Family Rearrangements
At first the voice came only in my sleep. A few whispered
words, a mirthless tittering laugh. Soon it came to me in daylight, too. Questions,
usually. “Would you like to see her dead, butchered?” At first, I ignored the voice, tried to think
of something else.
But it became more insistent and I realised that it often
expressed things I wanted. It made murder, torture seem logical. Inevitable. And
he knew things. Things nobody should know.
He said they used to call him Jack.
He told me to start with my daughter. Rearrange her organs.
I did.
