One moment my brother is there ... then he is simply gone.
Something is taking the people.
No one knows who, and no one knows when.
They disappear ... in the middle of a sentence, while eating ... there's no pattern and no way of anticipating who's the next one to go.
Yet, life goes on.
When someone disappears, no one speaks of them again. Brothers ... sisters ... mothers. They can be there, and then the space they occupied moments before is empty as if they never were.
As Mother says: There is no safe place. Only time.
How much time? she is asked.
Less than we hoped.
It's not the answer her children want to hear.
From the Author:
This innocent, charming story tricks you into believing in family, trust, and the safety of the world around you. Then it twists, and nothing is safe ever again.
