Chapter 7 - 418 minutes earlier- Marly

In my dream I see Daniel.

I'm back in Orlando and I'm walking the streets by myself. It's dark out and the streets are deserted. I need to hurry back home because I need to sneak in and make sure dad doesn't see me. I'm walking and speeding up my pace when I see it:

A poster that says, Missing Boy If Found Please Call 1-407-892-6548.

Underneath it says: Daniel Martel with a picture of a boy with blue eyes and blonde hair.

I shake my head and continue walking. The next sign I come across is the same, except for the thick black lines that form an X over the picture. But the word in big black letters catch most of my attention. I can feel the color drain from my face as I read each letter.

I run.

I run away.

I run far.

Never looking back.

I don't stop to catch my breath.

I don't stop to read other signs.

I just run.

Not because of the dark.

Or because I have to get home.

But because of the words.

Words that said: DEAD.

And I know it's true because I watched it on the news.

I run and run until I fall.

I fall into a deep, dark pit.

It never ended.

I fly up from my sleeping position. And look around.

I'm in the condo, but how?

A man comes in. He looks like a doctor and I hear him say, "Finally she's awake. I'm just going to give you a shot to help you breathe a little better."

I see a long silver slinder needle come from behind his back.

My eyes go wide in shock and I faint right then and there.

Falling back into a deep sleep.

Back into the dream.

Back into the never ending pit.
