This one hurts.Even the ghost post worker had to sit with it for a while.It’s a jagged piece of glass, written by a sister for the brother she didn’t get to finish knowing.That kind of grief that’s hard to explain unless you’ve been there.

The kind of brown that feels like old journals… Continue reading THE ONE WHO NEVER CAME BACK
