Maxine

To live is to haunt and be haunted.

She went into people’s homes never really knowing what she was looking for. Sometimes in the middle of the afternoon, sometimes during witching hour. It didn’t start out that way but circumstances called for it now. She thought about times of crisis and how the only way out is through. So she kept robbing people and now she felt she had an excuse. She would talk to her navel and say, “I knew how to be brave for myself but I need to learn how to be brave for you.”
