The Black Box

He said “We are going to teach you a lesson. We are going to make you regret the day you were born. We are going to teach you to shut your month. We think it’s time you lost everything. We’ve done it before and your mother will be next.” Now my mom is dead, and I never did figure out who the “we” is.
