Almost a month and a half since that damn bastard’d kidnapped her. Summer break’d already come and gone, the damn Georgia late summer heat and humidity as shitty as ever. As expected, hadn’t really seen her much since she’d survived that day. Well. Guess it’d be better said as “remembered” for me and Kyle, but it’d been kinda obvious even without us having lived it once: there’s no way Ms. Rae’d take Kylie going missing well, and she ain’t exactly a woman that’d ever handled a lack of control with grace.
Now, it’s the night b’fore school started back: the infamous eleventh grade year. A time I never wanted to revisit yet’s at my damn doorstep already. I’d say it’s too soon, but always’d be, if I’m honest. - Rotanu

"Magic was like jaywalking — technically illegal, but everyone did it anyway. In that sense, it was also like alcohol. Or extramarital sex."

Apparently the best way to keep up with my writing goals is to have a different, slightly more time-sensitive set of goals to procrastinate.

I got into the habit of rubbing my chin on my cat's head, and he is loving it. Except now anytime I sit down at a table, he runs over and bulldozes his face against mine, especially when I go to write or eat 😆
