This night was especially cold.
The evening wind sent shivers down her spine. Elizabeth was returning home after witnessing another murder."Disgusting," she thought, standing in the bathroom mirror, trying to wash away the weight of this day. Images of this evening, her father's empty gaze and her mother's strained smile, floated into her memory.
How can you stay calm when your parents are serial killers? How can you protect your loved ones and yourself from this truth? Elizabeth tried to find answers to her questions, but each time she found herself at a dead end.
The girl knew that her life literally depended on her silence. It weighed on her, and more than anything in the world she dreamed of freeing herself from the shackles of her family. She often imagined leaving the city searching for a new life, but she did not know how to live with the awareness of what was happening.
Carol, her friend, her only salvation from obsessive thoughts. And so, despite what happened, she goes to her again to escape from this reality.
Her laughter, her sincere look, her simplicity, and even the way she spoke - all this gave Elizabeth hope that she could live an ordinary life. Thanks to her, she forgot about everything, even if only for a short time.
