12-year-old Sun stuck up another picture on the wall of his tower bedroom. He'd moved up here two years ago, after being tormented even in his sleep by his step-siblings. He'd wake up soaking wet and freezing cold or try to go to sleep only to find his mattress and covers folded up so he couldn't lie comfortably.

He only looked out and up of his window, never down. If he looked down, maybe he'd want to jump down. Or maybe he'd be so scared he'd freeze and fall anyway.
"Virgil!" His stepmom called up. "It's breakfast time!"
