30 Days of Fiction, Day #24: Balance Sheets
Photo credit: Johannes Ouendag
(Inspired by a 30-day yoga challenge at my yoga studio, I'm writing 30 flash fictions in 30 days. One a day. 100 words or less. Time limit: 15 minutes. You can read all of them here.)
I've been practicing since childhood, making paper chain razor blades, fashioning shoelaces into nooses, drowning myself in public swimming pools. For Halloween: I was Plath (my head in an Easy-Bake Oven), I was Rothko (my arms dripping blood), I was Cobain (my face shattered). Today, I focus on my career as an accountant and remind myself that tomorrow is a new day.
