Sell My Soul: A Story of escape and loss
language
( April 12, 2018)
The past has its claws in you. Run.
Thomas, William, and Jane journey out of certain danger into an unknown future. They wend their way through the foster care system, escaping a mother deep in debt to a terrifying new drug called Anima, that threatens to take away what little humanity she has left. In their flight from house to house, family to family, they search, never knowing whether to look forwards or backwards. Which is worse: the animals of their past or the afflictions of their future?
The author, a playwright and educator, wrote the piece to express some of the difficulties his own children went through in the foster care system, and to find a way to show their heroism and their struggles. William is no David Copperfield, but our world isn’t London circa 1850, either. William is a fictional narrator, but if you let him into your life for a little while, you won't forget him or Thomas or Jane: you can see them everywhere if you keep your eyes and heart open.
