Summary
“It’s a 20-sided dice.” William explains as if it is not obvious looking at the plastic icosahedron resting on his palm.
“I was thinking.” White teeth on soft yellows. “For when you have the Bad Thoughts again.” Henry wants to draw his own hands. Maybe even William’s as well, for good measure. “You should roll it. You can only do the Bad Thought if you roll a 20.”
(Or: Henry remembers a cave (no, the mines), remembers entering the crack in the rocks. He remembers walking (squeezing, r u n n i n g, crawling) through the empty deep darkness for a long, long time. It had felt like decades but also just like a few ticks of the clock, life in that whispering void. When he comes (retched, disowned) out back into the light it is November 13, 1983 and he is carrying a small, pale shivering boy ( W i l l i a m ? ) in his mangled dead arms.)
