The flyers had started to spread. They were absolutely everywhere; around every street corner, in every store aisle. At one point I remember seeing Mr. and Mrs. Lucas out at a gas station, they looked like they hadn't slept in weeks. I wondered if they had nightmares too. I bet they were worse. My dad had told Laura and I that we had a curfew, 7 o'clock sharp. He was afraid that Laura and I would be snatched. I didn't tell him that I was also worried about that, instead I hid my own pair of purple chucks way under my bed and went to sleep. At midnight, the house phone rang. I hid under my sheets, praying to God that someone else hadn't been taken. I prayed.

They slowly closed, and she drifted off into her soft snoring. For a 3 year old, she sure knows how to mess with your heart. I felt so bad. Her father left. Well, my husband found somebody better i guess. We had her when i was 20, and he left when she was only 4 months old. What a life. During my deep thinkink, the tv stated making that fog horn type noise, waking me up from my trance. The news was on, with the alert reading across the screen. "TAKE COVER, STAY IN HOMES. LOCK DOORS, STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS" i lay amelia in her bed, out of my lap. I lock the windows and the doors. When i came back, i missed whatever the alert was about...i should have waited. That mistake changed my life forever...
