I couldn’t believe what I was hearing with my own ears.
Someone had come into our living room and murdered my mother when I was 7 years old. My dad had planned a romantic dinner for the two of them, since it was their 15th anniversary; Valentine’s Day of 1993. Consequently, when he found out what had happened, he was an awful mess. He avoided work, he started drinking again, and he swore to me that he will find the monster that killed my mum, but the killer also stated that he will find me and kill me too. When mum died, my heart broke too like dad’s, but the person who murdered my mum was jailed with a life sentence. That was only a month ago.

He exclaimed that this was because he felt that he had the responsibility to protect me from the monster that killed my mum, since they are still free from conviction. Once every fortnight my dad would go to work and since I don’t like living in a two-story house all by myself, I would invite one of my friends to stay over with me so I wasn’t lonely, and we’d play Crash Bandicoot all night.
It was Valentine’ Day 2001; My mum’s 8th anniversary of her death. Dad was out for work in a small town called Port Augusta in South Australia, so I invited my friend Jonathan to stay while he was gone. It was four days after he left, and he was due back two days ago. I couldn’t find out where he was and I could call him, which lead to my anxiety levels shooting up to the sky.
