Jason Irwin: A Blister of Stars (Low Ghost Press) No rating

Reborn by Jason Irwin

A man in a green mask asks me to count backwards from one hundred. At ninety-eight the table begins to spin, and I am swallowed by the light that hangs above me like giant insect eyes.

I can mark time by the surgeries; the way my grandmother marked my growth with pencil slashes on her kitchen door frame.

Each time I awoke from that abyss – my mouth a desert; my eyes two stones sunk in my skull – some small part of me had died; some small part was reborn.
