Chapter 1:
If you asked someone about 1977, you would get a lot of answers. The first Apple II Computer went on sale. Jimmy Carter became president. Elvis Presley died at age 42 from a heart attack. New York City suffered a major blackout for twenty-five hours. Star Wars. The Son of Sam, who was arrested on August 10, 1977, eleven days after his last murder. Did all this happen in 1977? Yes, and these would be the answers given. But nobody would mention Winslow, Arizona or what happened there in 1977, and if they knew about it, then they would disappear.
If you looked really hard, you would find something, a news story about the kidnapping of Jenny Hayden. She was abducted from her home in the middle of the night and forced into her car, taking off with her abductor. She tried to escape, but whatever had happened with that seems to be erased now. She was spotted at a rest stop, where a brawl broke out over a deer and a car chase led to a collision with a tourist bus. After that, the story gets sketchy. A police officer said that she was shot during another car chase with the police. There was an explosion, and her body was carried out of the debris by her abductor. She was then spotted at another rest stop, where she caught a ride heading west. She was seen later in Las Vegas, then again at another rest stop. After that, nobody had seen her. She was presumed dead, and her home was left abandoned. Was Jenny Hayden abducted? Yes, but what nobody would mention was that it was the government that took her. They kept her locked up, isolated, running tests on her, and somehow later, she managed to escape. But she knew that she could not go home. She could never go home again, and she was okay with that. And they would be looking for her, and by then, they would know about me. For twenty-five years, she kept me safe, but it's five years later without her. Am I really safe? What will happen to me when the day comes, where they find me?
