Other (2013)
“Mum raises her eyebrows. “Hungry again?”
“Yeah,” I say, around a mouthful of granola.
Through the kitchen window, sunbeams crack the clouds. I squint in the light. My hands tremble as I reach for the box of granola, and I clench my fingers into a fist. Going without shapeshifting doesn’t seem to agree with me.
Dad puts his bowl in the sink, and I say, “Can I help at the hardware store?”
He glances at me, eyebrows arched. “You want to?”
“I just said so.”
Dad scrunches his... face quizzically. “You must be feeling better, if your snarky is back.”
A smile ghosts across my face. “Snarkiness,” I correct.
I want something to do, something to distract me. Otherwise I feel like I’ll just wallow in angst and weepiness. A total waste of time. What good will that do for anyone? Least of all Chloe.MoreLess
