Chapter 2

As Sara opened her eyes she immediately knew that something was wrong. There was no obvious signs but in her gut she knew. She rolled over to see if her husband was still asleep but he was gone. This in itself was not surprising, as he often went to work before she woke up. What was disturbing was the fact that his side of the bed looked like he had never slept in it. Even though she was already concerned she did not immediately jump out of bed. Her mind still could not accept the fact that something was wrong. As she looked at the ceiling trying to figure out what was going on something else struck her as strange. There was no sound coming from the house. The three kids never slept in. At this time at least one of them would have the tv blaring in the living room waking the rest of the house. Sara threw the blankets aside and dashed from the room.

“Lena, Carol, Cindy, are y’all awake!” She yelled despite how close there room was. She was only greeted by silence. Throwing open the door she charged into the room like a person possessed. She was not even trying to hide the panic in her voice. She threw off the covers of a full sized bed only to see be greeted by an empty bed. Things were getting even weirder when she noticed that there was only one bed in the room.
