Things Slip Through
And that something is Timmy’s stuffed Thomas the Train.
Ellen Danvers stumbles to a halt, blinking. This is her. Without a doubt this is the missing Utica girl and here she is, standing at the edge of the Commons parking lot, barefoot, dressed in a sun-yellow nightdress, holding Timmy’s favorite stuffed toy, Thomas the Train, under her arm.
Ellen opens her mouth but nothing comes out.
And the little girl smiles and says, “I just hadda get his Thomas, so he won’t be lonesome no more. He’ll be happier now. An he’ll be seein you again, someday. Promise.”
