How many people are in YOUR family photographs?
Emma Sullivan counted five people in the family photograph. Two parents. Two twins, six years old. And standing between them, a head taller than both — a fourth child. A boy of fourteen, whose face had been scratched out until the paper underneath tore. The Harlows had two children. They had only ever had two.
The twins called him Brother. They said he stands in the corner by the bookshelf until they fall asleep — and that Emma has to put him to bed too. Pull his blanket down, say his name, say goodnight. If she doesn't, his face gets worse. But nobody is allowed to know his name. Only Mommy and Daddy know it. And the wall.
By the end of this story, you will know what counting cost her — and why the boy in the photograph is standing in Emma's house now.
