MIRIAM

“Aunty…”

I called after tapping the bed several times without finding aunty Mira on the bed, it was strange because she is always on the bed with me every time I wake up. Tonight, I was awoken by a nightmare I had and I was so afraid but she was not there.

“Aunty,”

I called again and my fear grew because that was what happened in my dream. I was alone in the new house and I was calling out to aunty Mira and uncle Fernir but they didn’t answer.

They had all gone and I was all alone in the dark and scary new house.

I summoned courage...
