So you were never a saint
And I’ve loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this love is brave and wild
Inspiration
This was published as a Flash Fiction between 2020-21, and has been edited into six chunks for easier rereading. I was inspired to write some more stories set in the fall of 2002 with the Alcazar fallout. I haven’t rewritten that period since it originally aired, and my perspective has changed so it was fun to revisit. There were no major story changes, so if you read it already, it’s only been cleaned up for typos. Read Original Flash Fiction
