Crawling out of bed I stumble into my bathroom. Looking in the mirror a pale, sickly face with sinking eyes states back at me. It smirks and I cringe.

I turn my shower on full last, scorching hot, and slide out of the oversized black tee and step into the shower.

"ring around the Rosie,

pocket full of posie,

ashes, ashes,

I cringe and focus on the water pelting my body. The water pours over me and I try to even my breathing as I run my fingers through my hair.

It's nothing.

I pull the covers up to my chin and close my eyes.

"play with us," a child voice whispers into my ear.

I can feel the hot breath on my neck.

My eyes snap open and I look around.

The room is empty.

But as I reach my fingers up to my neck I feel a warm spot.

My body shivers and I feel the hysterics coming over me.

Shaking, I curl my body together into a ball and whisper, "no...."
