I fall,
from behind the safety
of the wheel,
and let myself slip
into the embrace
of a seatbelt,
because those
are the only arms
for me.
The only arms I can reach.
And just across from me,
your dying too.
because thats how many it takes
to have a car crash.

yup, it takes two. haunting quality achieved by the sheer starkness of words. very good piece.
Goldie's daughter Chili Pepper leaves the Flirting With Food TV show & moves to Portland Oregon as Executive Chef at a new restaurant. But there is a rash of murders, all in the Pettygrove mansion where she lives with roommates.

This is very sad, and well written indeed.
