Brave and VulnerableSammy stood looking puzzled a moment. She keeps circling the room before she comes and sits bravely across from him her legs pulled underneath her. She watched his profile mostly cast in shadows.“Your first question sir?” she suddenly teased.“What’s the deal with Victor?” Peter watched her, wondering about her truth.“Let’s drop the cat and mouse act of earlier. This silly plan of mine would probably explode in my face. You keep asking me why I married him. I don’t know. One moment he creates a moment of trust then I just follow that feeling but I quickly learn he would betray me each time.”“That’s a serious risk you are taking Sammy. The man can be unpredictable when you least expect it.”Sammy again smiles when she heard the worry in his voice.“I know. That’s a risk I decided to take. Like I said before, you walked i

CautiousSammy sneaked away from the house, strangely cautious that her godparents not be aware of her actions. Her whole behavior strikes her as very odd making her feel off balance. She stood in the middle of the road looking at the very ordinary house but all really isn’t what it appears to be.“I don’t know who to question?” she said softly to herself.The question has barely left her mouth when she has the odd notion to turn and looked up the road.“That car…” she whispered concerned.“It seems to follow me,” she turned and starts walking down the road. She stopped and quickly looked backwards. The car was definitely following her. Feeling frightened she run the length of the street turning the corner and quickly run into the graveyard seeking immediate cover.It feels like her heart was beating too fast while she waited.“Sammy Hoffman, why are you hiding from

Missing someone“What happened, Charlie?”“You were not in Cape Town. I didn’t know where to go. I thought home would be the safest place. I was mistaken however.”“I had an accident. I lost some of my memory. What on earth is going on? Who was in the car following us?”Sammy watches her intently waiting for her answer as truth between them.“I lost my way again, Sammy. I made such a mess and saw something I shouldn’t have. You are always the safest place to run too but now I have put you in jeopardy. You really don’t need that.”“We’ll figure things out, Charlie.”“When I went to search for you I found a man and messed in his private life. If he catches me there will be hell to pay. However he certainly is handsome.”Both women become quiet when they hear footsteps on gravel. Charlie pushes Sammy deeper into the overhanging

ThoughtfulSammy become aware that someone was looking at her. Sitting upright in the middle of her bed her eyes searched the bedroom carefully. The space was darkened except for the moon that peeked through the half drawn curtains.Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary but she still feels the intensity of the eyes. She definitely wasn’t alone. Throwing the blankets from her body she reaches out to switch her night light on. Pulling on her gown she stands in the middle of the room frightened but strangely stubborn. She tries sensing from where the ominous looks are coming from. Her door was shut so there must be something else out of character in here.The watchful eyes continued looking at her. The very arrogance of it all made her angry.Looking around in her bedroom, everything was basic in its necessity. Moving towards her wardrobe she opens the door wide clothes that apparently were hers was hanging there. Reaching deeper inside she

Fragmented memoriesLifting her head she listened. She heard the crying of a baby. Her stumbling feet took a walk into the depths of the smoking house. She saw through child eyes the furtive movements of two adults trying to flee from the house. Her mind took a spinning tumble, her eyes turned towards the lightening kaleidoscope within the darken sky. For what felt like an eternity she just stared into the sky…Her mind was spinning again finding her as a teenager in her bedroom, intrigued with the picture against the wall. A closer look and she saw two eyes looking back at her, their intent clearly menacing. Their hands were reaching for her wrapping around her throat. She struggled before she saw her body rolling down a hill before landing in a ditch. She stood once she scrambled back onto her feet. Everything was blindly dark then too starkly white. This makes the confusion spin rampantly through her mind. Looking at the twirling world she tried her best to
