this morning #528.

this morning, everyone had gone away & they were left alone in the home with nothing but time. out of the four folks who lived there, they were the only one not heading home for the holidays. mom had died. dad was out of the picture. after last year’s dinner debacle, their sister wanted nothing to do with them so they’d decided it would be easier if they just stayed away. it wasn’t exactly an option anyhow, so they had a few days of reflection planned out. sage. spirits. candles. tori. cherry pie. their favorite wine. possibly a few spells to address their recent misfortunes. with nobody there to interfere, every option was on the table. sadly, none of those options would make them feel less alone.
