Praise for Lisa Heathfield’s SEED
‘Drink it.’ She’s holding the glass out to me. It’s so full that if she tipped her hand just a bit the water would trickle down the side. ‘Now.’
‘But I’m not thirsty.’ I want my voice to be big, but it’s just a whisper.
Kathleen bends so low that her eyes are level with mine. Her eyelashes are black. The blusher on her cheeks is too red, like two little apples sitting in puddles of cream.
‘Drink it,’ she says again.
My bladder is full. She hasn’t let me use the toilet since I got up this morning and I’ve already had my glass of warm milk.
