The 4

She Needs a Therapist

I walk Zoe to the couch and we both watch tv. I am worried about her and her health. She is losing sleep since this thing is stalking her. My thoughts got interrupted when a bang on the door happened. Who comes at a house at 4 am. I walk up to the door and see children are there.

"Nana who is it?"

"These children dressed in black."

"That's strange. Don't answer and they will go away." I walk back to the couch and as I made it to my couch, the bangs got even louder. I went up to the phone and called 911.

"Yes there are children that are banging on my door. They won't go away." The bangs sound as if they are in my mind. Am I going insane too? "Ok. Just hurry." The police pull up.

"Ma'am where did you see these children?"

"They were right here. On the doorstep."

"Ma'am they might have gotten scared and ran away but we'll find a tracks." I go back inside and sit back on the couch.

"Nana I don't know when this will stop but it feels like it is going on forever."

"I know honey." The police come in.

"We didn't see any footprints or anything."

"But they were right there and there would have been footprints because it was raining earlier."

"I'm sorry ma'am but we found no sign that anyone was here."

"No it's ok but thanks for the help." I closed the door in disappointment. This makes no sense because they would have made footprints in the mud. I walk back to the couch, head down while walking. I watch a cartoon till my eyes become tired.

"Nana wake up. Nana!" I wake up startled. "I'm sorry but we have to leave for the therapist in a hour."

"Oh ok. Thanks." I get up slowly and I head up for the stairs. Hopefully I don't fall down the stairs.

"Nana I'll help you." She helps me get up the stairs.

"Thanks my darling." I get to my bedroom and get my usual Abercrombie and capris. I again get Zoe to help me. "Thanks again. If I haven't had you here then I would just fall down the stairs."

"Your welcome Nana." She smiles. We reach the bottom of the stairs and head out the door. I push my keys and turn it. After a few turn I arrive at the therapist. We walk in and there is Timmy on the couch.
