"Mom, it was all my fault. If I could, I'd hitch a ride in the doctor's TARDIS, go back in time and prevent any of this from happening." I said. Even as I referenced one of my favorite TV shows that always made me laugh, I knew this was the one time my strategy had failed. If possible, I felt even worse than before. I felt a presence behind me and only turned around because I feared it would be my dad. No, my dad never visited my mother's grave and I last saw him recovering from a nasty gash on the side of his head. So who was behind me? I turned around and saw a boy about my age, maybe a year or two older. He gave me a pitying expression and knelled down next to me. What did he want? Couldn't he tell I just wanted to be alone? "Is that your mom?" The boy asked and pointed to my mother's grave. I held my composure enough to say, "Yes, and I'm the one that put her there."

Completed ✅ When I was four years old, I saw a woman die. I didn't understand what was happening at the time. I didn't know why she was lying on the floor. I didn't realise I was stepping in her blood. I just thought my mother had gone to sleep, and, in a way, she had. When I was eight years old, I saw a man turn to drink. My father was struggling to deal raising me without my mother, and alcohol was his coping mechanism. When I was twelve years old, I saw a man lose himself. The alcohol had not helped my father, and when the drugs came along, things got even worse. The man I used to love had changed, disappeared, and in his place was a drug-ridden wreck of a man, who barely knew my name anymore. When I was sixteen years old, I saw a man die. I understood exactly what was happening. I knew why he was lying on the floor. I realised I was stepping in his blood. I thought my father had gone to sleep, and, in a way, he had. And it was my fault. Back then, there were three of us. But I'm twenty years old, and it's just me now. My name is Hazel Richards, and I'm the only one left.
