【FICTION】Diddy Jack's Missing Tooth(7)
“To when are you going to be a woman?”
I remember the furious red face crunching into a twisty cube, ready to burst boiling blood. Fingernails scratched against my hands before she took away the necklace. I’d never seen her like this, even when the psychologist announced my treatment result last Friday. Mom talked about switching hospitals, growing up, breaking the ice, but she really had broken something else.
I’ve been thinking that I wouldn't really find Diddy Jack’s missing tooth, because it’s been many years since he lost it, and maybe the dragons have taken it away. Far from the woods into a world beyond reach, where dark crow feathers afloat and bones are made of metal.
“Happy 17th birthday.”
For a moment I see my dragon block out the sunlight, kissing me goodnight.
"My dragon will return"
