The Places In between

Chapter 1

If Bonnie Bennett knew her life would turn out like this she would have been slightly more cautious. But there was no turning back now. She didn't even know how it happened. How she ended up here? All she knew is that no one could see her or hear her, but she could hear them. She couldn't touch anyone though which sucked. Oh well. It was now time to try and find out what happened to her. She thought the morgue would be a good place to start, so that's where she headed.

She sighed as she looked for any sign of what happened. The morgue was empty as she looked down at her body. Wait. Her body?

Bonnie stepped back as she looked at her body. It didn't even look like her. She didn't know how anyone could tell it was her with her molted skin. Had she been in a fire? A car accident? When would she get to figure it out?

The door creaked slightly and Bonnie stepped back getting a look at her mom and dad. Were they here to identify her body? She stood there patently waiting for the answers that she had been waiting to hear. Her mother cried into her father's shoulder as the mortician came into the room.

"Mr and Mrs. Bennett?"

Her father nodded.

"I'm sorry for your loss, but I need someone to identify the body."

"We'll do what we have to do."

The Mortician lifted the sheet as her mother cried. Bonnie leaned over and saw what her mother was horrified about. She didn't even know how her parents could tell that this was her body with how bad it was burned, but Bonnie knew that this was her body and there was no going back to it. What had happened to her? Was it an accident or was it something more sinister than that? She guessed she would just have to wait to find out.
