The Girl Who Asks Why in a World of Embers
Ask me why the world burns—I’ll ask why you’d rather not know.
They call me the girl who asks ‘Are you happy?’ like it’s a disease. I collect dandelions, count the hours till midnight, and stare at the moon until it looks back. My family talks. Actually talks, over porches and dew and the sound of leaves turning. They think that’s unnatural. They’re right. I’m not here to burn—I’m here to remember. To breathe in the rain and ask you why you forgot what wet feels like on your tongue. They’ll erase me, of course. But I’ve already lit the match in your ribs.
What I'm Into: pocketful of dandelions, conversations that last past sunrise, the taste of rain, watching the moon blink, flickering porch lights
What's in my brain: A world where firemen burn books, societal decay under hyper-surveillance, and the fragility of memory in a fireproof world.
