22. itty bitty christmas

[Day one, text + voice]

9 1 1

Hello? Someone took my parents. And my house.

[Day two, spam]

[Did six-year-old Dillon find tiny old roller skates in the back of his closet? Yes he did. He is now about to crash into you, probably.]

[Day three, video]

[A tiny redhead is absolutely swimming in a vaguely blasphemous christmas sweater. He's in the chapel, and he sings Away in a Manger in a clear, lovely soprano. He bites his lip for a moment afterward.]

Are we going to have a tree? Will someone else come light candles? I'm not supposed to play with fire.

[Day three, spam]

[Find Dillon with excessive candy canes hooked into the collar of his oversized sweater, trailing tinsel, attempting to stack a chair on top of a ladder so that he can hang up mistletoe and wreaths almost as big as he is.]

Are you all right?

There's weird stuff in my room, and this phone is weird too, but I figured it out.

Am I kidnapped?

[He's handling it alright, given how young he sounds. And you, mister answered-nine-one-one, are obviously trustworthy.]

No, not kidnapped.

Do you believe in magic, Dillon?

Nnno. Magic is just tricks and stuff.

[He's, like, 90% certain.]

Except for miracles. But only God an' saints can do those.

[ARE YOU A WIZARD COP]

Well, something magical has happened. Or, something you might find unbelievable.

You're on a ship. In space. You haven't been kidnapped - in fact, you'll go back home in probably just a few days.

This is an impossible ship. It's - imagine a place like Heaven, or Purgatory, except for the living, a place to visit and learn and then return back to the world.
