“All my memories are things I gave away, traded for new days after days after days…”
Brenna Ehrlich
Placid Girl
“It tugs at me, filling me with the kind of seasick nostalgia that can hit you in the gut when you find an old concert ticket in your purse or an old coin machine ring you got down at the boardwalk on a day when you went searching for mermaids in the surf with your best friend. That punch of nostalgia hits me now and I start to sink down on the sky-coloured quilt, feeling the nubby fabric under my fingers, familiar as the topography of my hand.”

Placid Girl
“Shirts and jeans litter the asphalt, the empty fabric limbs askew as if they’re attempting to escape. Blood smears Sarah’s lips as she struggles against the chest of a dirty looking man with a beard. Terror. Terror is the only word my mind can seize on and it forgets what it means. I forget how to think – to move.”

Placid Girl
“When I was your age, I would go to plays all the time, just sit in the darkness and try to take it all in inside me. Contain everything in some corner of my heart so that when I had my shot, it could all come pouring out – all the lights and moments and colour.”
