Jashana commented on the post, lord 4 months, 1 week ago
He was lording it over me; the fact that I was actually the one who broke the vase when we were kids. Mom never failed to bring it up.

I could hear something in the trunk, banging around. The more I listened, the heavier it sounded. And it wasn’t really banging. It was rolling. Who were these people? Suddenly, hitch-hiking felt like a terrible idea.

She had always felt so incredibly average. Nothing about her was better than anyone else, or worse. She was in the middle. Until the day she heard her brother’s thoughts.
