Roi Fainéant Press - Octopus 8 Issue

This little micro fiction came from a photo I saw of two people sitting back to back with only their legs framed in the picture.

Bits of imagery made it into story, but in the end, it was less about the legs (which was the original working title of this piece) and more about the separate journeys ahead.

Read “When She Set the Alarm for Two” in Roi Fainéant Press Octopus 8.

Backs leaned up against a cracked plaster wall. Hands no longer moved to avoid the circumference of each other.
