Buttons

He put his thoughts together in the same way he buttoned his shirt in the mornings before school, slowly from bottom to top. He knew the resistance existed. He knew people in the resistance went out at night. He knew Ingrid went out at night. He knew people in the resistance stole things and didn't like soldiers. He knew Ingrid stole books and called the green coats “bad guys.” He knew people in the resistance carried weapons. He knew Ingrid had a knife in her boot. He knew people in the resistance died.

And so he sat in the closet.
