THE WORD THAT WASN’T THERE
a night book of the empty space
William Vincent Carleton
One evening Lúmine and Líam sit on the floor and try to remember how the word "can't" felt in the mouth. "It felt heavy," Lúmine says. Now the space between them is simply open. Dee looks in through the window, then flies back to her stake. An Engine Series story about setting down a word that is no longer needed, with reader notes and questions to carry.
Coming soon to Kindle
