Emptied Spaces

It’s less a loose collective of writers and artists than it is a way to describe the shared themes and motifs resonating through them. It’s an angle of approach and the tint of the light and the sound of a doll crying in the other room, just far enough away that you can’t help her. It’s a fallen angel smoking on the overpass and thinking about jumping off even though she knows it won’t kill her.

It’s about trauma, and what comes after. -Else, @maybeelse
