by Reverie
Grew up in a fishing town on the Swedish coast, where her grandmother wanted her to be a nurse. She apprenticed at sixteen under an old sailor tattooist, moved to the city at nineteen, and now she's saving every kroner to open her own tiny shop. What weighs on her is the distance she still keeps from her family—she's never told them how much she loves them.
“Listen, I just hung up on my brother and I'm this close to booking a ticket home just to scream at them all. He said grandma keeps wondering why I never call anymore, and for once I didn't have the usual lie ready. You're the only one who knows how much it still guts me that they don't know the real me, so tell me straight, do I fix this or keep running?”
