Echo I hadn’t seen the door before. It wasn’t there last night. Cautiously, I turned the handle. I knew I shouldn’t have done it though because the next thing I knew I was plummeting into a dark and empty room, that’s if it even is a room, pretty sure I just fell into the void because of how long I was falling. I can’t really see if I am falling or not, probably because I don’t feel anything and I can’t look around because of the sharp vertigo. I can’t even describe what I can see looks…

Reka She lives on the second floor of a bell jar where the grow lights keep her warm. During the day, she wanders the room in her wheelchair. Sometimes, she abandons the thing for her feet, which are large, but not strong enough to support her height. When she stands, she can touch the curve in the ceiling, and when she has nothing better to do, she leaves her fingerprints on the glass stringing constellations across one side of the room to the other. This annoys her friend and guardian, Marika…

The warm blankets on the bed just had been washed and put into the dryer. As they came out I can feel the warmness from the blanket.

As I go outside with my umbrella…
