I just finished the book, Someone Is Always Watching by Kelly Armstrong. As you may expect this is a horror book. I found an interesting horror scene that gave me goosebumps.
Dear Blythe,
You clicked the link, right? After making absolutely sure it seemed legit, of course. Did you check the URL? Type it in? Be certain I wasn’t scamming you?
I’m not scamming you. I wish I was, but I’m not.
So, you read the article, and tgen you went looking for more, didn’t you? And the only thing you found was that second article. WHiips, it’s all a mistake! Poor kid just accidentally died in a field, naked, with his throat slit!
Yes, none of that was in the article. But that’s what happened. I can send crime-scene photos, but I’ll spare you that. For now, you need to take my word for it.
It wasn’t an accident. Wasn’t a perv, either. The police dropped it because they couldn’t very well say that the murderer was an eight-year-old boy. Clearly, the kid didn’t know what he was doing.
How do you slit a boy’s throat, strip him to make it look like a perv, and not knowing what you’re doing?
You don’t.
He knew exactly what he was doing. Killing a kid who had the nerve to be nice to the guy’s little sister. That was the dead boy’s crime. His only crime. He was an eighth-grader who was mentoring a second-grade girl, and her brother killed him.
She saw it. The sister, that is. Got there after the kid was dead, and she saw what her brother had done.
Can you imagibe what that was like for her? How much it changed her? Damaged her?
Do you know any damaged girls, Blythe?
I think you do. (p63-65)
This whole part of horror kind of traumatized me and it can connect to the real world. This part makes me feel like the person who sent this email is some kind of stalker. Since there are more emails sent by an anonymous person. This connects to the title that the authors created.
