Not Alone

The mind is a powerful machine. We attribute the odd and unexplained to mundane mistakes and common occurrences. We don't linger on the malicious or the maladjusted because our mental survival requires it of us. When things go missing, they are misplaced. When we find ourselves somewhere we can't explain, we have simply gotten lost.

Carrie's life was like any other. Friends, family, work and weekends. Her life was quiet and calm; the way she preferred it. But just because you don't go out of your way to find danger, doesn't mean it won't find you. Just because you're home by yourself... doesn't mean you're alone.
