"Emily", she cried, the sound rising dangerously high, causing the dog on the ground floor to bark.

  Soon the whole assembly came running,

  Brother, father and even Jouflu. Yet they could do nothing.

  The despaired mother had long fainted.

  In front of them, a scene leaving them devastated.

  Their youngest, the rope around the neck, and feet above the ground.

  Frederic the eldest hastened to free her body unsound.

  Luc, the father struggled with his sudden heart disorder.

  Jouflu, the dog, was licking his mistress's mother.

  And coming with blaring sirens are the ambulances.

  Soon Emily, in a room of agonizing whiteness.

  Outside, the family is suffering the crisis.

  Poor Dublins. The week before they were already burying Ellie, Emily's sister.

  At sixteen, drugs are addictive.

  Cigarettes no better and alcohol destructive.

  Yet what else to turn to with a drifting family?

  A forever absent father, a way too carefree mothe?

  Then came the accident, which separated the two confidants.

  The survivor sank and slowly died.

  Frederick, despite his best efforts, in an invisible spell he seemed to hide.

  But suicide was far from the solution.

  She could not see, the hand that was stretched out to her.

  Under the doctor's treatment, the life was saved.

  A new chance then must be paved.

  The model family no longer exists.

  Only the pieces to be stuck together remains.

  As long as the heart was still beating, the family could keep existing

  And maybe in the end stopped existing and started living!
