Show Notes
I was an invisible teenage girl once. I was lucky to survive the situations I put myself in. I saw a story about teenage girls held captive for years, who escaped. And I wondered about those who didn’t live, but died, but were unable to move on. How being trapped in such a place would change someone. And from there, the narrator bloomed.
The key turns in the lock and you step inside. Until you, we have been adrift in waiting, silence heavy in our bones. Time passes slowly inside these walls, dressed in our plastic coffins. Your sister follows you inside and looks around.
“This isn’t a good place,” she says.
She’s right, but you’ll chalk it up to the way Connie’s always existed partially in the real world, and part in another place where everything is gauzy and insubstantial. You don’t even hear her, but it would have served you better if you had.
Hindsight can be a real bitch sometimes.
