"What if he didn’t meet the older boys behind the high school or the people under the overpass with their trash-can fires and shouts of buddy, pal, bro, people who handed out belonging like the rainbow of pills they stole and sold." Dawn Miller mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

"Fingertips snag on a ripped seam, and he pushes until stitches release and the shark’s insides fall apart just like the silvery body of the trout his dad cleaned when the three of them camped by the lake before everything changed." Superb work! @dawnwriter.bsky.social @westtradereview.bsky.social
