This Time, No One's Taking My Brother

Summary

Grandma is far too trusting of strangers.

She can strike up a conversation with anyone and casually tell them all about our family. She always says, "There aren't that many bad people in the world."

During summer break, she takes my younger brother, Theo, and me swimming.

After she entrusts Theo to a lifeguard to take him to the men’s restroom, my five-year-old brother is abducted and sold.

However, Grandma tells my parents that I deliberately made him disappear because I want to take his place and stay in the city.

My parents get a divorce because of it.
