Perhaps She Would Be a Pterodactyl
Excerpt of memoir: When I was five-fingers old, I had a dinosaur egg. It was an opal-hued stone without the luster, serene as satin. At night I tucked her into my armpit and hoped that if I loved her enough, she would hatch. While gone, I kept her warm within a dresser drawer and left a feast of Hershey kisses with their crinkly peaks glistening.
