Prologue

It was past 8:30 and nobody was home, except Judy. But judging by the atmosphere, that didn’t seem like a good thing. While standing in the living room, she remained completely still. She looked all around and acted as if she had amnesia. For whatever reason, she then started breathing immensely. Immediately after that, she went straight over to the bedroom. After opening the door, the first thing she did (upon entering) was go into one of the night stands. She then pulled out what appeared to be a revolver.

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

barb7604: Very good story, but glad you are writing a longer version. The end came way to quick without any of the previous drama
