introduction
raze
"
hello
!"
she
shouted.
she
was
in
one
of
the
black
bucket toddler
swings
next
to
her
little
sister
.
she
was
too
big
for
a
swing
like
that
,
but
she
found
a
way
to
fit
her
legs
through
the
holes
.
she
made
it
work
.
she
smiled
at
me
.
she
introduced
herself
.
"
i'm
a
ten
-year-old
in
a
baby
swing
."
she
said
it
again
.
and
again
.
and
again
.
she
turned
it
into
a
rhythmic
chant
.
i'm
a
ten
-year-old
in
a
baby
swing
i'm
a
ten
-year-old
in
a
baby
swing
i'm
a
ten
-year-old
in
a
baby
swing
i'm
a
ten
-year-old
in
a
baby
swing
the
longer
she
kept
it
going
,
the
more
crazed
her
voice
became
,
until
it
was
thick
with
vibrato
.
she
never
took
a
breath
.
i
smiled
back
,
because
i
know
the
feeling
.
