    I’ve had the key for over seven years. When they call for the door to be opened, I am ready. The door holds back.

    door holds back as I
    Hold its key

    Since then I don’t trust myself. I don’t. In relationships, with work and school, even what I should wear in the morning. There’s an app for all that. I made it. So maybe that does mean I trust myself?

    There were cheap clothes all around the thrift store. Jackets, pants, orange tees with white frilled lace collars. White frilled lace collars? How unusual! Where, who designed this?

  • The keychain scratched across the windshield as the snow fell. The key rattled over indents in the glass and he could feel their sudden tugs on his arm.
