• A small figure, silhouetted in the light. She steps out of her hiding place. The dead silence of the house no longer scares her. She delicately walks, as not to let her presence known. She steps up the stairs back to her bedroom. She see's the door to her parents room open a jar. A light escapes and plays shadows across the hallway. She looks briefly but then steps into her room. Her closet door is open but she doesn't believe in monsters anymore. She lays down on her bed and closes her eyes. Nothing more, unfeeling, she drifts of to sleep..for the last time.
