Sidetracked (Mindf*ck, #2)

by S.T. Abby

Okay, so when I was rehearsing all this, never did I plan to face down the FBI.

Do I need to kill her? No. No. I can’t kill her. Not unless she’s a rapist. Any chance she’s a rapist?

I can remember a time that I was afraid of the dark. Now even the snakes fear me.

Shit. I should have at least gotten her some water. This is why I can’t take care of her myself. Well, that and I’m sure it’s not wise for a monster to raise a child. Lindy will make her loving. I’ll turn her into a knife-throwing killer.

“It’s often easier for someone to believe evil can’t exist inside someone they love, than to admit they’ve failed someone who should be more important. We see it too often. The blind eye effect is what we call it,”

But they’re looking for a monster. Not a girl who loves red. Not a girl who is falling in love. Not a girl who died ten years ago.
