I've always been the youngest in my family and I've always wished for a younger sibling. Well, when I was about twelve and a half, I was told the greatest news of my life and about a month later, the worst. The younger sibling I've always wanted was a very real thing, until all of a sudden, it wasn't. My mom wasn't far enough along to know the gender, so we had taken to calling the baby Casper, because like a ghost yelling "boo", this baby came as a surprise. I see it as fitting to keep as a name of reference, because like a ghost, the baby was gone without a trace. These are letters to my little brother or sister that I never got to meet. Writing these is my way of coping, because I recently came to the discovery that I never did cope, but rather just ignored it and put it in my past. Not a recommended coping mechanism btw.

I had met her a few times when I was younger. I had never been close to her and until a couple of weeks ago I had completely forgotten about her. After a massive funeral, my mom announced she was going to be staying with us until graduation. There's something about her. The way she speaks, the way she walks, even the way she eats. My parents are smitten by her formalities and highly educated manners. I, on the other hand, am not impressed. There is no way my cousin Marty is the image of perfection everyone thinks she is and I'm going to figure out what she's hiding. SHORT STORY. ONE OF A TRILOGY MINISERIES BOOK ONE: MY COUSIN MARTY BOOK TWO: ALPHA MARTY BOOK THREE: MARTAK'S DAUGHTER
