I looked at the sight in front of me, this was not my mother my mother had long black hair with blue eyes. This woman had blonde short hair with green eyes. I had no idea who this woman was but then I realized "is - is that our neighbor Mrs. Bear?" I asked scared and confused. " no, Casey, it's your mother. She's been gone so long you must have forgotten what she looks like" he says tightening his grip on my shoulders I end up agreeing with him to afraid of what he'll do if I say otherwise. I didn't understand why he was doing this I felt so bad about Mrs. Bear but I couldn't let that stop me from dealing with what my father was going to do next and I was most sternly not prepared for what came out of his mouth afterward "you mom came home and fell on the floor and passed out, with her eyes open. help me carry her to my room dearie." I gulped frightened but still help him the rest of that night was sort of a blur the only thing I truly remember after that was the dream I had after crying myself to sleep -don't ask- when I ended up falling asleep I 'woke up' in the middle of the woods. it was dark and smelled like burnt hair for a bit but that smell went away when I saw him. a tall figure, no hair, no eyes, no mouth, this man was so tall and slender that if it wasn't for is emotionless face or rather non-existent face I would have mistaken him for a tree or a shadow of one. he was suddenly went from a far distance away to the tree in front of me as I tried backing up only to realize I couldn't move. I just ended up standing there waiting for him to move once more yet he didn't, what he did was different and something I didn't expect. he disappeared and I was taken away by darkness then woke up to the blaring sound of my alarm clock. I turned it off and sat there for a minute trying to process what had just happened . I knew it was a dream but it felt so real. I got up after a bit doing my normal morning routine then went down stairs and skipped breakfast as I walked out the door and to the bus stop. I was so creeped out for the rest of the day that I wasn't paying attention to class and I was just starring at the empty page in my school notebook from each class. At the end of the day I got on the bus hoping that there wasn't another dead body in the family room. When I got home I was thankfully saved from the horrid smell of death until my father came upstairs from the basement not noticing I was even alive, thankfully. When he walked into the kitchen I raced to my room and hoped onto my bed wishing non of this was happening and that all the shit around me was just some horrible dream I've been having for years because I'm in a coma and my moms alive and well.
Ok so I didn't know how to end this chapter but meh! I needed to post something!
