Excerpts
“There were always two, even as they all thought we were only one, even as you listen incredulously and think, no, there is only one, one voice, one story.

Except the visions never really came true. And after the treatments, she stopped having premonitions, but began hearing voices. Although she didn’t tell anyone about those.”—Read “Discount” at The Pedestal Magazine
