A Personal Experience By Amber

Rae never learned how to love a man. It was said it was a family curse: the women in her family would never learn to love a man. Her experience with males was traumatic. Going through years of being bullied, hated, falling victim to hazing, abusive boyfriends, rape, and neglect left her cold-hearted towards men. Finally finding a husband, her marriage just trapped her. It was said that her husband once beat her so badly, it left her eyes permanently damaged. Her eyes were so sensitive to light that she could only go out at night. She finally left her husband, but she found herself destitute. Finding it hard to get a job, she started babysitting the neighborhood kids for money.

One late afternoon in October, two toddlers came up missing. The whole town had formed a search party. Within a day of searching and nothing turning up, the mob became angry. An angry townsman mentioned Rae’s name. The whole crowd became furious. The mob made its way to Rae’s house. Once there, they killed Rae. It is said that during the night, Rae’s spirit haunts the town, killing anyone who dares to look upon her face.
