Warnings: Mention of a bus crash and aftermath.
Notes: none.


Some people drink. Summer swims.

The day was wretched; bright and sunny and fifteen people dead in a bus crash. Body after body after body and the stink of death, like chloroform.

When she was a toddler, her papa would put her in a bright pink inner tube shaped like a duck and let her paddle her way around the lake, laughing. Now she takes a deep breath and dives into the pool, water like fingers combing through her hair, reviving, restoring.

When she surfaces and slicks her hair back, she feels more like herself than she has in days.
