The wind whipped around Maya, carrying with it the scent of freshly cut grass and the ghost of burnt toast. Her legs felt heavy as concrete. She clutched her favorite stuffed bear, its worn fur a comforting texture against her cheek. She was afraid to look away from the house.

She closed her eyes, remembering her father, his arms wrapped around her. She wished she could be protected.

The sound of the machine starting up jolted her. She wanted to scream. She had nowhere else to go.
