“Fuck!” Rowan sighed as she dug through her pockets, frantically searching for any sign of the missing key’s she’d realized were no longer there. “I really don’t want to walk all the way back to the damn library...” She had been mumbling to herself, not realizing anyone was around as she stood outside her apartment, glancing up at the second story window that she knew she’d left unlocked, debating if she should make the daring effort to climb. “...yeah right.” She laughed at herself. “Nice thought, Ro. But you’re not sixteen anymore. Clearly you have a death wish.” With a sigh, she turned on her heels, about to make the long walk back to get her keys.

The jarring, harmonic chirping of the crickets, accompanied by the soothing sound of the sea was the only thin Elizabeth heard as she stepped out of the door. It was past midnight, yet the street was easy to see due to the countless of stars that were illuminating the night sky. As she walked past the other houses, she noticed a shadowy figure out of the corner of her eye. “Trouble falling asleep?”, she asked while turning to the person.
