Inside The Lie

By Leah Florette

I opened my mouth and shut it abruptly. "You," she said, jabbing me in the chest. "You are special. Get that negative chatter out of your head, I don't want you to think you're not good enough for me. You are special. You are important. And I don't care if no one has loved you right, or if everyone mistreated you. Stop being such a debbie downer. Just listen to me." Az lives with his deaf sister, Valerie. He is convinced that she's wiser and stronger than he ever will be, and envies her for her calmness, her tranquility. One day, Az wakes up to find Valerie missing.
