opal&vanille

In the Middle Ages, opal was said to confer the power of invisibility if wrapped in a fresh bay leaf and held in the hand.

This must have made for some awkward encounters. I have been wearing my grandmother's opal. it doesn't make me invisible but maybe it will make everyone ignore me.

today i was overtaken so suddenly by an all-consuming fatigue, day roofie. could do nothing but stumble down the stairs into my bedroom, grasping and clamoring for my bed. i swam under my duvet and recurrently woke to the blurry-eyed scent of pastries: my vanilla air freshener.
