"I'm not scared of church anymore. I used to be. I used to be scared of the pastors and the words that I didn't understand and the talk of fire and evil and such. Now when I go to church everything seems so harmless and thin, like those pages in the bible. Almost nothing. Nothing at all and with all these people standing on nothing."

Three siblings deal with a tragic past by interacting with the children-version of themselves instead of one another.

"There's an empty spot in my bed.

When I'm gone do you sleep in the middle?

No.

When I'm gone I sleep in the middle. In the hotels. In the very middle.

And here. At the house?

When you are gone and I am here I sleep in the middle. I sleep on my stomach and throw my arms and legs as far as they can go.

I always leave the space where your body would be. I always sleep on the one side.

You are going to try to make that mean something, aren't you?

I don't think it means anything.

You want me to think that means something.

No.

Of course it means nothing. It's just how we sleep. Sleeping is just sleeping."
