Foreword
“Mommy? Daddy?”
A gust of wind blew through the open window. Although, the window looked like someone had punched right through it. The little girl didn't know that though. The cool air made her shiver. She pulled her blanket around herself tighter.

Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream echoed through the house. It was coming from the basement. The little girl had been startled by the scream. She was sitting up now, staring at the basement door. Driven by pure curiosity, she stood up and opened the basement door. After contemplating whether she should continue or not, she started down the stairs. She was meticulous about her movements. Footsteps like a mouse. Now at the bottom of the stairs, she peeked her head around the wall separating her from the basement. Her eyes widened. A shrill scream echoed through the night. It wouldn’t be the last...
Author’s Note:
Hae Mi is a fictional character, but her personality is based off a part of mine. It’s the personality that no one knows, which fits Hae Mi perfectly because no one really knows her. As you go through the story, you’ll find out more about her and her personality.
