Our Hookstory #6 — Catalyst

Lily Ko

Brown and blue eyes

Black, wet nose

A bicycle seat head

Almost cylindrical in shape (Mom keeps sneaking you treats when I’m not looking)

All of these things come together to make the best friend I could ever ask for.

Friday the 13th

At precisely midnight on Friday the 13th, I awake with overwhelming dread.

Aghast, sweat beads on my forehead.

I face a horror most vile, a nightmare most lucid— the final I forgot, due

11:59 on Thursday the 12th.

-Hanming Li, Biochemistry

Flip Flop

Tonight I flip,

flop.

Turning at infinite intervals. On all sides.

Everything is truly all or nothing.

I hope that I can fall asleep soon…

flip

flop
