    One girl each year. Two hundred and six bones times a thousand years. More than enough calcium to keep this house standing until the stars ate themselves clean, picked the sinew from their own shining bones.
    All for one girl as she waited and waited.
    Alone in the dirt and the dark.

    Only an audible smack as it hit the floor, a sound like a palm colliding with a cheek.
