Incidents Around the House

We walk. I think about Mr. Jeffery and how places mean different things for different people. Is our habitat, our house, a safe place for Mommy and Daddo?

And Mommy said that you can only “tempt” someone for so long before they give in.

But I have closets, she says.

But your daddo…he doesn’t have a single light turned off in his body. There isn’t one shadowy hallway inside him. Not one corner for something to hide. No closets.

he couple that drinks together…usually splits up. But the couple that drinks the same drink, usually does not.

How I saw she wasn’t hanging upside down in the closet. That’s just how her face is sometimes.

some things aren’t solved. Some things are always mysteries.

But it wasn’t a good night. It was a mean one.

why is the light any more true than the dark?

If you think about it, every time you’ve ever been scared in your life so far, you’ve also survived whatever you were scared of. Right? You’ve literally gotten through everything you thought you might not.
