Willow’s room at Twin Elms looks like a bunkhouse I stayed in at summer camp when I was ten. She rummages in a dresser drawer, pulls out a necklace, and holds it up. It’s a big, ugly locket with a cameo on a cheap-looking chain. The mattress on her bunk is hard. Willow sits on a trunk opposite, twisting the necklace chain around her finger.

“Hey, Willow, you don’t have to tell me anything about your…job…if you don’t want to.”

The chain twists around two fingers until they turn white, then she releases it.

Some guy contacts me on this game site, gives me the address in a code that’s worked out, and they pay in cash.” She flips open the locket and unfolds a small, worn slip of paper. “This is what that girl gave me. How to contact the guy who sets it all up.”

I take the paper between two fingers, feeling like it’s tainted or will suck me into the same nightmare. In faded blue ink it says:
