“On a nightstand in a teenager’s room, a glass vase filled with violets leans precariously against a wall. The only thing saving the vase from a thousand-piece death on the hardwood floor is the groove in the nightstand’s surface that catches the bottom of vase, and of course the wall itself. The violets, nearly a week old, droop in the light of a waning gibbous moon. Wrinkled petals are already piling up on the floor between the nightstand and the wall, and a girl only six days sixteen stares at the dying bouquet from her bed.” FictionHigh SchoolAbuseYoung AdultInsanityShort StoryFlowersAdolescenceTeenWerewolvesHallucinationViolets Book:Emily Smiles for April Source: Emily Smiles for April
