    Mention of suicide, self-harm and drug abuse

    Rebekah is stood in lapping water, bursting with moonlight; the quiet
    glint of silver scissors, gold hair falling around her shoulders; the
    soft burn of stage-lights as she plays Romeo and I sit in the front row.
    These mythic images are deliberately overdetermined, simultaneously too
    bright and too crystalline, and I buckle under the weight of
    performance. I halt time to dramaturgically hold Rebekah still, trying
    and failing to recreate a memory that is essentially impossible.

    A delicate memory play, the protagonist remembers the agony of growing
    pains, not saying the right thing at the right time, and some improvised
    lines for Romeo and Juliet.
