My name is Salmon, like the fish.
First name; Susie
I was fourteen years old,
When I was murdered, on December 6, 1973
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections — sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent — that happened after I was gone.
And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.
The events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future.
The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life.
I wish you all a long and happy life.
The Lovely Bones
