Helen Ivory, Waiting for Bluebeard; The Disappearing
TEXT ID: This time the door wasn't locked so she saw the room's plunder floating in the dark liquid of neatly labelled jars fingernails, tangles of hair, an unborn child. My skin hung from a wire hanger on the back of the door like a wedding dress emptied of its bride. It was too tight to climb into, so she left the house naked.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
