Sibling 9 is almost normal.
This sibling did well throughout school, became licensed for scuba diving and rock climbing before graduating from high school, and attended university. This sibling is going to school to become a fire fighter in a large city. This sibling gets decent grades, is involved in student groups, holds a steady job working at the university library, and has a clear goal in life (without delusions of granduer). This sibling is also good looking, funny, intelligent, and acts appropriately in public.
Yep, doing well so far.
One would think this sibling can qualify among the successful siblings in the family; this would be true, if not for one small detail.
This sibling is dating an arsonist.
So close!
And yet so very, very, very far away.
Really! Sibling 9 couldn’t pick ANY other downfall! Sibling 9 couldn’t date a liar, a thief, someone who creeply stared you in the eyes without blinking every time you spoke…
Anything else! Nope. The firefighter in training chooses the arsonist as a perfect match. *Sigh*
Who on earth would be a good alter-ego? Can anyone tell me? ‘Cause I certainly don’t have a clue.
