Headshot

by Rita Bullwinkel

Rachel Doricko was one child of many siblings and had the firm belief that there was nothing she could do to be significant to the world and that, win or lose, time would roll forward marked by arbitrary increments, and that was the only real thing she knew mattered and that she knew for sure. Whereas, Kate Heffer looked at her life and what lay before her and she allowed time and events to circle her, things occurring for the sole purpose that she could walk through them, be a part of them, and then move on. For Kate, time was a thing that existed only to have her in it. Kate was a goal setter. She made detailed lists and kept highly organized folders. She will become an event planner, making twenty weddings happen a summer, delighted by the fact that she has bent time to her will, orchestrated the event, and then the event has taken place. Because of this, this match will be a series of events gone wrong for Kate, things she thought she could control but that get thrown back in her face. Rachel Doricko will take Kate Heffer’s movements, one hit at a time, and pull them into herself and then spit them back out, better articulated and better made.
