Preface
December 12th 1998:
I walked through the aisles of the department store, running my fingers through the silky fabrics of the dresses and blouses that hung on the racks. I marveled in the bright colors and floral patterns as the delicate designs slid across my fingertips. I closed my eyes, and imagined one day, when I was all grown up, and had a husband and little girl of my own, that we would spend a day at the park, and I would wear a beautiful bright yellow sun dress, just like the one that had left my hands seconds ago.
I opened my eyes, turned around, and I gasped when my body smashed into something cold and hard. His hands were like ice as they gripped onto my arms to keep me from falling to the ground.
He knelt down to my level, to speak to me in a smooth and musical voice.
"Hello Sunshine." The stranger said as he lifted my wrist to his face and inhaled deeply.
I knew I should run, or scream, or fight, but I couldn't look away from his eyes. So peculiar they were, like nothing I had ever seen before. They were the brightest shade of red, and seemed to swimming with emotion.
"I've heard stories, but I never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it possible. La Tua Cantante." He mumbled. A smile spread across his lips as they parted, revealing perfect white teeth.
I heard a horribly loud piercing sound cut through my eardrums, and time seemed to slow down as I saw several things happen at once.
I saw my mom run over to me and scoop me up, spinning me around and cradling me in her arms. The noise suddenly stopped and I realized that her screams were the source of the noise that rang through my ears.
I saw 2 security guards rush by us, drawing their guns from their holsters as they advanced towards the stranger.
I saw the stranger; disappear in a blur, but not before making eye contact with me one last time, and mouthing the words "I'll find you."
