Thank you so much @ecotonemagazine.bsky.social! So excited to finally share this piece!
From “Missing Girl,” by Lauren Hohle in Ecotone 37 🌕
“Her face appeared on television and in the smudged ink of the morning newspaper, on the sweating cartons of milk served at Hannah’s school, and sometimes in Hannah’s dreams.”

Hannah and Michael were playing missing girl again. A jump rope snaked around Hannah’s waist, lacing her to the base of the oak in her front yard. Hannah

"I was taught that the Bible is infallible, every word true and intended and beamed down directly from God. I think books, especially my library books, which I would have never taken a scissor to, felt simply sacred, not made."

I was considered “good,” considered a “good influence.” It amazed me — like the cool feeling of Marshall’s tongue on my labi
