Liminal: occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. OED. Top Story - September 2023.
Bonbons in a glass jar tempt me; a jar of chopped-up rainbow. I swirl a yellow one around my mouth, expect the zing and tang of fresh lemon. I spit it into my hand when no one is looking and bury it in a potted ficus by the TV set. I hate bananas. My husband devours them instead of crisps and candy. I smell them on his clothes; just a hint, through wood-spice aftershave and whiskey.

Birthday. Content Warning.
Joseph set his sprinkled cupcake down on the yellow pine kitchen table. He inserted a pink and white birthday candle into the center of the purple-frosted top. Joseph stared into the lone candle's flame for several moments, deciding what his wish would be this year. As he prepared to blow out the candle, Happy Birthday started playing in the background, and he could hear voices laughingly hollering for him to hurry up and blow out his candles. Drawing in a breath, Joseph blew a puff of air at the candle, extinguishing it on the first try. The voices all hollered out, asking him what he wished for this year.
