Daciana: Blood
Daciana stared, her reflection defiant, a haunting look straight back at her. The scissors were heavy, hard, and stiff, driven by anger. Clumps of hair filled the sink and tumbled to the floor.

Milly: Inappropriate
TW: Milly’s Story contains Conceive behaviour She flinched as the front door slammed shut. The infants woke from their slumber with a tremendous cry.
