The Things We Never Said (2013)
“The idea is that if Sneezy appears in front of the stage just before curtain up, the audience will be so busy watching his antics that they won’t notice the rest of the dwarves creeping out behind them in the darkness, ready to hi-ho their way down the aisles and onto the stage.
Jonathan peers through the crack in the door. It’s airless in the tiny space, humid with exhaled breath. He tries to shift position but given the proximity of the other dwarves he can barely move. Sweat starts to prickl...e under his arms, and he runs his finger under his collar to lift it away from the clammy skin on the back of his neck. What doesn’t help is that he is absolutely certain he saw Ryan Jenkins just now, hanging around outside with a couple of other boys.
