THE ROOM WHERE SILENCE SCREAMS
The silence didn’t mean nothing happened.
It meant everything was hidden.
Behind a fake wall.
Under a school.
Inside a room no child was supposed to remember.

Her brother, the perfect child.
The high-heeled shoes that her brother had designed.
It wasn’t empty. It never had been.
