In Mourning For A Little Girl

When I am confronted by the mirror, I still see her- as lovely and as disgusting as she was when I had left her behind. A carcass memory of a face, some blank stare of what I am. Who I was. The harder I stare the more she fights to stay in that mirror. The harder I stare the more I mourn into an abyss.

I know more than I did, which is not to say I know better. Dirty, eager hands have melted my skin to a witch's shriek, leaving only a grotesque taunting, an empty flesh vessel I carry myself in. And if I could only I could grab those grabbings arms and wring them clean like some murky bath towel. To twist and drain their veins arteries fresh so that I can walk and be clean. But I have only ever been tragically paralysed, and brutally silent.

And so I stand here now, some vacant monster of a girl. A bloody handprint waxing my mouth shut. I am not a cannibal but I have eaten myself clean in barbaric swallows. And maybe some lingering smear of blood I left had traced itself back to me. Maybe my gut was manically kicked by the child I had muzzled. Maybe the first voice of my rage had begun with that little girl I sometimes still see in the mirror, whom I had so ruthlessly stomached.

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

I think a really good relationship dynamic is when one partner is an entirely absurd person and the other partner's perpetual thought process is, "I adore you. Why are you like this? I'm going to kiss you at such length and with such fervor that you'll get disoriented and stop being like this for five minutes and I can rest, for fuck's sake."
