I suddenly awoke. It was three in the morning. It seemed like the whole world was sleeping but me. The silence‚ sinister. I felt the weight of the darkness pushing on me. My mind darted from one nightmare scenario to the next‚ the fear of the unknown overwhelmed me and I was paranoid about vicious intrusions. My bedroom door was wide open. My eyes darted around the room‚ hunting for anything different‚ any dark silhouettes lurking in the darkness. I failed to find anything out of the ordinary

An hour passed. While trotting along‚ she crosses some worn and rusty train tracks. Weeds and grasses were sprouting between the spaces. It was obvious people weren’t using them anymore.

I bent down and lifted him slowly onto a low table‚ about two feet off

The scream is cut off when a meaty hand covers my mouth. No longer wearing shades‚ I can now see Paul’s face smiling a devil’s grin at me. One of his eye sockets is a horrible‚ gaping hole. I focus on the other one and instantly regret it when I see the malice there. “How are you‚ my little siren?” His laugh is low and malicious as I start to struggle in his grasp. “Thought you were going to get away that easy?

There would be no one to go fishing with on Sunday afternoons‚ no one to help me with my school work—not anymore‚ because he was leaving.

I was barely twelve years old when I first met Livi. She stood under the tree patiently‚ beckoning me with a large‚ red bow wrapped around her. Her screen gleamed with pride as she watched a look of excitement fill my face. Awestruck by her beauty‚ I gently enclosed her in my hands before racing up the stairs. For the next few months‚ my protectiveness continued‚ and I spent almost every waking moment with Livi. She was beside me to wake me in the morning‚ chat with me during school‚ and entertain

My alarm interrupts my sleep. I jolt out of bed. My feet pad across my room; I blindly throw on my bathers and grab the usual apple and berry smoothy.
