Resin

My name is Liv, and I am not dead. But everyone except my family is sure of the opposite.
My father made everyone believe I was dead. He told the police that I drowned in the ocean.
But I didn’t disappear – my father hid me in his workshop behind dusty boxes and things that had accumulated there for years. He says that this is the only way I can stay with my family.
This is the only way I can be safe.
And now I live here, in my own little fortress, and my life has stopped. Frozen, like an ant stuck in resin forever. But I am not afraid, for my little sister and brother are by my side. We are all dead. The truth is - I'm just pretending.
