Whisper 1.40

Tomorrow will be Bobobo’s first day of school, and I’m still here to see it.

“Will there be kids there at school?” he asks.

“Yes,” I say. “That’s pretty much what school is about.”

“Yuck,” he says. “I should really stay here with you.”

But we agree that he’ll try it. I have a feeling he’ll love learning, even if he does choose to spend recess talking to the librarian to avoid what he calls “the…

Whisper 1.20

I’ve started writing. I love it! I can’t even describe the feeling. I tune into his channel within me, where all these stories stream, and I watch the words appear, form sentences, flow into paragraphs, and before I know it, I have a chapter, then two, then a novel! I don’t even know where these stories come from, but somehow, they all seem to relate to me and what I know of one person’s…

Whisper 1.19

The seasons fly by. Before I know it, snow blankets the ground and ice traces patterns of fairy wings on the windows.

Dante comes by most nights, and no matter how often I see him, how much I love him, I can’t keep my body from getting chills and feeling creeped out.

“Are you getting outside enough?” Dante asks me. “Don’t want you getting cabin fever.”

So I head out to a frozen pond at the edge…

Whisper 1.17

I spend a lot of time with friends. I have this idea that it will help me move through grief more easily if I have people around me.

Grief has its own rhythms and pacing. Give it time, and don’t look for the silver bullet.

Mara Nix is growing up, and she comes over often.

She asks me if I’d paint something for her.

“I just want a painting to hang in my room,” she says. “I think it’s classy. And…

Whisper 1.15

Dante invites me to a house party at his place, and the first two people I see there are Jin and Chauncey, and it looks like they’re flirting.

Maybe this is why they were suddenly in such a hurry to move out to their own place!

I look around for Dante, but he’s busy acting as the party host. I don’t feel like being third wheel with my former room-mates, and I don’t really feel like socializing…

Whisper 1.13

I’m heading over to Dante’s house. He called the other day and asked me on a date, but I was right in the middle of weeding the garden, so I declined.

But as soon as he hung up, I started thinking about him. I wonder what his lips tasted like. What’s it like to kiss a vampire? Will he use his fangs? I can’t get him out of my mind.

So when he called up this afternoon to ask me to hang out at his…
