My stepdad's fantasy
“They don’t get to
The lights flickered again harder ,then gone
There was complete darkness
I gasped
Sofia let out a soft cry ,then the monito even the ysyste,
Both turned on at the same time.
Cold light.
Too bright.
Too sudden.
Another message filled the screen.
Bigger.
Clearer.
Last warning.
I couldn’t breathe.
I actually couldn’t breathe.
Tomás stepped closer to me slowly.
‘Lila’,he said, softer now. “We need to think,“I am thinking,” I said, my voice breaking. “I’m thinking I’m not putting her down.
Another flicker.
Another message.
Slower this time
Worse
