A Good Little Girls Zine

Some nights when the clock strikes midnight. Some days in the early hours of dawn, when I am asleep and also awake, I feel an intense icy wind stir.

Like the inside of a vast cave that resides inside a forest, the wind fills my bare insides, stirs the sharp vacant space.

In these times, the hollowness is palpable; a forever stamp of what this body will never bear.
