Chapter 8

• October 30th, Present
• Arianna opened her eyes and squinted to check the clock. She still had an hour before she needed to move, but she couldn’t get back to sleep. It was always like this on this particular date, each year. She was like an excited child waiting for Christmas to hurry up and get here. Only for Arianna it was Halloween she couldn’t wait for.
• Flipping back the covers, she sat up. Groaning, she reached down and pulled her right leg to untangle it from the covers. One more day, she thought to herself, and people will remember you for twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes! After all the years that had passed, she finally saw this as one day to be someone to remember. To be someone who shared her smile and would hopefully bring a smile to other faces.
