SO FULL OF EMPTINESS WITHOUT HER? by Grace Royal
In 'So full of emptiness without her?' a girl discovers a true crime video has been made about her sister's murder. She reflects on her sister's death as she struggles to decide if she should watch it or not. What do you remember of the morning? the police woman had asked. Did you notice anything unusual in your sister’s behaviour? Did she say anything – anything at all – that might give us a clue as to where she is?
No, she was just normal. |
