We All Sleep In The Same Room (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
“Oh no. Baby...” I turn over and see Raina carting Ben out of the room. It’s wet beneath my hand. The scent of urine. 5:32 a.m. I’m awake. And I feel remarkably good. To evade the puddles Ben has left on Raina’s side, I slither, crab-like, down the length of the bed as if her body were still lying there. I pull off our blanket and wrench the sheets and the pillowcases. Ben’s bed is damp and I strip it too. I gather everything, stuff it into a laundry bag, and go about making the beds with fresh sheets, tucking them in hospital corners the way my dad taught me. He learned in the army. I prop Elmo up next to Ben’s pillow. I expect to find Ben soaking in a bath, but he’s kneeling on the bathmat in his little robe, already squeaky clean, hair parted, babbling nonsensically and directing an interaction between a pirate and a dolphin on the lip of the tub while watching his mother shower through a part in the curtain.
