The woman was sitting at a dining table that seemed out of place in the large factory. When the detective asked her what happened, she told him everything she remembered, starting several years ago.

After explaining it all, she handed him a photo, saying, “This is what he died for.”

It was a crooked picture of walls and a ceiling. Barely visible at the bottom of the picture was the very top of two heads.

“I still don’t know what I look like,” she whispered. Then an idea flashed life back into her eyes. She looked up at the detective and asked, “Will you tell me? Am I like him?” She stole a glance at where the body still lay, now covered with a sheet.

The detective knew she had suffered years of trauma. He didn’t want to do anything that might excite or upset her, but he also didn’t want to lie to her.

He answered, “You’re as human as he was.”

Her eyes drifted away from his as she considered his belated answer.

It wasn’t a lie. There was only one difference between this woman and the one she called the father: his face had been painted to look like a human’s.
