White is my logic. My safeword, of a sort. When I decorated this room at the beginning of last term, it felt like a clean slate–I was finally free of Dominic. I replaced photos of us with my candles, and the bright sheets he soiled with fresh, pure white. Dominic was the politics to my business; he was the last push-up, but without the adrenaline to cheer me up after. And when we–he–decided it was over, I needed to remind myself that I wasn't transparent without him, though it felt like all the colour had been drained from me. I was just a clean slate, just white. I was still beautiful.
Even when he said I wasn't beautiful at all.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
[email protected]
Lucy V. Morgan writes sharp contemporary fiction, usually with a liberal splatter of filth. She lives in England, where she also works as an editor. She spends her spare time consuming lebkuchen, working through her TBR pile, and pretending she's an urban fantasy heroine in body combat classes.
She shares lots of teasers on Facebook, so you should look her up right this minute, really, shouldn’t you?
