I was the child who never should have been born. My sister, Luna Lane, had congenital kidney disease. And my only worth was to be her donor. The day the test results came back, the house was filled with rare joy. For the first time ever, Mom's eyes softened when she looked at me. My dad, who was always sighing, even gave me a rare smile. I thought I was finally getting their love. But late at night, the sharp smell of smoke drifted upstairs. Flames began seeping through the gap under my door. Choking and coughing, I stumbled out to knock on my parents' and Luna's doors, only to find every room empty. They had already taken Luna and escaped. Not one of them called out for me.
