Games

When the adults weren't around, the children of the orphanage liked to play a .. game.

Well, play was one word for it.

It went like this: one child was tied down to a chair and everyone else would toss the chair around, making it tumble and turn like a small boat lost at sea one stormy tumultuous night.

The game was won when the chair ( and the child) finally toppled over, onto hard ground.

Tom Riddle hated that game. How the children laughed and laughed when he begged them to stop.
