Seashells. I love collecting them. I love running my fingers across their ridges. I want to hear the ocean in them. The one in my hand is small and delicate. Holding it to my face, I whisper. “Hello.”

It screams, “PUT ME DOWN!”

I drop it as I run away.

Cithara currently lives in North Carolina with their family, traveling between NC and Texas. They spend much of their time writing and studying languages. They’re fond of reading all kinds of things, from romance to horror. They’re also a big fan of things from the ocean, dachshunds, and making brand new meals. In their spare time, they travel with their family around the city and check out brand new restaurants and places to eat.
