Iris Marlowe and I first met at orientation week, and our mutual hatred was instant. We were in rival teams under rival professors in the geology department, which meant I got to see her smug, perfectly composed face on a regular basis - and she got to see mine. Lucky us. Our hatred was mutual, consistent, and frankly well-documented. Until the day I was carrying shovels, we bumped into each other, and I stole her first kiss. What followed was chaos. And feelings I didn't sign up for.

For years, I gave Rex Williams everything. I knew his coffee order before he said it, ironed his shirts without being asked, kept the apartment warm, clean, and ready so he could walk in and feel taken care of. Then the comments started appearing. The more they pointed out the cracks, the harder it was to ignore the truth. Then he broke up with me because I felt more like a mom than a girlfriend. The hard part was figuring out who I was without him - and why my best friend was suddenly the only person who made me feel safe, seen, and wanted.

UPDATE: 1/14/24 - Per reader request, I will turn this from a short story into a novella. It will be taken down soon and re-published! Despite years passing since Hasan moved his children from Québec to Amman, twenty-four-year-old Yazid still struggles to see passed his father's decision to leave his mother. As the firstborn, he attempts to take on more responsibility for his sisters, but one of them perpetually meets him headstrong. If there are three words Hasan would use to describe his son, they would be reckless, disagreeable, and unpredictable. For this reason, he entrusts his eldest daughter Aseel to care for the family, investing in her more than investing in Yazid. With his mother thousands of miles away, and his father unapproachable, the young man finds solace in injecting himself with needles of "amnesia" as he puts it, unaware that, with every memory he washes away, he grows in sin. On one lonely night, Yazid comes in contact with slithering dancers, swaying from side to side, whispering in his ear that there is only one true way to cleanse himself of his sins. Genre: General Fiction Themes: Suicide, substance abuse, anxiety
