Girls like me didn't go to college. We didn't go no further than a 73 Chevy with a bum starter and a trickle of gas would take us. And Henry knew it. He signed my yearbook like he was giving tokens to the gal in the bus station cage who watched life from behind the glass.

Sometimes I sit at the dead-end stop sign before our cul-de-sac; Honda Odyssey idling, 38 Special playing me back to 1984. I give the rearview a hard look with once-young eyes now strangled by crows feet, and I can't bring myself to move.

He's a simple man, of simple tastes. He likes his beer American, and his women chaste.
He tells me to hush, as good women must.
I give. He takes. He bends. I break.

There's a difference between being a dreamer and just being dumb. Being a dreamer is fantasizing that you can keep your mother-in-law at bay with an Expecto Patronum charm. Being dumb is opening mail dusted in a white residue because you think it journeyed to you by owl

I was trembling like a fig leaf in a twister on that cliff overlooking the limey sea when Mama scoops up my hand and says, "We only get a wink of time on this old rock. I don't mean to blink, and miss the journey."
Then we lept. We lept like God'd catch us.

We journeyed all through New Mexico's big, red ocean of burnt earth with only eachother to lean on. Around Albuquerque I realized it didn't matter that Henry's arms were spindly and weak. All that mattered was he opened 'em wide enough to hold all my heartache.

Me-"I'll just order this one #book"
Amazon-"You may also like.."
Me-"Ooh, that looks good too." *adds*
Amazon-"Also from that #author.."
Me-"Yasss!' *adds, adds*
Amazon-"These also have words!"
Me-"Why not!" *adds, adds, adds*
Me-*86 books later* "I regret nothing"

A: Hi! Aquaria here again! Kelley is here somewhere, he hates these so he’s probably hiding again.
K: I’m avoiding this as long as I can.
A: anyways, we’re from J. Avis’s current WIP Aquaria Oceana. We’re the leads.
K: And the constant subjects of J’s torture.
Back to civilization! I have a signal... for the day. Back into the mountains tomorrow. Maybe I can get some #AmWriting or #amediting done while off the grid for the day.

Aquaria: Stories don’t scare me anymore. After hearing all the stories about my father’s past... stories stop scaring you. The things he has done to people... don’t get on his list, you’ll regret it.
