Late at night, I count down from the scar in my memory to where I am now, to where I will one day be. Four months today. In another six years and eight months, no part
of me will have touched any part of you. And then I think, I will be fully recovered. Re-covered. Sometimes while I count, I cry. Very briefly. It means nothing. I consider all the words I have access to and finally write ‘help’ and slip it under the door of the empty room, along with a blank page and a pen.

FRANKIE MURREY worked in the book retail sector for many years before becoming the coordinator of Open Book
Festival, which takes place every year in early September in Cape Town. In 2015, her work was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. She resigned from Open Book Festival at the end of 2019 and started her own company, FM Project Management. Through this company, she has since been curating or managing creative events and projects that align with her interests. She also returned to Open Book in 2022, a space she’d missed intensely.
Everyone Dies is her authorial debut.
