The Labyrinth of Children
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Belle had been perched up in her treehouse every night for the past three weeks for this moment, for any single thing to catch her eye–and her moment had come. Anyone who would have seen the girl from afar would have thought nothing of her, as slight and bruised as she was, stepping away from the telescope she got for her 11th birthday. She clamored down the broken ladder of her treehouse and into the thick of the heat, the night breeze not enough to shake the humidity that clung to her skin as she began to run.
