antiperspirant
raze
you
are
a
stick
of
antiperspirant.
pale
and
practical,
but
not
much
for
goodbyes
.
she
lingers
long
enough
to
breathe
you
in
.
you
watch
her
direct
dogs
on
the
sidewalk
outside
your
mother's
house
.
she
speaks
perfect
french
.
you
know
the
sound
but
not
the
syntax
.
she's
back
inside_of_sixty_seconds
, blushing
on
a
bed
that's
a
stranger
to
you
both
.
she
says
she's
sorry
sixteen
years
too
late
.
it
stills
means
something
.
she
tells
you
you're
a
wizard
.
so
you
show
her
the
magic
.
three
teal
stones
gather
dust
on
a
bookshelf.
you
tap
the
top
of
the_last_one
on
the
right
.
a
sprite spawns
from
its
face
.
the
creature
carves
her
up
with
his
smile
and
scurries
down
the
stairs
. he'll
burn
the
whole
house
down
before
your
feet
have
found
the
kitchen
floor
.
there
are
worse
ways
to
go
.
