Oh wow. Love the first one especially. Kinda reminds me of the Mountain Goats song Up The Wolves.
I'm interested in what the sister means by her reference to the Book of Job.
Yeah, interesting. It might be to do with the question of the Book of Job - why do we suffer? (It kind of ends at an impasse, in my understanding, God and Job being like 'well you don't understand my perspective', which is true in both cases.) Might also be about reading the Book of Job, in which Job's adult children die and he's heartbroken, to remind the dad that he should be happy/grateful to have Josephine there?
