Cora: I looked away to text you, and now it's gone...

Mom: omg it's in the house!

Cora: I'm going to the safe room

Mom: no you won't be safe!

Cora: then don't call it a "safe" room if it's not safe!!!

Mom: that's where he got your brother

Cora: what? I don't have a brother...

Mom: I'll explain later

Cora: I want answers now!!!!

Mom: just get out of the house now, go to the train station, I'm on the train

Cora: I can't outrun that thing!

Mom: just do it, you can make it if you stay brave, it won't get you. It feeds on fear...

Cora: omg mom!!!!!

Mom: what????

Cora: so I'm in my room with the door locked, but I heard a bang downstairs. Is it possible it can go through locked doors????

Mom: you're not safe!!!! That thing can do things you can't imagine... don't make the same mistakes your brother made...

Cora: what did he do????

Mom: I said I'll explain later!

Cora: okay, but it's downstairs, so how do I leave the house??? I'm upstairs!!!

Cora: mom call me, I'm scared

Mom: I can't call you, people will hear, I'm on the train.

Cora: that doesn't matter!!!!

Mom: go to the train station now!!!!

Mom: I'll meet you there and I'll explain...

Cora: how do I get there???

Cora: mom????

Cora: mom!!!!!

Cora: mom it's coming up the stairs!!!

Cora: I'm jumping out the window

Cora: I'll meet you there if I'm alive...

(One hour later)

Cora: I made it out safely, where are you?

Mom: wait, go home now!!! Go home now!!!! Go hide somewhere else!!!

Cora: mom make up your mind! Home or here????

Cora: is there something you don't want me to see?????

Mom: just go somewhere else

Mom: but don't tell me, it might read our texts

Mom: just go!!!!!!

Cora: omg mom!

Cora: how could you????

Mom: ???

Cora: you killed dad... that's where you were... it's on the news... don't talk to me ever again

Mom: wait! It wasn't me! It was the the thing! Just run...

Cora: this is what you didn't want me to see, it's on the news. They said that dad is dead. It had to be you...

Mom: just promise me that you won't text it if it texts you...

Cora: no, I'm not making any promises with a murderer....

Cora: I'll do anything I want

Cora: don't talk to me

Mom: that thing is dangerous! It kills...

Cora: so do you

Mom: it was one mistake...

Mom: Cora please...

Mom: forgive me

Mom: I won't hurt you

Mom: just don't text it okay???

Mom: and go somewhere safe, but don't tell me where

Cora: I wouldn't tell you where I'm going anyways...

Cora: and I will text the thing, at least it will give me answers...

Mom: please just listen

Cora: no

Mom: please!!!!
