The Boy Who Lost His Face (2011)
““What happened to you?” Larry asked after his sister called him to the phone. “Where’d you go?”
“You didn’t hear about it?” asked David.
“No. What?”
“The curse struck.”
“What happened?” Larry asked sarcastically. “Did you step on a flower?” He was obviously still a little mad from this morning.
David was glad that at least the whole school hadn’t heard about his pants falling down. Or maybe everyone heard about it—except Larry.
“It struck,” he said simply. “I can’t tell you how, but it was defi...nitely the curse. I had to leave school.” He paused for effect. “I went back to Mrs. Bayfield’s house.”
He thought he heard Larry gasp.
He told Larry what Mrs. Bayfield said, and then what happened when he tried to steal the cane.
“Why?” Larry asked when he was through.
“What do you mean, ‘Why’?” asked David.
“You don’t really believe in that stuff, do you?” asked Larry. “Curses? Witches?”
