He held his gaze
in the mirror as he picked up the jewelry from the dresser and
secured the cross around his neck. The familiar weight settled
against his bare chest, the silver searing through each layer of skin
to burn straight into his soul. The smoke rose off his flesh like
dramatically timed fog in a ballet. His heart fluttered in an
uncertain and curious cadence. No longer the dull, steady
thrumming—the march that went beyond the edges of the universe and
kept going. It was a new beat. One that could change. Or someday end.

Through the smoke,
August glimpsed the ghost of a smile.

Thank you to the

Karen and Michelle for
beta reading. Extra thanks for coming to my aid in brainstorming
developmental editing sessions and continuing to take a look at
