    Summary

    She would often find scratches on her hands that didn't sting when she touched them, or erratic bursts of blue that stretched down her arms like stepping stones. Sometimes they took up half her body, and were heavy and dark like the paint her father made for her with warm oil and sticks of pigmented wax, and she would ask her parents to pray with her for the stranger on the other side.

    As she got older she stopped praying, but she never stopped worrying.
