The Cat

The First Night

 It was close to 9 o'clock at night when a mother and daughter pulled into the driveway of their new house. They decided to have a late dinner and the girl thought to herself

"I wish Dad were here, he would love it."

"Hey, Rea get out of that head of yours!" The mother said

"You need to get to bed, it's late and I have a surprise for you in the morning."

"Okay, I was thinking about dad," Rea replied in a sad tone.

"I know you miss your father, I miss him too," she sighed

"I wish we could have had him around a little longer but you know I love you right?"

"I know, I love you too. Night." Rea said as she walked upstairs to her room.

Rea couldn't sleep, she just couldn't stop thinking about the surprise. She was thinking maybe her mother would take her to the mall or to go exploring. She hoped they could explore the new area, and see the lush woods so many pictures of the island depicted. Rea loved the woods and strange places. There was a place she heard about it was called Afterglow Vista when she had looked up where they were moving.

"I think it was called Afterglow Vista. I need to check that place out, maybe I can go while mom is at work." She thought.

In the many tourist destinations of San Juan Island, this place had drawn her curiosity more than anything else. Located deep in the woods it was something that could have come straight out of a Stephen King book. It was exactly the kind of thing she found herself longing to explore. Wanting nothing more than for morning to come sooner, Rea finally lulled herself to sleep.
