Made for Edyson Julio’s short story, “If I Decide So.”

This flash-fiction piece tells the story of a young woman in moments of desperation and reflection of her life outside of the prison walls.

“…That maybe the sky is waiting for me to watch it once more, or that the rain wants to kiss my dark skin before the clouds dry. Sometimes I toss water from the sink into the air above me, and let it fall over my head and shoulders. If I close my eyes fast enough it feels natural, like Bronx rain.”
