The Weight of Blood

by Tiffany D. Jackson

Well, Maddy . . . wherever you are, I hope you find what you’re looking for. And that you’re happy. You deserve to be happy.

the ruins of the Washington home were fenced off, the entire block eventually abandoned. No one wanted to live near the strange reminder. Five years later, the city set aside a budget to clear the property and put it on the market, hoping to encourage buyers to consider Springville as their new potential home. During the excavation of the Washington home’s remains, only a few items were left intact. One of which was a hot comb.

This as a closing line is 10/10!!!!
