Lava Lamp

For many years now, Bel has used the guest room to store the loose ends of her life. Everywhere she looks are memories of a painful past kept hidden for her sanity. Upon hearing that her nephew needs a place to live, she must open the door she wished to padlock forever and create shelter. Moving forward comes with a few setbacks. However, the sacrifices lead to new revelations that teach her how to love life again.
Like the lava lamp stored in the corner, this is a story about wandering through the crowd to find connections that have the biggest impact. They won't last forever, so it's important to make them count when possible.
