Anything For You

Cassie Graham was 17 when it started. The stranger she saw walking each night at first was just that- a stranger. But one time, he invited her to follow. It was that night that Cassie was already in deeper than she could imagine. She saw and learnt the inexplainable and fell for this mysterious boy.

It was already too late.

Just as it is for you, reader. You will no longer be able to glance at a stranger in the street without having that feeling of dread in your gut. You will also no longer be able to wear a red turtle neck in Autumn or black mittens in Winter without feeling an unearthly chill down your spine. And, you will most certainly be unable to utter a simple three word phrase again in your life without remembering this sad and sorry tale.

I'm sure you've already guessed that those three words, made up of five empty syllables robbed someone of their life. And, dear reader, if you're about to place this book back on the shelf I want you first to know the three words that haunted Cassie till the very end-

"Anything for you."

Some times she'd murmur these words under her breath until dawn. Other times she'd scribble them over and over in her notebook. To us, nothing but illegible scribbles.

Now, before you begin-

This is not the story of Cassie Graham, it is merely just the end.
