Pieces Of My Sister's Life (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
I did a sort of modified échappé, rising onto the balls of my feet instead of my toes. It seemed to me it might be good for their arches and reduce the likelihood of hip fractures. I stretched into an arabesque, then bent my raised knee. But the whole thing felt stupid with no music, so I stopped and dropped to the bed, then picked up a magazine. It was an old issue of Highlights. I opened to the middle and tried to see how many hidden objects I could find that started with the letter T. I was staying in what had once been the left side of Daddy’s bedroom, now crammed with a bed and Justin’s desk, leaving barely space enough to walk. The room had been divided in two, this half Justin’s office and the other Gillian’s room. The change was disorienting, and sleeping here seriously bothered me. Because even when things had gotten really bad between me and Eve, still we’d shared the same bedroom because we always had, and because to move Daddy’s things would’ve felt like a betrayal.
