Notes to Bean 11.2.10

Open Topic (this piece is under construction)
Lex gasped in alarm as cold water splashed over her face. Her fingers prickled, beginning to lose sensation, in the icy stream as she cupped her hands, collecting more water for her preferred wake up call. She found these days a tad bit easier if she began them shocked and... Continue reading

Adored
Cassandra was six years old when she killed her grandfather. It was a sweltering summer day, the muggy air settling heavy into a typical Southern late afternoon rainstorm. Cassandra meandered along the gravel road leading to Moon's Willow, stopping every so often to study the paths of the working ants... Continue reading

The Caged Bird
Cassandra traced the letters along their sharp, cold edges. They were newly chiseled and scratched the pads of her fingers just lightly enough to make them feel real. B-E-L-O-V-E-D D-A-U-G-H-T-E-R Cassandra felt the truth in the stone, even though she could not read the words. She'd watched her parents grieve... Continue reading

Breaking the Fast
"Nobody's dead here!" Cordelia Moon said sternly to the gossiping biddy disguised as a caring friend. The caller, shocked but undeterred, lifted up her apple pie offering once again. "We'll certainly keep your family on our prayer list during this time of loss," she said primly. Abruptly, Cordelia slammed the... Continue reading

Failure to Communicate
What began as a sing-song summons deep in my subconscious becomes a cacophony of calls, my name screamed, as my mind slowly surfaces. I blink into a shaft of sunlight breaking through the tall pines and immediately reach up for my kite girl necklace. My sigh of relief at its... Continue reading

The Place That Cannot Be
I awake to a serpent's tongue flicking in my ear. I am paralyzed by the feel of the surrealistically rapid metronome on my eardrum, but my fear quickly begins to melt into my intuition as I register no rattling, no hiss, no sudden, startling, curved fang terror as a spade-shaped... Continue reading

Are you angry, little girl?
She spends half of her time with the memories in her mind, while the other half's in chains, shackled by the guilt and shame that is not hers, that is not mine. --Christy Snow, Inner Child Today's title and prompt are taken from a heart-wrenching song called Inner Child. It's... Continue reading

A Turning Lock
How strange the memory of a turning lock - watching the door knob, seemingly undisturbed, give way to a pocket knife pick, the lock turns silently, slowly - and the space of its revolution holds the hopes and fears of all my 7 years. There are gasps and scrambles on... Continue reading

I am the: ADOPTEE/CHILD
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the... Continue reading

Self-Worth
I dragged the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody...nobody. --Neko Case, Vengeance is Sleeping Today I heard this song for probably the 100th time, but processed the above line for the very first time. I was almost overcome with identification, an immediate awareness of my past self, both distant and... Continue reading
