Curtain of Frost

  "An old silver coin, snug against dark velvet backing under glass, hung on the bathroom wall: 500 Réis. A rushing mist blurred the glass. Ana was in the shower. The big cube of olive oil soap she¹d bought in Paris, in a housewares store, was almost the green of her eyes. She soaped her skinny legs. I stripped, stepped in, and helped. Her wet hair lashed against the tile and stuck in a long draping loop."   This story will be posted after publication.
