    Summary

    “Do you think Till baby likes the food?” Ivan asks.

    Till wears a look of abject horror. “Please don’t call it that.”

    “I should kill myself if he doesn’t.”

    “This can’t be real,” Till whispers, face in his hands.

    Something is happening here. It cannot be acknowledged out loud lest it play a role equivalent to a flammable gas leak.

    Summary

    Often, Sua suspects that aliens consider her no different from one of the dolls bearing her appearance that her mother releases every once in a while. All smooth limbs and flexible joints. Lacking any curves or complications. Hard and plain underneath the suggestive fabric, unable to feel or fulfill any carnal need, although surely, the aliens must find a way.

    But the stiff plastic tongues of the dolls cannot lap someone else's saliva as Sua's tongue is doing, sucking on the sticky nectar coating Mizi's gums. Their flat chests, permanently fused with the white frills of the miniature dresses they are wearing, cannot perk up when squeezed by the hand of another girl. Most importantly, the place between their legs, lacking the outline of genitals, devoid of any desperation or craving, cannot grow squeamishly wet as Sua feels herself do, with every stroke of Mizi's tongue.

    (Or: Sua turns 21. She and Mizi do their best to celebrate this passage of time.)

    Summary

    Initially, your ghost may still be dressed in the well-ironed suit from the day of their burial, with a few specks of dirt here and there. You might have imagined him dressed like this in a different setting. A dance or a wedding. You placing his hand in someone else's, giving him away. Giving him away, you say, as if he were ever yours. Still, you would have liked to do your part, telling the story about the flower crowns, smiling in all the right places. He, soft-eyed in the crowd, hair parted to the side. Looking every bit like someone's handsome, loving son.

    In the end, when you gave him away, he still looked as handsome. Perhaps it is a good thing that best man speeches can be made into eulogies with only a few edits.

    (Or: There is a ghost at Ivan's doorstep, and it has a familiar face.)

    Summary

    One day Sua looked at Mizi, pink hair getting in her eyes as she giggled about something she’d just said, and realized that losing her would be more devastating than getting shattered to never be put whole again.

    There’s no meaning to her existence, no reason for her to keep on living if Mizi is no longer there with her. What use is a doll without an owner? If nobody is there to marvel at its beauty, at the fine way she was sculpted, what is it if not a dust-covered ornament?

    Sua has always been prone to breaking.

    Summary

    At eight years of age, Ivan had bet that Till couldn’t spin around thirty times without stopping. Naturally, Till had set out to prove him wrong. On his twenty-second spin, he had collapsed onto the ground, sweat pooling under his arms, lightheaded.

    Grief, he realizes, is the same. He keeps rotating on a single axis, watching the world pass by around him, but his feet remain rooted to the same spot. The condensation on the shower wall that looks like raindrops, blueprints circled in red marker, the jiggly bread pudding served at dinner, the kisses shared between rebels his age at the bar, and even the stars twinkling through the haze of clouds. No matter where he goes, all the distance travelled only leads him back here again.

    Till supposes not all of them make it to twenty-three. Not him. Not Ivan.

    (Or: A year and a half after the final round of Alien Stage, Till learns how to grow anemones at the rebel base. Remembering Ivan happens somewhere in between)
