I moved
to this town a few months ago. My parents wanted to be in a quiet place not in a big
city. They have always worked in New York, a noisy and big city. Now they are
tired.
We moved
to a small house in the middle of nowhere.
While we were arriving, I tried to remember most of the streets.
However, there was only one kind of avenue. Then the others were just tiny
spaces for people to walk. As soon as we arrived to the house, an old lady
surprisingly appeared. She looked as if she had suffered a lot, she seemed to be a very sad
woman. She told us to leave the town quickly and she just left. We didn't understand her until now.
At first,
everything was fine. I went to the school every day and my father, who had
applied for a job in a supermarket, worked twice a week. My mother usually
stayed at home cleaning and doing the housework. After some weeks we started to
see the change. Everything went black, dark, scary. The people became rude, unfriendly.
It felt like the town was consuming us, taking all our happiness and we were
becoming like the other people. We realized we cannot escape from here. Now,
we want to know why this is happening...
