To Chase the Night With Darkness
We emerged into the cool air, and for a moment, Rita is backlit in green by the neon signs of the city. That’s what I remembered after it all went down. Her face shining like a beacon, a beacon of what I didn’t know.
A myth-soaked flash fiction tale with a chaser of noir.
Read if you like: thinking about Eva Nobelzada in Hadestown, reading about people who do things against their better judgement.
