blood blood blood
In the basement of the park office, every other Thursday night, Cecelia hosts ASKK (Adult Survivors of KinderKultus) meetings, where most of the thirty-eight children found in the Xavier barn swap stories as to finding work and sustaining relationships as a living monument to absolute atrocity.Seven of the members are now blind, having been old enough for the Entering Ritual (“the ghosts will enter through holes in the eyes”, as written in the KinderKultus Management Manual) before the Great Disappearance, wherein the nine adult members (called “child management supervisors” in the manual) vanished without a trace. These are closed meetings, so I’ve been unable to attend, but Cecelia and I have been sharing a potato patch for making vodka, and every once in a while she’ll talk about it, in an offhand way. One thing’s certain; none of the children have any doubt that the “teachers” will never return to this earth.
