The camera wobbled as it panned across the room. That’s when I saw them. Eleven men. They stood in a loose semicircle, dressed identically: dark trousers, white shirts, suspenders.

All faces from my childhood, all now dead or gone.
That night, I dreamed of eleven men in white shirts standing around my bed. In the dream, I couldn’t move. The baker leaned close. His breath smelled of damp plaster and old coins.
