The Red Rose

**Story contains sensitive materials, examples are PTSD-related flashbacks, negative self talk, abuse, and swearing**
A Runic language that was invented over eighty-thousand years ago, still exists today and is considered a second written language for most. About 1% of the population knows it fluently by hand, it is considered to be very useful--especially for soulmates. You write to your soulmate on your skin like a letter and it appears on theirs, what's the catch for this? Runes are the language of communication, otherwise the language you speak is forever on your skin like a tattoo.
