“He doesn’t tell them that tomorrow is a memory so great and a hole so deep it cannot be measured.

Clara lived her life as a run-on sentence and didn’t tend to embrace commas. At least she didn’t back then.” There are stories that let you peek into the lives of characters and they feel so real like they could’ve lived next door. This is one of them @catherineobrien.bsky.social in Frazzled Lit.
