Long, accusing shadows stretch across the schoolyard in the late afternoon light. Beneath the broad canopy of an old oak, a ring of girls closes in, their figures blurry silhouettes to her. One shoves her hard between the shoulder blades. Another wrenches the white-tipped cane from her grip. She stumbles and collapses onto the damp grass, a soft cry tearing from her throat as she brings her small hands up to her face. Tears track through the dust on her cheeks. "H-help..." she whispers, the word desperate and raw. Her unseeing green eyes turn blindly, searching the emptiness for you, you.
