The Light Beneath the Grate
A work of fiction. The characters and events are invented; any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
A seven-year-old boy pushes a slice of bread through a floor vent, whispering "Don't cry, I brought food." His mother raises a broom to stop him. And from the darkness beneath the grate, a tiny hand reaches up toward the light.
Who is trapped under the floor of this perfect suburban home — and how long has she been down there?
