"In life her name was Nerissa."

This is a short one. if you google that phrase, with the quotations specifying the search, my blog is the only result you get.

The crash happened just up the road from my rural home. i remember waiting for the bus that morning, seeing the flashing lights where the street intersected. the tree that they hit still stands all by itself, the only tree fifty feet in either direction. tar immortalizes the scars left in the trunk.

it was an icy day, and my friends were just up there, dead or dying.

That day's left me screwed up, in places, at times.
