Memoria

In the end, she only remembered that husband and son-in-law. Until the last days she’d score them with her wasp tongue.

Wasp Tongues

by Chaille Bos

This story is in response to the death of my grandmother. It was my way of working through the reality that I never knew the real her and never had a chance to, and yet I found myself in a part of her nonetheless. - Chaille Bos.

Chaille Bos has published microfiction, narrative nonfiction and pop culture articles. As well as writing her own crime and speculative fiction novels, she is a ghostwriter and co-writer.
