Aubrey Rebecca
Bio
My writing lives in the liminal spaces where memoir meets myth, where contradictions—grief/joy, addiction/love, beauty/ruin—tangle together. A Sagittarius, I am always exploring, searching for the story beneath the story. IG: @tapestryofink

He Loves Me. Runner-Up in Rituals of Affection Challenge.
The church bell tolls—dong, dong, dong. I sit on the bench and wait, like I have every day for five years. Roland and I used to have lunch with the guys every afternoon, but when my circumstances changed, we agreed just to meet here.

How To Save Your Life With A Glass of Water. Runner-Up in Instructions Included Challenge.
Step 1. Acknowledge the smallest solvable problem I can tell you are reaching for the big stuff, saying something like—“If I could just quit drinking…” or “If my mother had never died…” or “If I wasn’t single…”—these are not what I am talking about.

First Snow Pancakes. Winner in The Ritual of Winter Challenge.
My father called them first snow pancakes. Bisquick, eggs, milk, oil. And snow. I grew up in a chaotic and dangerous house—belts cracked against skin, fists against faces—but the first snow softened the world, inside and out.
