prologue
On that Christmas night my whole life was shattered in a matter of minutes. A man destroyed my life and my family on the same night. I am Jasmin Koyopa the sole survivor of a serial murder which took the lives of my parents. We had lived in a fair sized house in Edmonton, Alberta. It was only the three of us but we were hoping there would be another in a year or two. I was six at the time and I didn't completely understand what was happening until the person had turned to me. He had shot my father when he came in. He than turned to my mother who he shot and stabbed. I still don't know what he did to me but the first thing I can remember is waking up to those lights.
