You were sitting at the corner of the couch. A white fluffy blanket covered your body. Your h/c hair laid on the each shoulder as your hood rested on the top of your head. Your eyes moved from left to right as you continued to read the article.

The next paragraph read. The tears streaming down your face matched the ones on the windows. You recalled about the recent event that occurred only a few hours ago, almost reliving it. She was right in front of you. Not across the room, not in another hall, but she was right across from you. Yet, you couldn't save her. It was too late. Plus, you couldn't catch the man responsible for her death. The person who is most likely the mass murderer.
