Half a World Away
“The pavement was cracked and the playground was old and rusty. There were electrical wires hanging down. A pool had been installed, but it was empty and Jaden saw there was no drain. Cats roamed the grounds.
Jaden had never really paid much attention to young kids before. Some of the ones here were cute. But some of them seemed untamed, like animals in a forest, running into one another and grunting instead of talking.
One little boy with a severe case of bedhead trotted up to Jaden and... made some grunting noises. They weren’t grunts exactly. Jaden wasn’t sure what they were. He’d never heard such noises coming from a person. They were kind of moans mixed with grunts and growls and occasional mumbles. The boy waved his arms in the air, as if trying to make Jaden understand something. He was an extremely beautiful boy, with huge slanting eyes and long, thick black hair, while the other boys had shorter hair. The kid’s skin almost glowed.MoreLess
