“They were enraged in their early teens. Vienna does not know where her own body ends and Florence’s begins—the seams of their fusion are messy that way. They starved for the world and ate each other when hungry, until they were pulled apart and Nana asked, “Who will you have when I am dead?” And so, they were meant to learn to eat other things, to do things other than self-cannibalize. Vienna learned. But Florence had developed a taste, and she is invariable. She will never stop cutting her teeth on family flesh and her own bones. She stands in the foyer of Vienna’s house not because she is invited but because she is hungry.”
