Today’s Mixed Bag is a fictional short story that includes self-harm, an eating disorder and panic attack. Please be careful reading. I answered my phone in the early hours of the evening. The sun was settling into the horizon but not quite down–the house was quiet, the other girls in their rooms or still at work, too early for anyone to be making dinner. Our tan couch was comfortable if not pretty, sat in a big upstairs family room with bedrooms on all sides.
This is heartbreaking. I know it’s fictional, but I can hear how it tells the truth.
