All Fall Down
“Now it hung down her back, heavy and wet. Her shirt clung to her skin, uncomfortable and damp in the house’s sterile and too-chilly air. Outside, the summer sun was just rising.

The diaper change took only a minute or so, and as Sunny put the wet diaper into the bucket to soak, she made a mental note to be sure to run a load of laundry later so Liesel wouldn’t have to.
