"Please don't go in there," Karen silently begged from behind me, but my hand was already on the handle. It seemed as if her entire idea of following behind me into the cabin had shifted, because the moment I looked behind me, the door slammed, and she was no longer there. I had the feeling she would probably chicken out from the start, the love of my sophomore year heart was like that. The way she'd say things but then take them back, it was the thrill of loving her.

I must have screamed when I started to feel the energy draining from my body, even though I couldn't quite hear myself. It was as if I was on mute, because Karen had screamed from behind the door. Her slim hands started to bang on it as I just stood there, frozen and muted. I couldn't seem to do anything, frozen as if I was just put into the deep, freezing seas of the North Pole. I couldn't see, move, or even speak, but what I could do was hear. And so as my life was drained from me as if you were draining a pool, Karen's screams and cries for help was all that I could hear. That sweet voice I once listened to for hours without ever seeming to get bored.
