PAPA TAKES AWAY THE BOX AND SETS IT ON THE TABLE.

“When we cannot obey authority, what must happen?”

“We must be punished. So we can learn to be better.”

“And why does Papa want you to be better?”

“Because I belong to you,” she whispers. “And because you love me.”

Papa picks her up then. Around the waist, like a sack, arms and legs dangling from her pink dress.

“No, Papa,” she whispers.

“When you disobey, the punishment comes next. When you obey, you receive your reward. This is simple. It is fair.”

And now the door is coming. The little door with the dark behind it. Where things rustle. Where there’s no air.

“Please, Papa! Please!”

It’s coming, and its mouth is open, and the strong arms push her inside it.

And the darkness swallows her.
