One late night I was walking and I looked up at the black sky. I was freezing cold; it felt like it was only 10 degrees outside. Well I guess that makes sense because it’s the middle of fall. I looked at my watch‚ it was about 10:06 pm‚ and I hadn’t intended to be out this late I sort of just lost track of time. The sun had set‚ and there lies an empty road ahead that had no streetlights. My anxiety was through the roof once I realized I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling

a horror movie centered around a deaf and mute author‚ Maddie‚ who lives alone with her cat. There are few that involve characters with disabilities.

I turned over the question paper and quickly through the titles. I almost fainted with fear. It just wasn’t happening. All the titles seemed alien to me. My mind went totally blank.
