Fear of the Dark

In Ava Perish's home, there are no children. Ava has been the only one, and she's fourteen now. She can be left home alone, although she's never truly been left home alone. But when she is left home "alone," she should always leave the lights on...because there is other child in the house. A child she's not there to babysit, because is always in the shadows. A child who she doesn't watch or supervise, but that watches her closely every minute. This child is no sweetheart. This child is a demon, a monster. Don't play with her, keep dangerous objects out of her reach, and keep the lights on. It's okay to fear the dark...you have a good reason to. Most young children do, except for this one who happens to be a part of it.
