IN ABSENTIA

by Jacinta Legge-Wilkinson

It is 1975 and Nick is dead. The favourite son of Brenda and Neil. The family has suppressed all emotional response at losing him through suicide two years earlier. On this night all suppressed emotion will erupt, provoked by the arrival of Christina's date, Edward. Edward bears a scant physical resemblance to Nick, triggering memories and feelings in Brenda about her dead son.
