Playing Dead

Here are two short pieces.  “Lindsay Plays Dead” was originally published in Tiny-Lights, a Journal of Personal Narrative.  It describes the relationship between my older sister and me.   Sisters Lolly and Meg, loosely based on various memories I have from childhood, appear in several of my early reader short stories  — I actually wrote “Lolly Plays a Trick” first, then thought “Why don’t I write what really happened?”
