Diamante Block-Crane

The white pills were in her left hand, and she held them there for a long moment. She claims now that she was steeling herself, preparing for events to come. But truly, she was offering one more chance for any of those imbeciles — she only needed one — to arrive, to save her life.

They say that she is insane.

Estelita Hotz

She was already clothed in black when she arrived at the stranger's house, though it took an extra moment to add the face paint and leather jacket. The window was open, as she had requested, and she pulled herself through, wondering just where he was waiting this time.

She is the girl all the bad guys want.

Kaye Harrington

The news trucks were on the lawn, and the cameras were barging into her home, and she loved every second of it. But she had never planned for this catastrophe, and now she is in all the magazines and she can never escape her sins.

Everything is broken here.

Leah Gregory

Though he is gone, she will never be rid of him. He haunts her dreams, stars in her nightmares, steals her thoughts and replaces them with rust. She curls into the fetal position on her bed and wonders when she can finally escape this hellhole they call life.

It rains on the righteous as well as the wicked.

Amora Fisher

She watches the other girls spin in iridescent circles, collapsing into each other as the alcohol takes effect, and she asks herself why she is not one of them. But she knows the answer: she is prettier, she is stronger, and she is better than that. (If only she believed herself.)

This is a story about love.
