Three years had passed since my mother’s heart gave out without warning, leaving my father and me to navigate a world that had cracked down the middle. I was eighteen...

The Recurrence of Sleep

I never believed in doppelgangers, not until the night my neighbor, Mr. Hargrove, told me he’d seen me cursing at him in the parking lot of the old mill. I’d...
