The Day I Left Them with Christie
“Oh, shoot!” I whisper-shout as I roll out of bed. “I’m late for work!” I quickly get ready for work and prepare breakfast for my two daughters, Amy and Chloe. The babysitter was supposed to arrive anytime now. As I was to take my first sip of my morning coffee, the doorbell rang. “It must be the new babysitter!” my daughters exclaimed together. The babysitter that we usually have over wasn’t available, for a long time actually, which was kind of strange. When I open up the door, a girl with a big smile and piercing blue eyes is right in front of me.

Death Is Only the Beginning
I had never felt more alone than I did at that moment. I entered the forest, having the moon as my flashlight, in search of the truth. A cool wet breeze prickled down my spine, the air fogging over the deeper I walked into the woodland. The noises inside this home of many mysterious creatures can truly play with your mind. The rustling of trees, the wind whispering in your ear; a sound that makes your heart beat faster than you would think possible; a low voice that is warning you that death is coming for you. I walked more rapidly to find my destination. But something stopped me in my tracks. The cracking of a tree branch sounded like bones being ripped apart and then chewed upon by something… or someone. I looked around in every direction, and then I saw it. A dark shadow; misshapen in size and frame standing behind an oak tree, so tall seeming endless. Curiosity burned inside my veins. I reached out my hand, trembling in excitement and fear. Just as I was about to touch the deformed figure, it disappeared. I looked all around me and no one was in sight. I am alone once more. Alone as one can be here.

Siren
Once upon a time a completely normal girl sat at home, relishing in the warmth of the blanket she had covered herself with. She sat on her couch, gripping her phone in her hands texting away to her friends. They chatted about school, they chatted about their teachers, and their peers. A specific one in fact, her name was Veronica, she didn’t have many friends and she wasn’t conventionally pretty. However she was super smart and extremely kind but what does that matter?

Guilty
He killed my daughter. He killed her in cold blood and yet there he stood, free as the day it had happened. He was always in the same spot, never moving, or so it seemed to me, always there, as if taunting me. In the beginning, I tried to avoid him, I really did. I went out of my way, destroyed any connections to him, bloodied my own hands just to get away from him, but he always found me again, or maybe I found him. Sometimes I wasn’t really sure. I then realized that I needed to see him for when I didn’t see him, I would forget about her. When I saw him, he would be standing over her cold corpse. When I saw him, I felt the rage I had felt when I first saw what he had done. I wanted that rage, I needed that rage. How was I a father if I did not feel rage over her death, rage towards the one who killed her? When I did not see him, I forgot about this. I forgot about the rage, and about her. I guess that was my curse, to have those two horrible things connected. To want to forget his face, forget that he existed, but being unable to without forgetting her.
