One night,Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches,appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then,miraculously,after forty-eight hours,she came back. But she couldn't,or wouldn't,say what had happened to her.
Something happened to my sister. I can't explain what. I just know that when she came back,she wasn't the same. She wasn't my Annie.
I didn't want to admit,even to myself,that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister.
