Short Story: The Dreaming Wounds

dreaming

The Dreaming Wounds is inspired by a story that my mom liked to tell us about our late grandmother. She used to say that Poh Poh (as we called her in dialect) had the “Third Eye”, an inborn ability that lets you see ghosts. Poh Poh was completely blasé about this gift (curse?), though admittedly, she was generally an extremely easygoing, kind lady during her lifetime. Besides, ghosts have never hurt her–but as a survivor of the Japanese Occupation in Singapore, real people have proven to be worse. Hope you guys like it!
