Let's begin.
------------------
I look down the hill. I see a woman. Her hair is tied up in a circle, like the snail who keeps his body in a spiral shell. She is wearing colours on her shining skin like the tree who wears murky brown bark on his pale beige inside. She is saying weird words at me. She has confusion in her eyes. She is pulling on the colours on her arms. They go up. She points at me. She is noticing that I am not wearing colours. I do not know how to say anything back. I am making a noise. She does not understand the noise. She gets out a shining rectangle. She puts her thumb under a line in the rectangle and it splits into two.
The woman called the number for 911. "I was walking in the forest... and all of a sudden I saw this girl with long black hair and reddish skin. She's not wearing any clothes and she doesn't seem to speak English, instead she makes animal-like noises. What do I do?"
The operator had had a long night, and he was glad that there was finally some excitement in this boring day. "Take her to Dr. Kim's hospital... it's in Toronto... where are you... okay... we'll have a helicopter there right away."
I am seeing a bird in the air with a person in its head and wings on the top instead of on the side. It has logs for feet and no mouth. The woman is putting me in the bird. I do not want to be in the bird! But the bird is closing. A man is sitting in the bird. He is making it move. He is moving it very fast. I am seeing the forest going fast away. I am seeing squares. The squares are getting bigger. The man is putting me on a big square far away from home. But first he is putting colors on me. He is saying words like the woman with the circle hair.
"Put some clothes on, kid." the pilot said. He took some of his daughter's old clothes from the back of the chopper where she left them and put them on the scared girl, and then tied her hair in a long pigtail. He took the ripped hair from the top of her head, made it into a choppy fringe, and then he escorted her over to her room in the hospital.
He sits me on a bed. I am looking at people inside a silver box making fire on a white box and then putting meat on it. Then a woman with pale skin, black hair and wide eyes is coming in the rectangle which the bird man put me through. She is saying more words. She is saying a word a lot. That word must be my name now. I remember having a name a long time ago... my first memory.
"We have decided to call you Violet, after the name of the forest you were found on. Violet, we are starting your language lessons soon. I will take you to have them soon."
