Rivka started up the stairs, but then remembered she needed some staples to refill her stapler. Her father kept all the supplies in his desk in the small alcove off the living room. She retraced her steps and felt her way across the darkened room. She stubbed her toe against her mother’s wing chair, and stopped for a moment to rub her foot. She could hear her mother and Aunt Ruth moving around overhead and the bed squeaking as her mother tucked in the sheets.

Rivka felt around until she found the chain on her father’s desk lamp. She pulled it, and a puddle of light slanted across the center of the desk. She was about to open the right hand drawer when she noticed a folder sitting out with the name “Ruth Weiss” printed on the tab in her father’s neat, careful lettering.

Curious, Rivka eased it open. Would she find the answer to Aunt Ruth’s craziness somewhere inside? She flipped through the papers, glancing over her shoulder quickly whenever the floor creaked or a shadow moved.

They appeared to be legal papers of some sort—long pages black with dense, gothic-looking type. Rivka was about to close the file when something caught her eye. She followed the words carefully, running her finger down the page.

It couldn’t be. She read the paragraphs again. There were a lot of legal terms she didn’t understand, but the meaning was still clear.

She closed the file and made sure she put it back in exactly the same spot on her father’s desk. Her heart beat extra fast, and her head swam.

If what she read was true, then everything she had ever thought or known was a lie.
