Here's my little entry:


SILENT THANKS

With a deep breath, I finally relax. She’s saved me from the trouble again. She is nothing if not resourceful. 

I watch as bubble after bubble crests the surface, the dead weight of the body causing a slight spin in the water. My cyclone of secrets. 

The stress of the last few days now a memory.  I return to the car, relieved.  I take a seat on the hot leather and glance in the mirror.

I wink at her.  My twin.  My double.

Where she’s retreated, deep in the recesses of my mind, I know she hears my silent thanks.  

THANKS JANET!
