Synopsis: | Ruby was magic. At aged 4, she discovered she spoke twelve languages. Her favourite game was to ring people in other countries, and find out what their hobbies were. . . At 12, Ruby found she could clone herself as she saw fit. In her first school photo, she took up eight of the twenty-one seats. . . Ruby Bruised could see through walls. By the time she was 16, she had seen her parents have sex over a thousand times. . . At 18, Ruby discovered jealousy and decided she wanted what everyone else had. For one day in June, she possessed all the world's sickness. . . At 22, Ruby found a magic lamp, and rubbed it. The genie that came out saw her and all her power - and he told her what he wished for. . . At 27, Ruby Bruised completed the life-long construction of a metal skin, borne from an early desire to protect an aching heart. On its debut wearing, her boyfriend dumped her. By the following morning, her cheeks had rusted. . . At 30, Ruby Bruised lost her reflection. No one noticed. . . At 34, Ruby Bruise told herself the truth - and all her powers were gone. . .. . . Come meet Ruby. | |||||
