Chapter 20

“Daddy!”

The scream echoed through the house. Angela stormed through the door, tossed her purse on the couch and stomped through the kitchen and down the basement stairs. “Daddy!’ she called out as she half-ran through the basement, “He loves someone else.”

Through tear-filled eyes, she found the key on the post and struggled to put it into the lock, ineffectually wiping her face. Sniffing loudly, she took a deep shuddering breath and threw the ramshackle door open. She blindly reached for the overhead light’s pull-string and snapped it on. Throwing herself to the ground at the feet of the mummified corpse, she put her head in her hands and sobbed.

“He lied to me. He used me. He doesn’t want me. He wants her.”

She turned her face up to look at the eyeless sockets, mascara running down her face in rivulets. “Why did he lie to me, daddy? Why didn’t he want me?”

She placed her head against the leathery knees, poking through the worn khaki pants. “She was the one who did it,” she said, wiping the last of the tears from her face. “He wanted me, but she was the one who did it.”

She smiled. “I can still have him. I just need to take him when she’s not there. Once he’s alone with me, I know he’ll love me better.”

She sighed and closed her eyes, exhausted by her tears. “I’m tired now, Daddy.”

She snuggled closer to the corpse and fell asleep.

The skeletal hand lifted and brown, leathery fingers stroked her hair tenderly. The skull shifted position and looked down on the sleeping woman. Sleep now, baby, Daddy will take care of you.
