You’ve got a goddamn bug today—you know that? What the hell’s the matter with you anyway?”
Franny quickly tipped her cigarette ash, then brought the ashtray an inch closer to her side of the table. “I’m sorry. I’m awful,” she said. “I’ve just felt so destructive all week. It’s awful. I’m horrible.

Dear Family,

I wish I had the chance to meet you. Mom says you were pretty handsome. We’re not even sure if you died or are still alive. At least I hope the two of you, my fourth and fifth uncles, found each other. Is it possible to miss someone who you’ve never met? Mommy misses you ever day. Grandmother and grandfather pray about you too. I love you.

RIP to all,
Emily
