She stands on the cliffs, near the old crumbling stone house.
There‘s nothing left in the house but an upturned table, a ladle, and a clay bowl. She stands for more than a hour, goose-bumped and shivering.

The lights hurt my eyes and Mommy is crying and not looking at me. I am on her hip, with Woof-Woof between us.
I am wearing my monkey pajamas.
