“The smell of dry earth, opening to the rain in the spring. It unlocked me like a key. Once upon a time, Emmeline. "Petrichor," Rene said. "The word comes from petra, which means stones, and ichor, the ethereal blood of the Greek gods. Plants release an oil that stops their seeds from germinating when it would be too difficult to survive. The oil soaks into the pores of the stones, and is set free with water. They say it's the smell of waiting, paid off.”

ABOUT 'CONSEQUENCES'
A series of six 1/1s by Rocketgirl, CONSEQUENCES is an evocation of past lovers, forgotten encounters and the transience of memory and longing. It is the whisper of loss, the bitterness of regret and the nameless love abandoned to the winds of time. Sister collection to THE NAMELESS editions series.
