I have nightmares all the time about when my mom died. It haunts me everyday of my life! It was horrible and every everytime I try to forget it, I can't! It's something that follows me, shadows my thoughts, I can't escape! I wake up screaming for my dad and he always comes rushing into my room to comfort me. We keep eachother safe and I keep my friends safe. All we can do on WhiteScratch is comfort each other and wait to die. By now, the whole population on WhiteScratch should be wiped out but, we keep producing from some mysterious force. I wish to find this mystery someday but I can't leave my Dad, not yet! He needs me and I need him.
That afternoon I went to see my friend Jake. He lives on the outskirts of our town and its only a 5 minute walk from my house to his. We usually just hang out and talk, sometimes we can find games to play. We cant really go outside because our air is polluted with WhiteScratch and the chemicals the doctors have used to attempt to cure WhiteScratch. My dad and his parents are doctors so all day, every day we usually hang out because there is nothing else to do! We both worry for our parents lives especially since they need to be exposed to WhiteScratch in order to figure out how to fight it. When my dad gets home, I check him all over for the Big yellow bumps on his skin. Luckly, he has come home without any so far. When I left Jake's house for the night and came home, my dad had just gotten back from work. When I went inside, I saw something that petrified me out of my wits!
