SARAH

I NEVER SAW HIM again after that, after the burns. And she said, “Things are gonna change around here.” And she meant it too. Things did change. First she put a special lotion on my back where he burned me. Those round dots got better in two or three days and I could even sleep on my back again after a week, with no bandages.

When it was a little bit better, she put me into the tub and washed me all over, telling me she was so sorry he had ever touched me but she was washing it off now. “It’s like it never happened, okay? This soap is magic and washes away bad men like him.” I believed her.

My hair hadn’t been washed in a long, long time and I had sores on my head so she had to put on some special shampoo and comb it out. That hurt almost worse than the burns. I felt like big chunks of my head were coming off.

“Let’s do this in front of the TV,” she said, and let me wrap up in her robe. It was white and fluffy and sizes too big for me, like a huge marshmallow. I sat on the floor while she sat on the couch with the special comb and we watched an old movie as she worked on my hair. It hurt, but I liked being out of the room and watching a movie about a funny little man with a bushy mustache, even if it was in black and white.
