Bad habits

Twenty-Something
Here's the thing about me: I'm a mom, but I'm also 25. Moreover, I'm a 25-year-old mom in 2022. I'm physically attractive, with a thick accent and a people-pleasing mentality caused by years of mental and physical abuse. This matters because without meaning to, I construct a perfect companion for whoever it is I'm talking to. I nod my head, I grin just wide enough, I take my glasses off at just the right time to reveal the eyeliner I've carefully used to round out my almond shaped eyes in just the right places. Conventionally, I'm attractive. In the ways that count. In the ways that get me laid.

100 things I'd rather do than finish the story I'm writing to enter the Christopher Paolini Vocal+ Members-Only Fantasy Fiction Challenge. Top Story - November 2022.
If you’re like me, you write. But whenever someone cheerfully chirps: “Ooh, I love writing! I live to write!” you wince. Why? Because writing isn’t fun.

Giuseppe Benassi, "Spiriti animali"
“Lord Byron was right, we are possessed by animal spirits, invisible beasts take power in us, settle into our spirits, and are benevolent or malevolent as the case may be.”

I just wish I could walk into a secret room, grope around in the dark till I find that red big knob, flip the switch and wake up in my bed again like I did this morning. Story of your life? Haha you’ve got a friend in me!
