Near the Bone by Christina Henry (the mitten read aloud txt) 📕

“Miss? Are you all right?” he said, hurrying around the desk.

“Yes,” she said. “But my friend needs a doctor.”

My friend, she thought. I have a friend. And somewhere, I have a sister. I’m not alone.

“Please,” she said. “Please help him.”

“We’ll help him, don’t worry,” he said. He lifted a radio to his mouth and said several things that Mattie didn’t really pay attention to. “What’s your name?”

She took a deep breath, felt the years fall away.

“Samantha. My name is Samantha.”
