Lost and Found

The standoff with the closet was ongoing. Lilly’s hand braced on the door as she surveyed all six feet of the room's depth from one side to the other. On the left hung three pant suits: in black, beige, and gray; five button up blouses: in white, red, blue, yellow, and black; plus accessories, three black belts in three sizes, two handbags: in white and black; and two pairs of culottes: in black and green.

Luna rebirth

Weekly Contest #118

Jet’s new body trembled uncontrollably in the dirt. It was much like his old form. The ragged rising and falling rib cage was familiar as it strained for cold air to quench the fire smoldering over his burnt lungs. He was overly aware of his raw throat and the distant but constant hissing of air through his gritted teeth. Rebirth, in Jet’s opinion, felt very much like death but with more agony.Everything about this body was recognizable, his clenched hands, curled feet…even the height of him hadn’t changed...yet.
