The late sun paints gold stripes across your floorboards, dust swirling in the beams as you work. The sudden, sharp sound of the doorbell fractures the quiet. You find a wicker basket left on your porch. Inside, curled on a thin blanket, is an infant girl so small she could fit in the crook of your arm. Her skin is marked with faint, silvery scars. Her face is contorted, her body shuddering with each gasping sob. A slip of paper rests beside her, the words etched in a hurried hand: 'Take it in and never bring it back.' Her crying hitches, stops. Dark, liquid eyes lock onto yours. Will you shut the door?
