DANIEL
Little Josh Devin is two weeks old today. The birth of the baby seems to bring on an extra shine in Stan's home.
"You look awkward in that. " I say to Stan, half joking. He is putting on the apron Trace wears to feed the baby. My friend says nothing but grins at me. Stan, he looks out of place in all of this. He's that sort of guy who belongs to a gym room or a tattoo parlor. He's clearly not suited for daddy duties, but I do not think he cares.
Today makes it two weeks since I asked Josie to leave my home. I do not like to remember it. I can still see her face wearing that hurt look and it makes me to realize how much of a monster I am.
"You can take Daniel out of Florida but you can't get Florida out of Daniel. "It's Randy's voice i

JOSIE"Josie, there's a man looking for you. He is outside waiting. Would you want to see him? " Patty is asking me. I am at work. Winter is finally here and the smell of Christmas with it. Life also seems to be meaningful again since I stopped my wild goose chase with Daniel Winchester, it’s no use spending so much time cooped up in my teenage fantasy. I am excited about going to college in Spring. Utah is my first choice."Wow, looks like you are becoming quite popular with the guys these days. Way to go Josie. " Stacey says. She's here so often chattering away, one would think she was also an employee at the restaurant. Its only lucky Patty does not care so much."A man? I am not expecting anyone.

DANIELI am running away from home, a monster is chasing me and despite how fast I run, he seems to be closing in on me."Come Daniel, you can't run” The monster calls to me in that voice I detest, but still I run on. I am thirsty, my throat is so dry that it feels like there are tiny pins stuck in it."Josie, "she's passing by, I am glad and thankful, finally a face I know in the midst of these strange faces."Josie! "I call out to her, she walks on, I don't think she hears me. I am determined at making her speak to me so I run till I reach her."Josie, "now I am standing right in front of her, she can't pretend not to hear me. She should see me too, but she doesn't, she walks on as if I w

JOSIE"Hello Josie, thanks for coming" The blonde-haired woman with a baby says to me. It's not hard locating this part of the hospital that has been kept for very sick people."My pleasure, ma'am "I say and offer a stifled smile. This place has a feeling of death about it. There are tear streaks on the woman's face I am certain are as a result of continued crying."Josie" Stan says to me. He walks up behind the lady and wraps an arm around her waist, It doesn't take me long to figure this must be his wife."Stan, "I reply. He simply nods at me, not knowing the right words to speak. My gaze travels past Stan and his wife towards the bed.Daniel lies on the bed, tucked in between sheets. Little tubes co

* * *DANIELI didn't know this is the day I would finally decide to open my eyes. I don't know how long u had been lying here but I know for every day I spent on this bed running lost between Randy and the other monsters, she hasn't left my side. Josie had spent hours beside me holding my hand, I only have to feel her to know she was there with me."Daniel, baby.

"A gift from my Dad to you. "I say to Daniel. He doesn't reply instead he stares at me, open mouthed."Not everyone in Riverside hates you, Dan. ""Come in" he finally says, and steps aside for me to enter the house.The Tow guys drag the rather large tree into the sitting room and set it up beside the window facing out front. Daniel isn't of much use in the dragging and heaving that ensues. The pain in his side isn't quite gone yet."Thank you, gentlemen. "He says, tipping the guys off generously.They smile professionally and take their leave. I am left alone with Daniel for the first time since the day he asked me to leave his house.The atmosphere

The old man's tale should make no meaning to me, but I don't know why it does, it seems to strike a chord in my heart, another piece in this puzzle that was my life."The lady, your woman. What was she called? "I ask in spite of the warning in my head not to say anything to this regard."Julie. I didn't know her for a long time, but for the little while we spent together, I was a different man. ""How long ago was this? ""Twenty-six years come spring. Young man that I was, foolish too. Shouldn't have let her go. " The old man replies. I guess in his present state of worry and regrets he didn't notice that I am asking too much for comfort."All I want is to find Julie or the kid. I never knew she kept the pr

Riverside has finally closed in on me. The silence and solitude I came here to find has slipped through my fingers. This is yet another surprise I didn't expect and while I am yet trying to process the shock the stranger brought to my home earlier."How long?
