Terrified, I slowly back up into the shadow in the corner. My thoughts rushed through my head I had no time to scream for his hand cover my mouth and I felt like the littlest piece of dirt from the earth. “Don’t say a word or your dead” he whispered in my ear. Terrified I nodded my head. And then it happened.

Good morning Sidney, “How did u sleep last night?” I didn’t speak I just ate my cereal quickly and like that I was out for school.
