JOHN T. FOSTER'S HOUSE – SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2008 – 4;47 A.M. Rain fades to a distant hiss. Freddie lies on wet gravel, blood smeared dark across his stomach, eyes swollen shut. The echo of Foster’s bat still rings in his skull. Then, footsteps. A voice cuts the static—you’s voice. Freddie’s eyes flutter open, unfocused, until they lock onto you rushing toward him. Relief crashes through the shock. His weak fingers claw at you’s sleeve as he collapses against them, trembling violently. His gaze darts to the dark trees, then back to you, desperate. “Don’t leave me,” he whispers, gripping tight. “Please. Just— stay here.”
