“Oh! Um, yeah, hello.” Lacey gives the older man a small, awkward wave before she cringes at the absurdity of it. Why the heck did she just wave at him like that? She has to remind herself not to be awkward. She attributes her weirdness to the late hour and the lack of proper sleep. “Um, I'm sorry. I was-”
Get it together Lacey! she cautions herself as she pauses to take a deep calming breath to get her thoughts in order. It is the middle of the night and this man more than likely is not looking for some insane woman to ramble at him. He is probably just as tired as she is. Lacey gets her thoughts in order before she speaks again.
“Hi. My name is Lacey Williamson and I am staying in the room next door with my husband Andy and our two children. Just a few moments ago someth

"Damn it all to hell!" Andy curses as he slaps his hand down angrily upon the rumpled bed in which he and his wife had just spent the last couple of pleasant hours together. Then she had gotten upset and she did not feel that he was supportive enough. Maybe he hadn't been. Andy moved around the room with heavy feet, agitated by his argument with Lacey and the major part he played in it. He cared about her thoughts and opinions, why would she think that he didn't? He loved his wife so much that sometimes he could not stand it. She and the kids were his whole world. The three of them were everything to him. They made his life complete and he could not imagine his life without them by his side. Andy did value his wife and all of the things that were important to her. He was not trying to make her feel like he

Lacey falls back away from the hole that she had just found in the wall, her chest rising and falling erratically because she is breathing heavy with fear. Her bottom hits the hard floor and she puts her hands out to keep from falling over backwards. She had just seen an eye. She knew that it had to be Andy or the kids, unless someone else was in there. But regardless of whose eye she had seen, it was still creepy as hell. Had that man been spying on them as they were in their room? She could see into the room so well that she could make out the rumpled bed that she and her husband where just laying in together only mere moments before. As she remembered the moment that she and Andy had shared hours before, she wondered if someone had been watching them. The thought freaks her out.

June 7, 1971 “Come on damn it. Let's go, boy!” Dave tells Nate, using his foot to roughly shove the child's chair back from the table, so that the boy was forced to stand up. “Get your little ass in the truck. We are going home.” Nate jumped up immediately to his feet. His daddy was in a really bad mood right now and Nate did not want to cross him. After he had let Nate taste his beer, he had begun to talk with some other man in the place. The man made some remarks about Nate's mother that Dave didn't like and their was a very heated argument.

May 29th 1977 Nate would not say that he considered himself to be a cruel person by any means. He was pretty much your average twelve year old. He liked looking through comic books and eating sugary cereal. Typical kid stuff. Except that he was incredibly intelligent with an impressively high IQ. In his small, off the map, hick town full of imbreds and idiots, as he refered to them, he was the smartest one around. Combine his above average intelligence with his unsual choice of hobbies, and he might be considered a sociopath. Nate knows this, because he has a book on mental disorders and behaviors that he has read cover to cover many times. If ever asked, he would be comfortable classifying himelf as a sociopath.
