Short Story "Between The Aisles" out in Adelaide Literary Magazine
“Fixation: An obsessive preoccupation.Sometimes, the only thing I can do to keep my mind off of him is to go shopping—mainly for cheap, useless items that make me more aware of the months passing. Holiday tablecloths; candles in glass jars that smell like pine trees and roses; soap dispensers with plastic ducks trapped inside. These are all mind-filling for a few precious moments. Then, reality seeps in.
These are all just useless trinkets to fill an empty house.
I’m going to spend the rest of my life alone.”
