May Fiction: "Purification Ritual #2" by Angie Sijun Lou
Angie Sijun Lou - May 2, 2018
"His bunny bones caved in under my weight and I thought it was just like a baptism. He shivered at first, and then he stayed very still in a way that looked like drowning."
For April, we bring you original fiction from Angie Sijun Lou: the story of a young woman caught in a traumatic relationship and pushed nearly to the brink. Told in lyrical, meditative prose, this story is both unconventional and haunting in its vivid imagery and quiet, heartbreaking scenes.
