Because
my
tongue
kept
getting
in
my
way
,
my
voice
came
out
of
my
throat
differently
,
with
a
thick
whining
tone
,
as
I
might
have
spoken
a
long
time
ago
.
"
Don
t
go
away
,
"
I
begged
.
"
Don
t
run
away
from
me
.
"
But
she
had
gone
inside
the
vestibule
and
locked
the
door
.
A
moment
later
I
could
see
her
peering
at
me
from
behind
the
sheer
white
curtain
of
the
door
window
,
her
eyes
terrified
.
Behind
the
window
her
lips
moved
sound
­
lessly
.
"
Go
away
!
Leave
me
alone
!
"

Why
?
"
Who
was
she
to
deny
me
this
way
?
By
what
right
did
she
turn
away
from
me
?
"
Let
me
in
!
I
want
to
talk
to
you
!
Let
me
in
!
"
I
banged
on
the
door
against
the
glass
so
hard
it
cracked
,
and
the
crack
spread
a
web
that
caught
my
skin
for
a
moment
and
held
it
fast
.
She
must
have
draught
I
was
out
of
my
mind
and
had
come
to
harm
her
.
She
let
go
of
the
outer
door
and
fled
down
the
hallway
that
led
into
the
apartment
.
I
pushed
again
.
The
hook
gave
way
and
,
unprepared
for
the
sudden
yielding
,
I
fell
into
the
vestibule
,
off
bal
­
ance
.
My
hand
was
bleeding
from
the
glass
I
had
broken
,
and
not
knowing
what
else
to
do
,
I
put
my
hand
into
my
pocket
to
prevent
the
blood
from
staining
her
freshly
scrubbed
linoleum
.
I
started
in
,
past
the
stairs
I
had
seen
so
often
in
my
nightmares
.
I
had
often
been
pursued
up
that
long
,
narrow
staircase
by
demons
who
grabbed
at
my
legs
and
pulled
me
down
into
the
cellar
below
,
while
I
tried
to
scream
without
voice
,
strangling
on
my
tongue
and
gagging
in
silence
.
Like
the
silent
boys
at
Warren
.

The
people
who
lived
on
the
second
floor
our
land
­
lord
and
landlady
,
the
Meyers
had
always
been
kind
to
me
.
They
gave
me
sweets
and
let
me
come
to
sit
in
their
kitchen
and
play
with
their
dog
.
I
wanted
to
see
them
,
but
without
being
told
I
knew
they
were
gone
and
dead
and
that
strangers
lived
upstairs
.
That
path
was
now
closed
to
me
forever
.
At
the
end
of
the
hallway
,
the
door
through
which
Rose
had
fled
was
locked
,
and
for
a
moment
I
stood
undecided
.
