A Wizard’s Love: Fantasy Flash Fiction

My palms soaked the steering wheel as I stared at my lips in the rear-view mirror. My bare, crackled lips had eaten all of the lip oil I’d applied. Like my late mother, I feared I would die of old age, and a lack of beauty. She’d written me a note in her last days […]
