We don’t really check our mail too often in the apartment. Walking down to the pool area every day where the mailboxes are is evidently too much to remember for all four of us, but we at least get to it every month or so. Then, our meager correspondences shower down upon the [...]

The door opens and a man beckons. We pick a booth in a dimly lit corner. The furnishings are wooden, stained with the hue of a dying hearth smolder. Our table is against a railed window facing the moor. The glass is cracked with crystals and salt.

As a disclaimer worded as delicately as I can (after all, [...] I was thinking again the other day about coming here, and whether I accomplished what I thought I might, or if I even had figured out what that was to begin with. I realized that sometimes when you look into a dark corner, you don’t always necessarily find out what’s there. Sometimes you just find [...] |
