“am…I lied.” Iconleu. ‘1 told them that was going to a friend’s house.”

“A friend’s house?” he questions. Which friend?”

I’m surprised that he even wants to know this small detail. Why should it matter which friend!

Why did I feel the need to protect her today? My primary

mission was to guide her towards the candle; it was a simple

test: The burning sensation would have stopped on its own

even without my interference, it would have taken a long

time, but it still would have stopped.

So then why did I rush to help her?

Every time I close my eyes, I hear her screams; I’ve

listened to cries before, but none has ever managed to flip

my insides as hers did.

“Fuck” i slam the knife down onto the wooden table

and mumble some more as I get up.

I thought that I was more prepared for her arrival than
