"Let's play house 🥰" but the house is haunted. Our laughter fills the kitchen, but the floorboards creak upstairs. We ignore it until we can't. Drawers slammed by hands unseen, cups thrown, knives thrown. To the basement, we agree, frantic. This is not an allegory. We're still down here. Send help

A perfume that smells like the whir of a cassette tape before the audio starts, black coffee at 11 pm, a box of scrawled notes written in faded ink, a half-eaten doughnut, and the urge to look out the window into the darkness, just in case

I dreamed I wrote a post that went extremely viral, but unfortunately I can't remember what it was--when I tried to look at it in my dream, the original post wouldn't load and all I could see were the comments. I'm sure this means... something

A perfume that smells like the gentle click clack of knitting needles, tinny voices from an old radio play, too much berry jam heaped onto scones, and the whistle of a kettle about to boil

A perfume that smells like waking up to soft sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, the pages of an aged book still open on your bedside table, floorboards smudged with chalk traced in peculiar patterns, and the familiar smile of an old friend
