Excerpt: "The Virgin Suicides"
from courtesy of Time Warner Bookmark
by Jeffrey EugenidesTime Warner Books1993

On the morning the last Lisbon daughter took her turn

at suicide-it was Mary this time, and sleeping pills, like

Therese-the two paramedics arrived at the

house knowing exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven,

and the beam in the basement from which it was possible to tie a

rope. They got out of the EMS truck, as usual moving much

too slowly in our opinion, and the fat one said under his breath,

"This ain't TV, folks, this is how fast we go." He was carrying the

heavy respirator and cardiac unit past the bushes that had grown

monstrous and over the erupting lawn, tame and

immaculate thirteen months earlier when the trouble began.

Cecilia, the youngest, only

thirteen, had gone first, slitting her wrists like a

Stoic while taking a

bath, and when they found her, afloat in her pink pool,

with the yellow eyes of someone possessed and

her small body giving off the odor of a mature

woman, the paramedics had been so

frightened by her tranquillity that they

had stood mesmerized. But then Mrs. Lisbon lunged in,

screaming, and the reality of the room reasserted itself:

blood on the bath mat;

Mr. Lisbon's razor sunk in the toilet bowl, marbling the water.

The paramedics fetched Cecilia out of the warm water because it

quickened the bleeding, and put a tourniquet on her arm.

Her wet hair hung down her back and already her

extremities were blue.

She didn't say a word, but when they parted her hands they

found the laminated picture of the Virgin Mary she held

against her budding chest.That was in

June, fish-fly season, when each year our town is covered

by the flotsam of those ephemeral insects.
