Stole My Sight, Lived My Life
I have a congenital heart defect, and the doctors say I won't make it past 18.
When I am ten, my parents bring home a blind child, saying she is my twin sister, Everly Wallace.
My family spoils me rotten, but they treat Everly like a ghost.
Everyone says Everly exists only to give me her heart.
I try so hard to be good to this sister who shares my face, desperate to ease my guilt.
When I reach 18, I lie on the operating table.
Except they don't take my heart. They take my corneas.
I die after that, while Everly finally sees the light.
