My mother told me about

the killer in town.

I asked her what he looks like

and she said -“its a man”.

I asked her who he targets

and she said -“girls like you”.

“girls like me?”

“Yes. Girls who are smart, beautiful, loving, caring,

meek, outspoken, dependant, independent”.

“…but thats every other girl I know mother!”

“Yes”.

I asked her how do I know its him?

She said “You don’t and that’s why you stay in”.

I asked her- “How long?”

She said- “as long as he stays in town.”

“But what if he stays forever?”
