I stood up from my chair and stumbled over to the window. “Hey!” I heard another familiar voice yell as I looked over the dark lot scanning for my two kids.

Two lusted with green stone walls pressed against the gate side by side. I took one step closer peering into the gated garden. A fine wisp of light shone into my eyes, blocking my vision of whatever laid before me. Swiftly covering my sight I walked through the gate and light, only to find myself on a cryptic path of rock plates. My eyes traced the rocky path, surrounding it was lushes of youthful grass. Dew trickled down its thin shape as the gleaming sunset its ray on it, but what laid on top or

A knock at the door jolted Cassandra from her concentration on the television she was watching. She wasn’t watching anything particularly interesting, but enough to captivate her focus.
