Trish
heard a faint whisper, “Abby.” She turned to see which one
whispered Abby’s name, yet she found nothing. She examined the area
for any indication of a new survivor. Trish only saw the same
individuals that she had been with the entire time. “What
the hell?” She thought that she had started going crazy. Her felt
that her fear started turning into extreme paranoia. She took another
step, and she heard the same faint whisper, “Abby.” Trish braced
herself for a fight, yet she was left standing against herself. “Momma,
what’s wrong?” Abby stared at her mother. “Oh,
nothing baby. Keep moving.” Trish felt horrible for lying to her,
but she knew that she would make the situation worse had she
mentioned hearing a ghostly voice. “Abby,”
the voice materialized within the somber mists. Trish about-faced to
catch the culprit, and what she found left her speechless. She
squinted her eyes to see if what she saw was real. She couldn’t
believe her eyes. She
bored into the eyes of a mysterious boy. She was in disbelief. The
boy didn’t look over the age of seventeen years old. “Hello?”
Trish tried to gain the boy’s attention, yet he didn’t respond.
The boy’s face was inconclusive. Trish became relentless with
finding out his identity, and his mysterious markings. “Abby.”
The boy mourned for Trish’s ears, which forced her to cease her
pursuit. She stood face-to-face with the boy, and all she saw was his
pajamas he was wearing. She saw glimmers of blue markings on the
boy’s face, hands and arms. “What
are you?” She rushed over to the boy with the sight of a falling,
burning bush. “Watch
out!” Trish lunged to rescue the boy, however; she passed through
his corporeal-like body, and she crashed into the ground. She whipped
around to see if the boy had survived, but there was no evidence of
anyone being there. Trish became a firm believer that her mental
instability and delusions have won, and she had officially lost her
mind.
