Target 84
“Falling down on the world like snow. Half of me is already on the ground, watching from below.”― Ashly Lorenzana None of the kids have names here. We are all numbers. We train physically day in and out but it’s not like gym class. It’s different. Harder. The rules are clear. Don’t do anything unless they tell you to. There are no school vacations. Ravenbrook doesn’t feel like a school at all. We don’t have art or music or math or science or library. We aren’t taught traditionally. Of course we’...re learning all the essentials--just through different methods. We eat three times a day. We have two outfits. We are locked in our rooms at night after dinner.
I push my back against the door, wrapped in my blanket from the bed. It’s been months and Mama hasn’t come. I don’t think she's coming ever.
“Please tell me your name,” I say when I hear the footsteps slow at my door.
“I don’t have one.” His voice is gruff tonight.
“Your number then. Please,” I push.
“No.”MoreLess
