Periphery

by Kelly E. Lindner

Kalana isn't popular at her school, but strangely no one messes with her, despite the rampant bully problem. Perhaps it has something to do with her sheriff father who single-handedly cleaned up their once particularly dangerous town. The townspeople are grateful, but what was the cost of this strange miracle? Some say it certainly caused his wife's murder two years previous, but the kids at Kalana's school have a different theory. Kalana does strange things when she sleepwalks. She always wakes up covered in blood with her wrists slashed. But Kalana isn't convinced that this is why the kids at her school treat her so strangely. She wonders if there's something more. Something just out of reach. In her periphery.
