Body Parts For Hire, Page 3

  “Lucy,” he looked at her. Her face contorted.

  “What happened in there,” she asked. “I heard noises and here…” she lifted her hand. It held the chisel. Its blade was misshapen, as a contorted leaf. “It popped out of the walls with force. It got me scared.”

  “Nothing’s wrong, dear,” he replied, assuming control over his inhibitions.

  “You’ve bruised yourself again, dad,” she informed, “and this…” she lifted the chisel. “Something’s not right in there.”

  He sighed. He didn’t want to keep secrets away from his little girl but that box… it was something else. His mind flashed back as he tried to remember what he saw in the darkness when he fell, what he thought he saw. As hard as he tried to think, his memory remained blank, the presence of nonexistence. It nagged at his mind for a few seconds before he shut it off. Things were calmer now and it had to stay that way.

  Lucy was trying her very best to peep through the half-opened doorway. The shed was however still dark enough to hide his ‘toy’. He closed the door completely.

  “The only thing not right in here is my belly,” he smiled at her.

  She looked back at him and smiled. “Fortunately for you, there are cupcakes that need eating. Unfortunately, they will be done in another twenty minutes.”

  “Aw… shucks,” he muttered and laid his arm around her. “It’ll be worth the wait I believe.”
