Mirages
NIGELLA LEE Silently, I trailed behind the head of the registrar's office. Ever since I entered through the main gate of the campus, their gazes had been different and peculiar. Whispers filled the air, creating a symphony of murmurs. I curiously glanced up at him as we came to a halt in front of the principal's office. It was my first-time stepping foot in such a place. He opened the door for me and gestured for me to enter. My eyes widened in surprise as I beheld the individuals seated at the long table. Yet, it was only one person who evoked a sense of unease within me.

Named by Forces
When Hu’osh asked why she wasn’t called for during her wounded father’s last breaths, no one had anything to say. Even the proper elders, who muttered sacred names, bestowed by the earth itself, had only vacant stares to offer. As if the last of their voice was used up when they muttered into the ground so that it could swallow her father’s corpse whole. Their silences melded so that Hu’osh, too, was swallowed by languor.
