Following the death of the notorious Claire Ashdown, her best friend and former flame attempt to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Told by a limited third person, Aftertaste captures three heartbroken voices: Lea, the best friend; Scarlett, the lover; and an unknown poet whose narrative splits the short story into seven scenes.

With a drop of red, a fallen petal,
Vanished with the breeze.
With a drop of red, a fallen petal,
Turned them inside out.
A drop of red, a fallen petal,
And I ceased to be.
With a drop of red, a fallen petal,
The roses wilted, all in one.
