Chapter 39 - KILLER SEQUEL: Courier Trails Preview

"I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but your parents have been notified about your behavior....."

The girl said nothing, she simply walked out, making sure to leave the door open.

**********************************************

The girl walked into her house to be met with its usual mood. Total silence.

She was used to the quiet. It was a bit deafening to those inexperienced but she lived here her whole life, she could handle it. Nevertheless it didn't stop her from wondering how a house of three living individuals could be so lifeless and dead.

"I'm home..."

No answer.

She knew it wasn't because the house was empty, it was just that they couldn't be bothered enough to answer.

She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. It was empty...as usual.

"Looks like it'll be pizza for dinner.... again..."

She got out her phone and ordered 4 boxes of the snack, before putting a kettle of water on the stove to boil.

She opened her chain wallet. Luckily there was still enough money in it to last for 3 more days of pizza eating.

The girl walked up the stairs and past her parents room. There was a stack of letters from the school at the foot of their door, some of them dating back to a year ago.

She was sure her parents didn't even know what was in those letters. However if she didn't bring them in the mailbox was going to get full. She dropped the latest letter on top of the stack neatly and left to take the water off the stove.

She smiled as she sat in her room fifteen minutes later, four boxes of pizza on her bed, the book, The Invisible Man, on her lap and a cup of hot water in her hand.

This was probably the thousandth time she was reading the famous novel by Ralph Ellison. It was her favorite book of all time.

...because she never thought she'll relate to a fictional character more than any human she knew.
