It is the beginning of winter break, there is no school and Christmas is only a few days away, my little brother is following me around like a shadow, my mom wants me to be extra good to show my appreciation of the gifts I am about to receive, my dad is off from work for the holidays, and they are all wanting to bond as a family. All I want to do is stay in my room and have a break from them all, because I have worked hard all school year to keep my grades up and stay out of trouble. It is not that I don't love them it is just I want my vacation for myself. I know it sounds greedy and ungrateful of me, because I have a family that loves me and I have no worries...blah blah blah!

Well I have been giving my little brother a little more attention than normal and I have been extra good so that they would let me have my peace in my little room I call my safe haven...The only thing is sometimes I am not so sure I am completly alone....My television is usually cut way down on the sound, because I play on my laptop most of the time so naturally when I hear an odd sound I look up and around and under my bed just to make sure my little brother is not hiding in my room. No...he is not there, so where is that sound coming from? It is almost like a whisper of a sound that gives me chills up my spine.

I turn my televison on mute and strain to hear it again, and there is complete silence...so I shake it off saying my mind is playing tricks on me. All of a sudden my television starts to flicker to a static state and completly turns off. I sit there with a puzzled look and grab my remote and turn it back on. It is normal so I turn the volume up a little and go back to my games I was playing on my laptop. Then it goes static again but instead of a static sound it is a voice that is in a whisper that says "I need your help"! It says this three times in a row and my television cuts off again.

I sit there in shock that this is happening, all I can think is what do I do? Should I tell my parents and come to the conclusion they would think I was doing drugs or something. So I decided to be brave and say "What can I do to help you"? Then there was nothing, no noise no reply, so I asked again I am here for you what can I do to help you?  If felt like someone was breathing right in my ear and the whispering voice said "I am lost and can not find my daughter, we died together from the hands of an intruder who broke in our home, but our souls are lost and cannot find each other" I said how can I help find a lost soul?
