approximately ten lockers. They are small, torn and rusted in some areas. Cobwebs hang onto them like accessories. I can see why Flynn might find an interest in these lockers; they are exactly like his own house.

According to the instructions on the tag, I find a locker with the number โ€œ2โ€ written in big, bold writing. My key fits into the lock perfectly. I am more unsettled by Flynnโ€™s uncanny knowledge of those around him. As I twist it, anticipation builds up within me โ€“along with a pre-satisfaction, a bubbling excitement of finally unravelling a mystery.

Inside, there is a single piece of paper. Itโ€™s slightly rumpled and contains a horrible mixture of colours. What is this? I think, turning the paper over and examining it. My eyes widen. Itโ€™s a drawing by a child, a terribly drawn picture with two stick-figures; one standing upright, and the other lying on the floor, little crosses acting as eyes. Splashes of unevenly spread red cover the ground. Blood.

โ€œSheโ€™s awfully odd,โ€ Mum says to Dad, holding my hand. I hear her every word, even though Iโ€™m barely at her waist. โ€œIโ€™ve never met anybody who doesnโ€™t have quirks, but sheโ€™s soโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDifferent.โ€

โ€œI was going to say strange.โ€ She gives me a wide, condescending smile as I hand a crayon to her. Then she turns back to her husband, still miserably bad at whispering. โ€œThey were asking students what they wanted to be. All the students said normal things โ€“doctors, astronauts, detectives, nursesโ€“ but sheโ€ฆ she drew this.โ€

My father doesnโ€™t say anything. He keeps walking. And just when I think the conversation has ended, that he wonโ€™t contribute anything more, he says:

โ€œShe wonโ€™t ever be normal; nobody would be, with a past like hers.โ€ He reaches over to ruffles my hair. โ€œBut we love her anyway.โ€
