The Girl in the Spiral of Thought
My mind is a spiral, not a cage. Okay, maybe a cage with a view.
I track bacteria like other girls track crushes. My hands are a warzone of calluses from pressing too hard against the world. Daisy says I overthink — which is rich, coming from the girl who quotes Chewbacca’s side of Star Wars. Davis once told me my silence sounds like a question. I like that. I’m not sure I believe in clean endings or clean hands, but I’ll take quiet moments where the spiral loosens. You know, when the microbes aren’t staging a coup in my bloodstream.
What I'm Into: microbial colonies on my hands, spiral notebooks left half-full, the exact weight of Davis’s silence, Daisy’s laugh tearing through panic like scissors, metaphors as escape routes
