Head in Grass

​"You spent so much time sharpening your edges so the world won't crush you, but you forgot that I've spent my life handling things that bleed me. You aren't dangerous to me."

Julian Kajano builds gardens like fortresses-architectural, precise, and untouchable. Maya Arc spent her life in a flower shop, learning that the things that hurt you are often just the things most afraid of being held. One is a rose of jagged edges, convinced that to be soft is to be broken; the other is the only person who knows how to handle a thorn without flinching. In the overgrown ruins of a decaying estate, they are both discovering that you don't have to be a masterpiece to be worthy of the sun.

​"Head in Grass" - a story about the terrifying beauty of finally letting your guard fall and choosing to be rooted instead of perfect.

​A story by Selah.
