Her sweet eyes, the ghost of the hug she left on me. I beam block after block. I would break into a skip if the streets weren't so busy. Instead, I walk with the lightest body I've had in a long time, maybe since I was a child.

"I haven't met any other dykes," I say, trying to let it slide easily off my tongue. "So. You're a dyke, eh?"

I think for a second, which is exactly one second too long. I could cry right now. I could explode into a million tears. I swallow twice and stand up, look away so she can't see it in my eyes. Get your shit together. Get your head back in the game.

I didn't have to ask her to come back, she shows up almost every night. Even on nights I'm not working.

We have money for food and rent and a cute little place, and we have each other. I don't need anything else.

I kept my eyes closed, rolled toward her, and wrapped my arm around her sun-warmed belly. I didn't know I would need this memory. I would need to pull it like a thread and stitch myself up with it, in a future I could have never imagined. It's the only way I can make this future mine.

Tight jeans, fresh haircuts, sleeves rolled evenly on both sides. Even the ones with messy hair and untucked shirts look tousled on purpose. My brain does it again, pointing to each one, yelling, Gay! Gay! Gay!

It's three in the morning and today is the day we've been waiting for - the day we arrive in San Francisco. I should be excited, but instead my heart races, and self-doubt crawls under my skin like spiders.

And this is how it started. A love pact. A gray day. Hoodies and backpacks. Wet faces grinning in a brick alleyway off Lincoln Boulevard. Our fingers weaving together. The electricity between us, firing off in every direction.

"All the time I'm thinking, What would it be like if we could just be together? But I know it's a fantasy, we can't just be gay, you know?"

While we may have clung to each other out of necessity, the fruit of that necessity was a love and devotion uniquely, definingly queer.

Op het journaal hebben ze aangeraden om ieder uur een flink glas water te drinken, ze tonen zelfs een plaatje van hoe een flink glas eruitziet - dat lijkt niet op de glazen die wij hebben.

Ik ga op mijn rug tussen de lavendel liggen. Laat alsjeblieft de dag wachten zodat ik niet naar school hoef, net zo lang als dat het gras op het weiland ligt tot het droog genoeg is om te hooien, zodat het vochtgehalte langzaamaan in mij afneemt.

Vader daalt de ladder weer af, ik kijk neer op zijn middenscheiding, zijn hoofd lijkt op een sleufkopschroef. Soms zou ik hem de grond in willen boren zodat hij nog maar twee dingen kan doen: toekijken en luisteren, heel veel luisteren.

Misschien ben ik net zo fragiel aan het worden als moeders servies en moet ik op den duur in kranten gewikkeld worden als ik naar school moet. Ferm zijn, fluister ik tegen mezelf Je moet ferm zijn.

Door het raam zien we vader en moeder op de bank zitten. Van de achterkant lijken ze net op de stompe kaarsjes in onze lampionnen. Met wat spuug doven we ze.

De kist stond op het dressoir op een wit gehaakt kleedje waar met verjaardagen kaasstengels op stonden, nootjes, glaasjes met bowl, en net als bij feestjes stonden daar nu ook steeds mensen in een kringetje omheen.

Ik pakte een witte boterham uit het brood-mandje en legde die op mijn bord, ondersteboven zodat het net twee bleke kleuterbilleties leken.

I believe I fell asleep again with the pen in my hand. Oh, how Wendell would mock me if he knew! And yet I have so many ideas for the papers I will write about Dark Faerie, as I have decided to call it - indeed, I could write a book on the subject!

The next morning I awoke to the certainty that something terrible had happened. It was an odd feeling, like waking from a nightmare, without the relief that consciousness ordinarily supplies.

Ah, I am weary. Ordinarily my field studies give me plenty of cause to go wandering in various forms of wilderness, but I have not had much reason for exercise since our stay in Austria. Only a short entry this time, and then sleep.

I'm unsure how much time has elapsed. I came back to myself just now, the pen still in my hand. I had descended into a blank haze, during which I simply stared out the window.

I must write it down. For it is in writing that will discover a way out.
A door within the story. There is one. It can not end here.
Yet some stories do.

I've not had much time for journalling these past few days. Now it is dark, and I am alone here by the fire in our bedroom.

Well! I have poured myself a glass of wine to celebrate, for I have completed my work here, and sooner than I thought I would.

It has been too long since I've written. Several times after our journey to the yew grove I have picked up my journal, readied my pen, and then simply stared at the blank page.

The place once known as the King's Grove is located in the forested hillside behind the castle, accessed by a lantern-lined path, one of many that winds through the royal forest.

A new year. Not that one would know it in Faerie - the Folk pay no mind to human calendars, or, in some cases, to the concept of linear time. It is odd.

Orga the cat came charging onto the path. As she came, she seemed to grow. And grow, until she was a monstrous shadow, a shadow with only the barest of shapes, that being mostly mouth, yawning with fangs. "The Beast of the Elderwood!" someone shrieked.

"Perhaps we should secure your throne before I go about demanding anything." I could not help laughing. My heart was still galloping, but I felt a little calmer. "Oh, yes,' Wendell said. "First things first." And so, that is what we did.
