My younger sister died first. Then my parents were desperate to save me, so they started giving me their food. That’s when I started stealing.

He didn’t interrupt. “They threw him into a well,” I continued. “Left him there to die.” Drake’s grip on the book tightened slightly. “He didn’t die,” I added.

It was Friday afternoon when Madiha visited her parents but found no one was at home except Iman, who was reading a book in the lawn. Seeing Madiha made Iman happy as she put her book down on the table and took off her reading specs. "When did you come?" Getting up, Iman hugged Madiha and asked. "I was missing everyone here, so Zamin dropped me." "Where is he?" Iman looked behind Madiha, expecting Zamin there, but when she found no one, she turned to Madiha and asked.

Tyler reward me with a small smile probably to comfort me, but he could be lying. I stood in front of the door alone, contemplating if I should push the doors open again and again.

Each night grew colder. Each morning, darker. And then, on the eleventh day, just as the book had warned, we reached it. The horses slowed, snorting uneasily.

She crossed the street slow, the way you do when you’re not sure if the ground beneath your feet is still yours. Her old apartment building loomed like a ghost at the end of the block. Five floors of faded brick and boarded-up windows. The place looked gutted. Hollow. Like it, too, had been doing time in its own way. She didn’t go inside.

Meekey climbed the stoop and knocked. Twice. Then waited.

He looks at it like it is covered in something he can never wash off. "I didn't know," he says. His voice is a broken plea. "Graziella... I didn't know." "You didn't want to know," I say. "You wanted a debt. You wanted a toy. You didn't look close enough to see the family resemblance." I walk to the book. I pick it up. I dust it off. "I am not a thief, Aureliano," I say softly.

The cover was dusty, the pages yellowed from how old the book seemed. He flipped through it frantically, his heart hammering against his ribs, until he found what he was looking for.
