Shovel Sisters

The next reader at the open mic night didn't draw much attention at first. Classic mom style: birthstone necklace of her kids, baggy sweater, big cluttered purse, and cat socks. Boring. Probably going to read something she wrote about the sacrifices of motherhood but how it's all worth it when they smile. But her voice was stronger than expected.

And her topic was justifiable murder.

Shovel Sisters is a story in a story that explores the lengths that women will go to to protect themselves and their loved ones. It aims to challenge the societal narrative of women as victims only. What if men that violate women were given a damn good reason to have to look over their shoulders on dark nights.
