My name is Shock. I'm 7 years old and I'm all alone. She said she'd come back, she told me. But she hasn't; not yet. It's really dark in here, but I can still make out my hand. I'm scared, what should I do?

Take my hand

I can't see you. Where are you?

Just reach out.

I can't. I've got to wait for her.

Tell me about yourself to pass the time

Ok. I'm Shock Black. I'm 7 and I live in Paris. My house is next Notre Dame. The bells are annoying, they wake me up. I was out in town today. With her, of course. I love her. We saw the gypsies dancing.

Did you like them?

Yes, they were funny. Then I got dressed up to go trick-or-treating. I'm a witch.

You look very pretty.

Thank you. She went with me. She dressed up as...I can't remember, but she had a knife. She looked cool.

Wait a second.

What are you doing?

I'm wiping the blood of your face. Did you trip over?

She cut me. She put me in the dustbin and told me to wait.

Shock, I think she meant for you to wait for her to die.

Am I dead?

Yes Shock

Who are you?

My name's Jack. I've come to save you. Do you like trick-or-treating?

I love it!

If you come with me, you can trick-or-treat every day.

How do I come with you?

Take my hand, Shock. There we go! Now follow me...
