A sneak peek at the first chapter of a short story is going out to newsletter subscribers. (Look at the Newsletter page if you'd like to sign up.
I wrote Bait Girl a few years ago, with a different plan for how this story would be sent out into the world. I attended a private school in Montgomery County, Maryland, a fact I have always been proud of, but that wasn't particularly interesting to those outside the DC surrounding areas, until just recently, when the specific elite culture of those private schools became really newsworthy.
This was the story I needed to tell myself right now.
Content Note:
This story contains descriptions of drunken teen partying, and references to off page assault. It also contains a reference to an off page death due to depression.
Please take care of yourself. I hope this story leaves you feeling empowered but if it triggers you please stop. I can recommend stories with puppies for you instead. |
