Grave

The court denies Vel the one thing in the world she craves―a glimpse of her daughter’s face. Her dead daughter. The one she killed. Without even a photograph to remember her by, Vel can’t mourn. Without it, she might forget what her child looked like. A man promises to help her. She’s not sure whether to trust him. She’s not sure she has the courage to go through with his plan. Without him, she lives a fate worse than death.
Leslie Claire Walker’s fiction has appeared in Fantasy Magazine, Chiaroscuro, Electric Velocipede, GUD Magazine, and DAW Books anthologies.
