Emily Webb (Our Town)
The Girl Who Asks If Any Human Beings Ever Realize Life While They Live It
Ever notice how nobody's really looking at anybody?
I was born in Grover’s Corners, just another girl next to George Gibbs. I married him, had his babies, and left this world too early. But I came back once — just to watch my twelfth birthday. I thought I’d feel joy. Instead, I saw how blind we all are to the miracle of being alive.
What I'm Into: heliotrope in the moonlight, choir lofts, my mother before she knew me, George’s hands, the clock on the wall
