What if rich,

White,

Straight,

Men,

Didn't rule the world anymore?

What if life as we knew it was over?

Guess what, God is a woman,

And I know her!

What comes after,

Tiny fractures?

It was May. Summer was around the corner and Jessica was still in that awful institution. That was four whole months. She told her therapist every day that she was fine. That she was ready to go home. Her face didn’t bother her. But...

Her therapist knew that was a lie. It was obvious that The Accident had taken more than a physical toll on Jessica. She had to be restrained some nights when she woke up screaming about monsters and the mines. The blonde had taken to picking at her nails. It made her feel better. “... Jessica, are you listening to me?” That finally got her attention.

“Nope. What’s going on? I’m going home today, right?” Jess sat up in her chair more and looked to the other woman. That was a no. Shit.

“I was just telling you that your friend Josh is finally ready for visitors. Since you’re still here, we thought it would be a good idea if the two of you reconnected.” After all, all their other friends stopped visiting. Not on purpose, but life got in the way. Daily visits turned weekly and soon enough, it was every two weeks. Even her own parents didn’t visit anymore. “Jessica... Your friends said a lot of bad things about him, but... Do you want to see him?”
