A Good Little Girls Zine

Empty Boxes

Each time it comes, I run, filled with curiosity and glee, pick up the strangely light box; hopes not quite shattered.

It is a box. It has arrived at my doorstep. It has to have something I will need.

And.

Each time. I open it, there lies space upon space of nothingness,

Just air.
