Of Stolen Objects & Places by Jennifer Fliss My mom kept spices in unused urine specimen cups she’d filched from her job at the hospital.

Brilliant new work from @jenniferfliss.bsky.social!!
"Of Stolen Objects & Places" is live today at @fivesouth.bsky.social.

This story digs deep and hits hard. It will take you from laughter, through darkness, and into the light of hope.
