Circle of Five

by J. Isabel Salazar

There can only be 5 in the circle. 5. To live with, be with, make art with. Forever. Or until the apocalypse, which Mentor Leader promises is part of the creative process. It’s easy at first, but quickly Woman realizes the process is a lot more complicated. How do you choose? Who can you trust? Will there be enough glitter and glue?
