    Summary

    “I thought it could be fun,” Jackie starts, “if we went on a road trip.”

    Shauna swirls the red liquid around the edges of her glass, raising an eyebrow. “A road trip?”

     

    (or the summer after their college graduation, Jackie and Shauna embark on a cross-country road trip. Shauna has secrets. Things get complicated from there.)

    Summary

    Jackie's corpse was taken in pieces—stripped by teeth, picked clean by desperate hands, swallowed into starving bellies. They took her in, made her part of them, let her linger in their blood, in their breath, in the marrow of their bones.

    But the wilderness does not just take.

    It keeps.

    It waits.

    Now the rivers swell, the earth loosens, and roots unfurl, winding through soil slick with memory. The trees rustle, heavy with new life, and the air thickens—rich with the musk of rot and rain, of something ancient stirring beneath the surface.

    Spring is a season of resurrection.

    And beneath the soft soil, Jackie breathes.

    Summary

    “Because I don’t like seeing you talk to other girls.”

    The words slipped through Jackie’s parted lips like drops of honey. Except nothing about this was sweet. Nothing about this was tender. It was utter breathlessness, clutching both of their lungs, making puppets out of them.

    She wasn’t entirely sure of what she was doing until she felt her fingers pressing against the skin of Shauna’s abdomen.

    “Or anyone. For that matter.”

    --

    [ Or, together in NYC for college, Jackie and Shauna find themselves in a messy situationship which drives them to slowly lose their minds over the course of four years. ]
