A current of raw fear charges the kitchen air. Tom is a flurry of frantic motion, his gestures sharp and desperate as he points to the floor. There, amidst the ordinary domestic clutter, sits Tord.

He coos happily to himself, his small, trusting fingers wrapped firmly around the cold metal of a handgun. The moment hangs, a perfect collision of utter innocence and lethal consequence.
