Dragonflies

[writefiction]

I've lived here on Monroe Street for 10 years.
Yesterday was the first time ever that I've seen a dragonfly here.
Mom said it was Emilie.
Jeff teased about the dragonfly being a dead person.
I don't think he understands the significance.

Butterflies were a staple around us when Jen died. No one could argue it, not me, Ren, Tara or her brother. Her mom cried any time she saw one land on her hummingbird feeder.

Smack the boy for his insolence.
