A girl about 10 is waiting the arrival of her birthday, The few normal days become less normal, then become completey wierd, then the wierd become normal I wake up with a surge of excitment. Only 4 months till my birthday! I meandered throughout the house, noticing I was the only one there, I ran out side. There was father and mother, father hugged me told me he loved me, then sent me off towards mother. She was crying. "Mother, whats happening?" Thats when I noticed several men, a few yards behind father. I knew immediatly what was happening. I ran to father screaming and crying telling him not to go. He glanced down to me smoothing my hair gently like he always did, and said with a sigh "I have no choice Lucy."
