Wilted Lavender

by Julia Finn

Alexander and Elizabeth were born in a manor. This manor overlooks vast swathes of Irish land, now soaked in blood from the War of Independence. They know very little outside than the isolation of the manor, besides its dying garden of lavender and violet. At night a ghostly figure dances in the rotting halls, in their late mother's robes. In a nearby town a girl returns from the war, but Caoimhe is not the same child people remember. Alexander and Caoimhe find a respite from loneliness in each other, and later a safety in queer identity and romance. But no one is safe while the manor towers over the land. And the lavender, wilts.
