“The sky is purple, the flare of a match behind a cupped hand is gold; the liquor is green, bright green, made from a thousand herbs, made from altars. Those who know enough to drink Chartreuse at Mardi Gras are lucky, because the distilled essence of the town burns in their bellies. Chartreuse glows in the dark, and if you drink enough of it, your eyes will turn bright green.” IfsKnowsMadeEnoughHandsEyeTurnsDarkBehindsSkyDrinkThousandLuckyGoldEssenceTownsGreenBellyPurpleAltarsLiquorHerbsFlareMardi GrasGlow In The DarkChartreuse Author:Poppy Z.
