They came back for me.
They came back for me.
Well, I couldn’t exactly call it a ‘they’
but I could call it a ‘she’.
Judith was the only one who cared,
but that was enough.
Someone cared about me.
“I will stay with you.”
She said,
and, I swear,
I’d never heard sweeter words
in my entire life.
“If…”
Of course.
There was always that one crucial “if”
that followed them wherever they went.
Usually it resulted in murder or assault.
That would probably be the case
this time.
“…you spy on the staff.”
I asked Judith why.
“They’re probably evil, Bev.
I’m just saying, why would one threaten your life
and why would they leave those scars
on your knees?”
My eyes wavered
to the patches of frostbite
on my skin.
“They are most definitely up to no good.
We need to decide which ones to off first
and we need to figure out
who’s out to get you the most.”
I said nothing.
I just nodded.
Judith was always right.
