it all was like normal. she grabbed her bag as she was rushing out the door grabbing a bite to eat as well hurrying to eat as she rushed down the cold street to beat the clock and arrive in time

The faucet drips sounded like bangs agenst the cold metal interior of the sink she sat in silence at the table staring at her child who was looking at a book. A knock came at the door so she reluctantly stood up and tapped her daughter's shoulder before walking to the door. Outside stood a police officer with bad news .

" You daughter has been found dead in a river "

the woman was confused as she closed the door not letting her eyes trail up to whoever was thare. only to hear her daughter's sweet lagh

" I can't leave till you find him "

the woman looked up quickly to see her daughters lovely smile . gorgeous eyes . fair skin. her daughter was perfect in every way. how could someone do something like that to her. more importantly . who did something like that to her and why

the next morning

j.

" wake up mom you have work"

e.

" what?"

j.

"wake up "

the woman got up still not use to everything. she slipped a white button up over her shoulders and arms then buttoned it up looking in the mirror repeating the same sentence she did every morning to apparently stretch her face

the girl giggles setting on the floor beside her bed

" don't you have school June?"

" oh" the girl sighed " you forgot I'm dead already?

" oh yes that's right... " the woman slipped a coat on . her smile dull and her eyes to match
