Helanie:
My body was covered in goosebumps. Lamar had stopped crying, but his eyes were stuck in space, his body language entirely silent. He was breathing so slowly that I wondered if he was still alive after narrating the whole terrifying tale to me.
"When did they—release you from jail?" I asked, and Lamar let out a little laugh. But it was so sad and broken that it shook the world from under my feet.
