I gripped the rough, wool-stuffed arms of the new Raggedy Andy doll, my knuckles white as I stared at the newspaper’s grim headlines about the Bolsheviks advancing on Teheran. The scratchy rayon of my drop-waisted dress felt stifling in this summer heat, a poor comfort when the world seems to have a crush on chaos and war again.
Everything is rising; I nearly took a faint when the station man demanded **$0.30** just for a gallon of gas to get home. My hands shook as I adjusted my suffocating cloche hat, praying for a return to normalcy before these red shadows reach our own front doors.
