The day Harriet returned I was in bed. Surrounded by my daughter and sons, talking to me.

We stared at her, i gave her a small, encouraging smile. She looked to the side of me, lost in her own world.

“When i was around eleven years old, a man came to my house to kill my parents.” She paused.

“Only they weren’t in the house. The man broke down the door to my bedroom and pointed his gun at me. When he saw me in the corner, he kneeled down in front of me.” I felt my gut twist, I couldn’t ...
