Ms. Keller


The smell of burnt oatmeal and bacon woke me. I walk into my faded sunshine kitchen to find a girl sitting at the table with the other chair already pulled out for me.

Her thin frame and bright eyes remind me of a girl I must have known, sitting at my table dressed in rags. She gives me a small welcoming grin but all I can see is the door down the hall with the grimy numbers, 713.
