For In That Sleep
For In That Sleep She fell, slipping through blue, dropping past dappled green and startling sparrows. The earth caught her softly, flung her back up and sucked her along in its wake. She was a satellite. Ashes. Dark hush, then chiming laughter, silver peals sparking like comets. She blinked at the light.

Dear Admin
Hi Andy Admin, Thanks for reaching out to inquire if you could ask me a few questions about the school culture at good ole ABT Comprehensive High School. I can clarify any question you, or anyone reading this email, asks–I am always willing to answer questions–that’s how people communicate. Silence helps no one, but power dynamics and personal conflicts often constrain people from speaking. While I prefer the term “goal” to "outcome," I appreciate that you are asking to set specific boundaries. Every conversation in a professional establishment should have set boundaries and specific outcomes they are trying to achieve.
