Happy Birthday

Title: Happy Birthday
Series: none, thank God
Rating: Rish?

Notes: Written during my ill-advised Poe period, many years ago. Unadultered wangst, prose my mother once referred to as 'ultraviolet', vaguely supernaturally stuff, and, most shocking, pure het. Kept for humility's sake.

( I came home broken from the ends of the world. )
