Animated mosaic-style image split down the middle. On the left, the close-up face of a large spider, its glossy black eye reflecting light. On the right, the serene face of a young woman with dark hair and pale skin, her expression solemn and introspective. The two halves are divided cleanly, as if the woman and spider are mirror images or two halves of one being. The image pulses subtly with movement, evoking themes of duality, identity, and horror.

ARACHNE: "I'm a monster, Jayce . . ."
A black widow spider sits perfectly centered in a dark green web shaped like a heart. The web stretches across the entire frame, symmetrical and sharp. The image evokes predation, romance, and fatal obsession.

The spider's stalking echoed hersβa predator that ensnared her prey and devoured them whole, flesh and soul.

She continues to open doors in me and shows me rooms within myself I had never set foot in.
A high-contrast, minimalist black and white illustration of a woman in a backless dress, standing in profile. Emerging from her back are eight large spider legs, blending beauty and monstrous power. Below her, bold red text reads: βLove stories donβt begin this way . . .β followed by a quieter echo: βMine does.β The design evokes themes of sensuality, danger, transformation, and the monstrous feminine.

You got this. And those people in your head are as real as anything else.
A stylized silver cross is centered against a dark background. Tangled white spider webs stretch from its arms to the edges of the image. A black spider is pinned at the center of the cross, where blood spatters mark its legs and torso. A single thick line of blood drips downward from the spiderβs body along the length of the cross, evoking both crucifixion imagery and sacrifice. The tone is gothic, violent, and symbolic of absolute love and corrupted faith.

She kisses the inside of my wrist, and a fierce, bittersweet passion ignites within me. I want to dive into her and let her currents carry me away.

The day I killed someone I loved was the worst day of my life.

I seize her hand as she turns away. β What are you afraid of?β
βJayce, let me go. I mean it.β She begs rather than threatens.
βYou wanna dance?β
Her gaze lingers upon me . . .
β . . .βLovesongβ is playing. Iβve been listening to The Cure. Just one dance.β

She wants acceptance. There is so much I have to ask her. There is so much I need to know. We created a whirlwind in a glitter shop, and we can never put things back the way they were.

A hand caresses the middle of my back and slides up and down like a flame.
I know her by touch.
βHello.β Her smile is an oasis.

Iβm so scared that I will never feel that way again, like I did with her on that bridge. She broke me.β Tears burst out of me, like water from a shattered snow globe.

Lips met. Sparks fizzled. From yucky to meh, my kisses with boys left me wanting. I didnβt expect fairy-tale magic, but it had to be better than this.
Favorite lines from my novel Her Kiss and The Spider
I never imagined a kiss like this was possible. My heart soufflΓ©s. We cup each otherβs faces with our foreheads pressed together.
βYouβre crying,β she says in a low voice.
βIβm so happy,β I whisper. Finding her was finding me.

I want to save her, even if I canβt, especially if I canβt. Iβll give her my blood if it helps, my plasma or kidney if she asks for it, my bone marrow, my liver tissue. . . my heart?
