I had been neglecting her, but I wasn’t doing it intentionally. I just wanted to get this out of the way.

Abigail looked at the screen, they were still going over community impact. “No, I’m fine. Really. I apologize for falling asleep.

We have asked for help from some of the surrounding towns, but we're too scared to take the chance of you being one of the casualties. We thought it best to have you raised by others until we get this sorted out so we can keep you safe. We dropped you off at the fire station, hoping you would be adopted into a good family.

After five years in captivity, I finally came home. Except there was already another daughter in my place, and somehow, Mom, Dad, and my brother, Samuel Lewis, had all developed strange "conditions."
