FOUR.

I awoke the next morning with a start. I had been dreaming violent, bloody dreams. Though, it wasn’t so much just a dream as it was the most brutally violent and vivid nightmare I’d ever had.

I had been walking around the town square. The weather was cold but not freezing. The entire place looked abandoned. No cars were parked along Broadway. Nobody walked the streets. The sound of silence hung heavy in the air.

Atop one dead tree, a woman sat on a heavy branch with a crow perched atop her shoulder. The cawing of the crow broke the silence deafeningly.

Looking up at the strange duo in the tree I saw that it was no ordinary woman. She was glowing. Her gown and her hair were bright white, and her pale face was a picture of such beauty that it rivaled Cassie’s. She said nothing, but I knew in my subconscious mind that she was urging me away from something. What that something was remained a mystery. I looked away from her to see if any other sign of life was to been seen, and found none. When I looked back up to the woman in white, she had vanished along with her crow.

I explored all around in hopes of finding someone or something to explain to me why the town was deserted.

Town hall was abandoned. The bank was closed and locked up. Old Joe’s Record Store was boarded up with plywood. No children played in the parks and no dogs ran around chasing one another in the dog park.

I don’t know what it was at first, but something was drawing me to the church on Broadway. At first, when I realized where I was headed, I figured it was just because in movies church is where the townspeople congregate when horrible things happen. The town being abandoned painted such a scenario in my head. So maybe I’d find some people there and get some answers.

But when the thought of being at church when I didn’t have to be had set in, I realized I was without question being pulled there by a force beyond my control.

I abhorred church. I was only ten, so it was for no reason other than that I was bored to death when I was dragged there on random Sunday mornings when my mother would for some reason feel the need to go. If she wasn’t making me go, there was no reason that I would ever have even stepped within a hundred feet of one of those places.

But still, something beckoned me closer and closer.

As I approached the front stairs of the church, the sky became dark. Day had become night in a flash. Still I had not realized I was in a dream. Though the things happening around me were bizarre and defied all logic, they were real.

The church had been abandoned for quite some time, and there were many rumors of ghosts and hauntings. It would seem nonsensical to try to find people
