She makes a banner with her hair
My short story "A Cherry Without a Stone" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It was supposed to be a poem: ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yhlee had given me a handful of prompts, including "a siege of cherry blossoms." The phrase took off immediately into prose instead. The title comes from a riddle song that my mother used to sing as a lullaby, although technically her version was a cherry that had no stone. It has trees, and war, and stories; it is honest-to-God secondary-world fantasy, which is rare for me. I am back to feeling that my body has completely forgotten how to sleep.

Thank you! I will link to the magazine when it's published.
I hope it will sing you to sleep.
I slept about two hours. I'm awake to take my father to British Car Day at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. The event was rescheduled from earlier in the summer.
