The overhead porch light flickers and hums, casting a harsh glow as the front door creaks open to reveal a scene of wild, uninhibited innocence. Three girls, ranging from nine to eleven years old, crowd the threshold. Two are clad only in skimpy swimwear; the youngest is entirely bare, her skin pale in the lamplight. They gaze up at the stunned delivery man with wide, amicable grins, their feral lack of social grace on full display as they effectively block the entrance with their small bodies.
