EXCERPT
She heard a flurry of steps run across the graveyard as stones flicked off the
ground and crushed, dried-out weeds propelled into the air. Tiny steps that she
had encountered once before—in Hartley. Was it Little Charlie?
Then another ominous sound. Children laughing and giggling while the faint sound
of a circus tune played in the background. Da, da, da, da, da …
She immediately turned around to find four children, each one standing next to
an unmarked grave.
One little girl, no more than ten years old, with a black ponytail, knee-high
cotton socks, and a white frilled dress, played with her hula hoop. She swung it
around in motion and with the equilibrium of an expert. She smiled as her, dark
eyes with thick, black eyeliner resonating toward Clarisse.
Next to her was a young boy, no more than eight years old, playing hopscotch
between two graves. His knee-length shorts, long socks, and blood-stained shirt,
held up by suspenders, were ragged and worn out. He looked like he had been in a
terrible accident and dragged across the ground, oblivious to any pain. While
playing hopscotch, he balanced three small balls in the air like a juggler,
quite a trick and well-coordinated.
Next to him was Little Charlie, sitting on a gravestone with his rope lassoed
and legs crossed. He swung his lasso repeatedly and flung it toward an empty can
as his target. He liked showing off his prowess to Clarisse, even though he
couldn’t say any words, throwing his hands up in the air each time he conquered
his target.
Another girl, albeit younger than the first, stood behind Little Charlie on an
unmarked grave. She was wearing a crimson dress with frills and brown,
country-style boots. Her dress was tainted red in parts from bloodstains, and
her face was white as snow. It accentuated the eyeliner around her black eyes
and sculptured face. She tilted her head slightly to the side as her red hair
was tossed around in the slight breeze while holding a Raggedy Ann doll next to
her face. She looked directly at Clarisse, smiling while caressing the doll.
The Raggedy Ann doll smiled one thoughtful expression, blinked its right eye two
times rapidly, and then nodded before going back to its original posture.
