ANNA

Images invade my drugged sleep, edging themselves closer to memories.

Snatches of the green T-shirt; the feel of it beneath small, sticky fingers. Those fingers gripped by another hand, guiding, urgent, as the carousel fades into the distance.

I clutch tightly to the mottled rainbow of string, a thread joining me to who I am. I strain to see the face of the person leading me, trying to force any other scrap of memory to rise to the surface. Where did we go when we left the park? Why did nobody stop us, or find me? Why didn’t I scream or try to run away?

Mamma keeps me off school for a week, and I allow her to, giving myself over to the illusion that I’m just sick, that all I need is for my mother to make me better. But I can’t fool myself forever.
