Vella is shaking, and so is her mom. Her mom is in an
advanced state of Parkinson's, and Vella, not quite forty, fears that she is on
her way toward the same. Meanwhile, she works trying to sell subscriptions to a
theater, thinking back on a past in which she was sort of an actress, a past in
which she might have had love, and trying to piece together what little of life
might remain for her in the future. Settle for an alcoholic boyfriend? Sing for
a convalescent home? Her mom's boyfriend seems to be doing much the same,
clinging on to the memory of her mom more that the sick woman herself. Read the
story here at Baltimore Review.
