His twin brother sleeps in the bunk below him. I can only distinguish Beckett’s dark wavy brown hair, almost curly and shaggy. On the second top bunk lies eight-year-old Eliot Alice Cobalt. He shares his pillow with worn paperbacks of Shakespearian tragedies and comedies. His younger brother, only eleven months difference between them, sleeps below. Tom Carraway Cobalt has his quilt pulled over his head, blocking out the world.
