The Lovely Bones

“That way of missing would mean that I had accepted that I would never be with them again.” 

Charlote

When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, “Don’t worry, Susie; he has a nice life. He’s trapped in a perfect world.”

 “If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”
