The girl had lost her little sister to the cruel and unforgiving end of her neighbor's shotgun earlier that year. And now? Her parents distorted screams echoed from her house as they attempted to escape the fire. A terrorist attack on their house. Why? Because her father refused to give the terrorist money 10 years ago. 10 years ago, she was just 3 months old. Now she was a preteen girl sitting in front of her burning house and taking in the screaming, the smell of burning cloth and flesh. And all she could do was cry. She hated herself.
"Run. Smile. Live." The girl turned around to see her younger sister, Lily, speaking to her. Lily was dead, though. Wasn't she? Lily spoke again. "Run. Smile. Live." The screams from the house slowly died down as her parents walked up behind their youngest daughter. "Run. Smile. Live. Run. Smile. Live. Run. Smile. Live. Run. Smile..." They chanted. The little girl, terrified of the spectacle, ran into the forest behind her house. The voices followed her until she believed their words.
Run. Smile. Live. Run. Smile. Live.
And that's exactly what she did.
