Criss Cross
What's Criss Cross About
She wished something would happen. Something good. To her. Checking her wish for loopholes, she found one. Hoping it wasn’t too late, she thought the word soon. Meanwhile, in another part of town, he felt as if the world was opening. Life was rearranging itself; bulging in places, fraying in spots. He felt himself changing, too, but into what? So much can happen in a summer.
