What was Lost.
Chapter Seven – 1981.
Alex could feel the girl watching her. She's about 10; going on 36, with loose dark curls, pale complexion and dark all seeing eyes.
"You must be Alex. Uncle Gene told Mum about you. I was listening."
Alex gives the girl a second look, one eyebrow raised.
"Were you supposed to be?"
"They didn't shut the door or lower their voices or go into the garden. They do that when they don't want me to hear what they're talking about."
The girl sits in Ray's chair.
"I'm Evelyn. Uncle Ray and Uncle Chris have taken my brothers to the park. Zack's 5 and Samuel hasn't even had his first birthday yet. Boys are boring."
Evelyn starts spinning in the chair.
"You'll make your self sick." Alex has had experience with this.
"I never get sick," Evelyn stops spinning about and stares at Alex, at something only she could see.
"Did it hurt? Only," Evelyn sighed, "Daddy said that he didn't see or feel the car."
A shiver ran down Alex's spine.
"I'm sorry, but did what hurt?"
Evelyn started spinning in the chair again.
"Getting shot?"
Finished, complete, the end.
