“Boonma... Boonma... come play under the house. I have a red comb for your hair.”
Jak’s younger sister, Boonma, was the first to hear it clearly. She was seven, with large fearful eyes that had stopped smiling a week ago. “P’Jak,” she whispered, tugging his sleeve during dinner. “The old lady under the house is asking for my name.”
Jak grabbed his grandfather’s phra khruang amulet and crept to Boonma’s room. She was sitting upright in bed, eyes open but empty, her lips moving in silence.
