“The Lost Bookstore”

Dreams in the Rainy Alley 🌧️✨

Chapter 1: Dead Zone East
The wind was dry, but the ground still stank of gunpowder and blood. Not rain. Not life. Just the bitter memory of a war no one finished.

Tick. Content Warning.
She’s lucky. I stayed. Through the ambulance, the coroner, the silence that settled like fog. Twice. I kept the freezer stocked. I filled in paperwork so all she had to do was sign it. I filled the gaps.

telephone
Alicia sighed into her hands as she plopped down on the toilet lid for the eighth time today. Her cheeks burned a bright red as her puffy eyes rested against the balls of her hands.
