It stung her eyes and licked at her skin. Wood and metal crashed down as skin blistered and popped and she knew this wasn’t her, knew it was someone else, someone with a bigger body, bigger boots and darker jeans, and big ol’ hands with scars on the fingers.

I could recite the words to abolish the prison of my emptiness, to become young and immortal, to feel the lips of a queen on my lips, and to fall in love with Juliet day after day. All I had to do was recite the words written for me, and I would rule the empires of Europe and all its lands. But sadly, I know the inevitable truth—I can never recite those words again, because I don't know who I am.”

“Do you know what happened to her already? Did you catch it in the papers? Are you local? Did you know her? Did you see it on the internet?

Did you see the red-headed stock image model juxtaposed against an edited charred corpse, captioned, "You won't believe what they did to her?" Did you listen to a podcast? Did the hosts make jokes? Do you have a dark sense of humour? Did that make it okay? Or were they sensitive about it? Did they coo in the right places? Did they give you a content warning? Did you skip ahead?

“Dans un coin de la cuisine, une couronne de fleurs fanées lutte pour sortir de la poubelle. Will traverse la pièce, enfonce le couvercle. À ses pieds, les pétales qui dépassaient, brisés, chutent en silence sur le carrelage froid. Il se laisse tomber sur une chaise en leur jetant un regard haineux.
