  1. Great piece of flash fiction. Great line, “Are people who call themselves open book liars then? They imply holistic openness. But the truth is, even open book people decide which pages they want you to see, and those pages are usually masks.” And thanks for participatingi n A to Z!

  2. I LOVED this! Esp the part where she ponders over open book people and how “even open book people decide which pages they want you to see, and those pages are usually masks”. That line, especially, was a punch in the gut…and I feel it makes that last moment, where she retreats back to stuff that (IMO) barely matters to her, a lot more poignant.
