Self vs. Self

CHAPTER 5

Half a pound

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Stick it in some old hose,

Used too much makeup, feeling kind of down.
Wants to be a princess, but he looks like a clown

“But my friends would laugh at me, mom.”

“You’ve got to be exaggerating. Nobody would laugh at you.”

“You don’t know anything!”

CHAPTER 4
Back to work the next day, of course, and I was on the folder. I don’t like platform pedals, and riding in a suit was a pain in the arse, quite literally at times, but my boss had taken a firm line on appearing at a trader’s in lycra.

“A haunt?” Kazmina asked, dismayed.

“A phantasm, a ghost?” the woman said. “In the barn yonder.”
