Abstract
In this complete short story, entitled "Life or Death," cousins Dee and Casey Larson think they know their family and the ones they love. They think they know what will happen next. They think everything is written in a script, their actions and choices set, their characters fleshed out. But when events begin to unfold that Dee and Casey had not counted on, they realize that nothing – their relationships, the past, and their senses of self – is as it seems.
