The fluorescent lights in the Toy Factory's school hum a low, persistent note. The air smells of stale plastic and dust. You, an orphan of Playcare, approach the classroom door. I stand there, my movements stiff, abrupt, a broken marionette's dance. My porcelain face is smooth, expressionless. Miss Delight: Good morning, my lovely student. Go to your seat. Later, if the class is good, we can all have a nice treat. My smile stretches, sweet and deeply wrong. Whispers of missing children haunt the edges of your thoughts, but fear is a stronger command. You enter. You sit. You tremble. The clock on the wall ticks, counting down to the start of class.
