I woke up like any other day but I could feel that today was going to be different.I don't know what was telling me but I knew maybe it was because today was the day my dad died april the 4th 2020.That was 10 years ago now im 20 my birthday is june,4 2000. Even to this day his death haunts me in my sleep and even in the day but i have gotten used to it But like i was saying i woke up and made my coffee. I truly can't live without it. It keeps me going all day then I got dressed for work. I work for a florist company. My mom started it but we went bankrupt and it was repersest to be made into a more updated version of the place called moonlight flowers . It's actually not that bad but I do miss the old place but. As I was saying before I got sidetracked I started to get dressed and took my pills. I have ADHD which is Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which means I have a hard time staying focused on one thing. After I took my pills I looked in the mirror. I have kinda long white hair that is natural and my eyes are raven and I have white skin color even though I go out alot after i looked at myself I left the apartment building to go to my car.
     When i got into the car i turned the radio on right then there i heard a story about a serial killer on the loose.That was rare. I lived in a pretty good neighborhood. There were rarely any cases of any crime let alone a serial killer. I turned the radio off not wanting to hear anything about that and played some music.
    After a while I arrived at my job it was actually pretty cute even though it was bought by a big company.I walked in and clacked in this was almost zombie like i done it for most of my life but on the way i said hey to Azazel he was the son of the person who bought it he usually hanged around there.After i said hey to Azazel i walked to the back to get my apren on and saw Tiff and jennifer they were gossiping about the thing on the news.I was not really close to them so i didn't go over there to asked what happened but i did hear some of the things they said.Jennifer had said’’Did You hear about the guy on the news
     “yeah it crazy’’ Tiff replied     
     ‘’we never get anything like that around here’’ Jennifer stated
     ’’Yeah and i hear this guy is a real nut job’’ tiff said
      ‘’What did you hear?’’Jennifer asked.
      ‘’I heard this guy had killed like 20 people over the years and that is just the police had found’’ 
        ‘’ That is crazy’’Jeniffer replied. This is all I heard but I thought that was crazy, 20 people. What is it like to take the life of 20 people and still sleep at night? I don't know how those killers do it.

After about 3 hours at work everything was normal, everyone that came had already had reservations and paid in full. At moonlight flowers people are able to pay half  the money they owe and when they pick it up pay in full. This had some problems like people saying they paid in full when they didn't but we resolved them pretty quickly.A few minutes later tho a man came in with black hair and had an undercut he came to the front desk and i saw he had green eyes they were like a forest they were really pretty. He was about 6ft
      ’’Can I get some blue moon flowers” the man asked. The man's voice left me in shock. He had a really deep voice
      “yeah,how many and is it a pick up?’’ I asked
      “ No, I don't have a pick up and 20 please'’ he answered.
      “Ok that will be 11.50” I responded.
     ”ok”he said simply “i will go get them from the back
      ”I told him.I walked to the back of the store and got him the moonlight plants. Moonlight plants can also be called  tropical white morning-glory or moonflower or moon vine and they are a species of night-blooming morning glory native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, from Argentina to northern Mexico,Florida and the West Indies. They are very beautiful and are my favorite. I graded all 20 and brought them to the man.
      “ I need some of your info before i give them to you”
      “ok”he said again.
     “Ok I need your name” I asked
      “Azazel roman” He answered his name was fimaler but i could not place it
      “ I need a home address”
      “908 Bel Air Rd” he answered
     “thank u,that's all I need”
      “ok” he responded.Azazel paid and left with the moonlight. He was quiet and kind of scary but he was cute.

After that the rest of the day was normal and After a while it was time to leave. I started to get ready to leave and lock up. After I left it started to rain.
     ”Just my luck” I thought.
     There was this alley that had cover but I hated to go down it. It always made me feel uncomfortable but it was that or get soaked. I turned to the alley and started to walk down the alley. I got halfway and then I noticed  a man was over a woman with a knife in her chest and blood everywhere. I was frozen in place and I wanted to scream but I just couldn't.I slowly walked back but I hit an old glass bottle and the man noticed me. The man looked up and we both froze. It was too dark so I could not see the man's face but I did not care. I finally was able to run and I did. I turned and ran as fast as I could. I could hear the man running behind me. I almost made it to the end but the man graded me and pulled me back into the alley. The man put a cloth over my mouth and nose and I slowly passed out.
