Read the Beginning
“WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER?”
The word sounded strange in Belle's ears when he pronounced it. Mother. Unnatural. But not as unnatural as mom. That word was pressed between her lips, distorted and angry, like a swollen slug that would finally manage to break free and fall with a splat on the floor to draw everyone's attention. Because that's what happened every time.
The word mom had no place in her mouth and Belle didn't say it unless it was absolutely necessary. At least mother was somewhat colder, creating a distance.
“All right, take your time,” said Ramsey, pronouncing the vowels sharply and clearly. Belle looked at Ramsey across from her, avoiding the camera. Worry lines intersected on his black skin, gathering around his eyes as he steadily looked at Belle.

"All right, take your time," said Ramsey, pronouncing the vowels sharply and clearly. Belle looked at Ramsey across from her, avoiding the camera. Worry lines crossed over his dark skin, gathering around his eyes as he stared steadily at Belle, because she was already procrastinating excessively, more than she had during the meetings to prepare for the interviews in recent days. He raised his hand and scratched his temple, right where his dark curly hair was greying above his ears. Ramsey Lee: film producer and director from South London – he lived on the other side of the world, and yet here he was in Gorham, New Hampshire, sitting across from her. Ramsey cleared his throat. "Uh..." Belle started to say, but choked on that slug. "I don't know." Ramsey leaned back, his chair creaked, and Belle realized from the disappointment that flashed briefly across his face that she wasn't doing well. She was doing worse than before. It must have been the camera's fault. The camera changed things, because it created something permanent. One day, thousands of people would watch the documentary and the only thing separating them from her would be the glass of the television.
