shocked at how strong she was.
She dragged his kicking
body into the parking lot and around the back of the shack. When
they reached the water she began to sing, Jared’s body became limp.
She tossed him like a rag doll towards the water, where she watched
him sink.
As she turned to go back
inside Aiden turned the corner.
“What are you doing out
here?” He asked.
“Where’s Jared I saw his
truck out front.”
Esilee bit her lip, she
never wanted to hurt Aiden; he was her one saving grace, her one
good thing. So she did the only thing she knew, she sang, and her
voice washed away his memories until all he knew was
her.
And while it meant that he
would belong to her forever, it also meant she would have to live
never knowing if that’s the life he would have chosen on his
own.
That night she drowned her
sorrow in the souls of eleven men while Aiden slept soundly in
their bed.
Esilee kept him, loved
him, and sang to him well into his 90’s. When she could finally see
death in his eyes she led him to the water and sang to him his
favorite song. He followed her fire red hair down into the depths
of the swamp. Her voice was the only sound he ever heard, and it
was the last sound as well.

To Jimmy, for always
helping me with my writer’s block and giving me the best ideas for
my stories. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Today is my first day at
my new school. My parents moved us halfway across the country for
dad’s new job. Not a big deal, right? It wouldn’t have been, but
it’s my senior year of high school. My senior year and I have to
start at a new school. As hard as it is going to be, I decide I’m
going to make the best of it.
I pull into the parking
lot. It is already getting full. Lovely. I’m going to be invisible
here, I think to myself as I glance around the lot. I knew it was a
big school, but I hadn’t realized just how big until seeing it now.
I get out of the car and walk slowly across the lot towards the
school. No one says anything to me, but I can feel everyone’s eyes
on me. Talk about awkward.
I had no idea what it
would feel like to be the new kid. I have always gone to the same
school, with the same kids, since pre-school. This is all new to
me. I pull one of the glass doors open and walk inside to find the
office. The receptionist sends me to see the principal, Mr.
Breymann, right away.
He looks up from his desk
when I enter. “Ah, you must be Emaline Quan.”
I nod, too nervous to say
anything else in response.
“Good, good, I’ve asked
one of your fellow classmates to show you around. Just one moment,
and I’ll pull her out of homeroom.” He picks up the phone and dials
a number. “Please send Victoria Barrowman to my office.” There is a
slight pause. Then he says, “Thank you.”
A few minutes later, a
tall, dark haired girl waltzes into the room. She looks at me and
smiles. “You must be Emaline. I’m Victoria.” She extends her hand
to me.
I shake it gingerly, and
say, “Thank you for offering to show me around.”
“It’s no problem at all. I
know how overwhelming it can be. I was the new girl back in 10th
grade. C’mon, I’ll show you to homeroom.” Then she turns to Mr.
Breymann. “It’s alright for us to go?”
“Oh, yes, of course. I
hope your first day goes well, Emaline. If you need anything, my
door is always open.” He gives me a warm smile.
Victoria and I walk
towards homeroom in silence. It is just so awkward for me. I don’t
know what to say to her. It isn’t that I’m shy; I just really don’t
know what to say.
“This is where we have
homeroom,” Victoria says, pointing to a door. She pushes it open
and we walk in.
An older lady looks up at
us when we make our appearance. Her name is Mrs. Tsugane, at least
that’s what my class schedule states. “Class, this is Emaline Quan.
She moved here from… Where is it you moved
