His grey t-shirt was still on his side of the bed where he'd left it — not folded, just dropped, the way he always dropped things when he was thinking about something else. She had not moved it in eleven days. She sat on top of the duvet in the anarkali she'd...

The aunties' voices rise and fall through the floor — laughter, then someone's name repeated, then the particular cadence of a story that has been told before. Nadia sits on the edge of her mother's bed and does not move to change out of her anarkali. The...

Sundress on a Texas Ranch, Empty House, High Noon

The house was hers until sundown. She had counted on that. Truck dust still hanging at the end of the drive, the last hand's tailgate disappearing into the cedar, and she had given herself exactly that long — the whole hot middle of the day, the cicadas...

She can hear Dominique through the wall — that particular carrying laugh, the one she uses for collectors — and the thin percussion of glasses touching. The vernissage is still entirely intact out there. No one has noticed she is gone. The bathroom is small...

He breathes in. He breathes out. Slow and even, the way it only gets after midnight, when he is somewhere she can't follow. She has been awake since four. The bungalow holds the specific silence of pre-dawn Los Angeles — no birds yet, no traffic, just the...

Glass Dildo in a Frozen Maine Cabin

The lake is frozen solid outside the Maine cabin window, and she has been alone here for four days — the glass dildo warming slowly between her palms before she uses it, unhurried, watching her own...
The lake had not moved in four days. She could see it from the bed — that flat white expanse through the single window, the ice so thick and even it looked painted, the far treeline dark against a sky that had been the same pale grey since she arrived. She...
