Marksley did not stand like a servant. His back was too straight, and though his shoulders remained slouched, there was a certain tenseness there that never appeared with the male servants she interacted with both at Isidore and at the palace. His feet were positioned just so that he would be able to stand completely still without locking his knees, his weight displaced equally between his feet and his arms behind his back.

Marksley did not stand like a servant. He stood like Leda before she adjusted to her new position. He stood like the guards that watched over her at the Manor. He stood like her mother, in some odd way, though Titania’s stance never looked as rigid and uniform as the rest of them.

He stood like a soldier.

HELIUM THROAT: A SHORT STORY

a bitter story exploring loss, trauma and healing gone wrong.

GENRE: literary fiction.

POV + TENSE: first-person referral, retrospective.

SETTING: a fictional commune, unspecified time period.

TONE: bitter, sharp, resentful, lonely.

STAGE: completed first draft, 2769 words.

LOGLINE: years after her childhood and its horrors, angry, resentful emily writes a letter to her dead sister— the one whom she sees as the cause of her trauma— in an attempt to come to terms with how horribly wrong her life is now.

LITERAL LOGLINE: when you decide to scream into the void as a substitute for therapy except surprise! it doesn’t help.

CHARACTERS:

our first-person, extremely unhinged narrator. she’s a very bitter woman and is someone with nothing to live for, the way she sees it. a lot of her apathy + the disarrayed state of her life and mind was a direct cause of her childhood trauma and the unhealthy coping mechanisms that followed said trauma. she’s perpetually angry at her younger self and is overly conflicted towards her feelings towards her family, mainly her sister.

emily’s older sister. she was a role model for her when they were kids, and emily used to worship her. she was a loving and emotional person, and was very reckless— and rebellious— with a streak of massive unchecked anger [directed mostly at her father]. emily doesn’t recall much about her anymore, due to how young she’d been when lilee had died.
