The Novel

"Ten years after his successful novel, The Missing Ones, Nick Ashburn is releasing his second book. Mr. Ashburn, thank you for your time and congratulations on your second novel."

"Ha ha thank you Rachel. And please, call me Nick."

"Your first book, The Missing Ones was the best seller at the time. How does it feel to release a second book after ten years?"

"Kind of nervous, actually. Every time I release a book, I feel like the student who get his work reviewed by his teacher. I don't what the readers will say."

"Is this a sequel from your last book?"

"I guess you can say that!"

"Could you give us a brief synopsis of your book?"

"Well..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Roy sat down to the couch as Nick brought tea.

"Here, take this garden-groen herbal tea I've made. It'll help you be at ease." Nick said.

"Thank you." said Roy. Roy took a slip from the tea.

"Now let's start this from the beginning. You saying that your daughter, disappeared ten years ago, and shortly after I released a novel about a girl going missing that had a lot of similarities with your girl's case?"

"...."

"And you think I wrote it based off your girl?"

"As soon as I read the first sentence I knew, I knew that he girl in the book had too much in common with my daughter. Even the apartment complex where the kidnapping happened was almost identical. Didn't you live in the same apartment ten years ago?!"

"Please calm down. Yes. I lived there ten years ago, but today is the first day I heard about your girl. I am very sorry to hear that."

Roy got up from the couch, now raising his voice.

"Please be honest! Our family has been living in hell ever since! My wife is in depression, and I quit my job to look for her in every way possible.  Then, I saw your novel. The Missing Ones."

Nick slowly got up from his seat.

"It's very common to make a movie, a drama, or even a book about children gone missing. Do you know how many children are going missing every year? It's over 3000. Now, as I've said, I am very sorry about your daughter , but you can't really say that I wrote about her."

"B-But the girl in the book! The apartment! The family in grief! For a novel, it's way to similar to our case! Are you perhaps the witness? Did you see her being taken away by someone?"

"I told you, I don't know anything. Writing a novel means being as realistic as possible. Please, this is a simple coincidence. I think you are suffering from paranoia and delusion after the loss of your daughter. I'll recommend you a good doctor friend of mine, so why don't you go see-"

"....Paranoia? Delusion? BULLSHIT! You wrote that book after witnessing my daughter."

"P-Please calm down. This is not how..."

"SHUT THR FUCK UP. WHERE IS SHE?!"

"There's no reason to.."

Roy rushed into Nick, and pinned him against the wall. Roy began to chose Nick.

"NO. YOU WEREN'T THE WITNESS. YOU WERE THR CULPRIT. WHERE IS MY GIRL? HUH?!"

"I can't breathe... please it's just a novel. And you need to get some help."

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'll... I'll..."

Roy began to lose grip on Nick, until he lost consciousness.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Roy woke up in a daze. The first thing he noticed was that the was in a bathroom and he was tied up.

"What the fuck?"

"Oh, you are awake."

"You...."

"I honestly thought you were going to kill me. Had the drug kicked a moment too late, I would've been dead," said Nick soothing his throat.

"You drugged that tea!"

"You know, I was surprised to see someone was still digging around the case that happened ten years ago."

"Please.. at least if you are going to kill... just tell me where she is... where is her body."

"Body. No. There is no body." said Nick with a smile.

Th-Then she is alive? Where is she?

"Nah", he said now with a grin and a tongue sticking out. "I ate her! Slowly.. Bit by bit, finger to finger... all of her..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Could you give us a brief synopsis of your book?"

"Well it's about this culprit from the last book discovering cannibals."

"Wow that sounds... scary."

"Yes, you'll see once you read it. I guess you could say, it's very realistic....."
