Chapter 4
The next day was the first Art Day of the year. Every Wednesday, they would either start a new project or complete an old one. Today, they were given a free choice of coloring any picture they wanted.
Now, they were sharing what they'd drawn.
One girl had a lopsided pink and purple horse. At least, it looked like a horse.
Another had made a picture of her dog. Apparently, her dog was blue and green.
Michelle went up, paper in hand. "This is my picture," she said, holding it up. Krista gasped. It was an intricately detailed drawing…of a severed hand. "It's my grandfather's hand after Mommy cut it off with her special sword."
Horrified, Krista quickly ushered her back to her seat, placing the drawing in a desk drawer.
"All right," she said shakily. "Who next?"
Ella raised her hand, smiling brightly, and Krista caught sight of her picture.
It was a drawing of a dissected lung.
