“Did my mother ever get to see a cicada molting? Did she wish that she could do exact that? Shed her skin and be someone new? There were days when she seemed to transform into something quieter, darker. Her colors deeper but also muted. Both her truer self, and not. Or maybe it wasn't a transformation.

Someone gives you a harsh look, murder. Someone disrespects you, murder. Someone ruins your laundry, murder.”
