=DAY ONE=

I have been counting down the days to pick up my sister at home and take her to the amusement park that we had been giving tickets to attend. This was the perfect opportunity to make up for the time we had lost together being away at college. I felt like we have become so distant, despite the weekly phone calls. I couldn't wait to catch up.

I was driving on a road that felt like a thousand miles until I reached my house that felt so foreign to me. It was a small worn down home, covered it colorful flowers and surrounded by a white fence. I walked up to the door, eager to see not only Madison, but my little sister Kate. I heard Kate was doing so well, learning in school and finally catching onto being some-what independent. It always killed me to know that I was miles away from home and it was impossible for me to take care of her. I touched my right pocket with a feeling of comfort that filled my body by the crinkled letter Kate had given to me months ago.

I knocked on the door and Kate answered. I picked her up and turned her in circles, covering my face with a huge smile to not only notice Madison in the distance. Madison screamed and sprinted towards me. "I've missed you so much! Your hair is so long and you need to shave that beard you got coming". This was her typical first comment after seeing me for almost 4 months. We headed out the door, waving, once again, to our father and little sister. We buckled into our cars and set off for the amusement park.

=DAY TWO= READ MADISON FIRST "Mads, chill. You're always trying to sike yourself out." I ignored her creepy comments, she was always scared about something, whether she claims there is a ghost, a serial killer, or just a bug on her knee. I ran over to the first roller coaster that was supposed to be the most thrilling. We ran into the line, Madison slowly trailing behind me. The line was completely clear, in fact, the whole place was clear. We saw maybe two people all together and then there was just us, surrounded by only roller coasters. I shook the creepy thought out of my head and laughed a little.

We ran up to the entrance and went to scan our wrist bands that allowed us to go on all the rides. I wonder how many tickets were on this thing. I put my wrist under the little red light and it started beeping. "Why isn't this working" "Let me try," Madison's wrist band glowed under the red light and the machine soon began to beep. "Maybe we have to activate these or some shit, let's go ask"

We walked around the park which felt like hours to try and find some type of help but literally nothing was around. I felt empty, like this was some type of dream and this feeling inside me told me that we shouldn't be standing where we are right now.

=DAY THREE= To be honest, I couldn't stop thinking about the reasons why there was no signal around here. I mean, I have an iphone... It's very rare that there isn't even wifi available. Mads' head was still resting on my shoulder as I looked around at our surroundings. Who wouldn't be nervous aboutt this place... There was practically nobody here. I saw some people pass me occasionally but that was about it.

All I wanted to do was talk to my dad and my little sister. It hasn't been this long that I hadn't been able to make sure little Kate was okay. I reached down to my pocket to reread the letter that Kate had written to me weeks ago, it always gave me hope.

It wasn't there. I reached into my back pocket, then my side pockets, but it was gone. I jumped up, tears slowly filling my eyes. "Mads, the letter is gone". //I heard her from my room, she was crying and screaming. My heart was pounding and I ran out of my bed as I followed the sound of her weep. She was laying there on the couch with her head in her arms. I sat down next to her, holding her, scratching her back and calming her down. "Mason, why do I have to be different". Tears filled my eyes and my heart dropped, "You're just as beautiful as the rest".// //"But everybody knows. They all know I'm not like them, they don't accept me. Why does nobody like me?"// //"Katie, we love you, your family loves you, your sister loves you, your dad loves you"// //I wiped the tears from her damp eyes as water began to run down my own.// //"I'll always love you Kate" I whispered under my breath.// We went out retracing our tracks of where it could have fallen out. We went back to that rollercoaster that we were at before where our wrist bands weren't working. The area was blocked out with yellow warning tape and the tracks were all messed up. Two carts that appeared to be apart of the ride were slammed together but there was nobody in them... No people, no construction workers, no ambulences, and, most importantly, no letter.

=DAY FOUR= read madison firsth I couldn't help but be scare shitless about this place. I mean, an electric fence? I didn't even think people used them anymore. It just freaked me out to know that there was a crash several hours ago and now I find out that there is someone or something trying to keep us all inside. I just didn't want to die, to be honest. I'm young... Why do I want to be killed already? I still have a lot to live for and I wasn't ready yet.

Me and Mads try to avoid those fences at all cost. We walked around, pretty much looking by our side every time to make sure some type of grim reaper wasn't standing right next to us. "Mads, if I die I f*ing love you" I laughed, trying to shake off all the awkwardness. "You're seriously going to make a joke outta this". "I mean, we have nothing else to live for". I mean I was right, we are ALL going to die here. I guess you could call me a debby downer but how can we avoid it? I don't know who is doing this but whoever it is better f off.

=DAY FIVE= I'm going to be honest, I was getting kind of annoyed with this place. Everyone here is from a different state, some are even alone. What made this guy or creature or whatever the f*** it is, pick us, out of every person in the whole world? Did Madison and I do something to deserve a letter to some slaughtering amusement park or are we just the dumbasses that actually fell for the free ticket. "Let's go back to the hotel, I'm tired" I said to Madison. "Fine, I guess we do need some sleep". We walked back to the hotel and as we walked into the entrance I looked to my right and there was a man with a black suit on that was worn out and tattered. He looked almost homeless and out of place, like he had nowhere else to go. On my left was the reception desk and a grumpy old woman appeared annoyed and stressed out, leaning on her elbows mad at the world. This hotel even gave me the chills, who has a hotel in the middle of an amusement park? Exactly, a man who wants to keep people hostage in a new park. I shook the feelings out of my head and went into the elevator with Madison. It was cold in there, goosebumps began to form all over my body. The walls were replaced by mirrors and the ceiling was black, Madison pushed in the button for floor 4 and the elevator began to go up until it stopped. The lights began to flicker and the area became darker. "Wha wha what is going on Mas?". "I don't know mads". I tried to open up the doors to the machine but they wouldn't budge, I looked for the elevator phone and the emergency bell button but they weren't there. "Mads, this is the only elevator without an emergency phone."

=DAY SIX= //I was late, I know that my coach was going to kill me. "Mom speed up, I can't show up 10 minutes late like last time". My mom hit the gas, accelerating down the highway approaching a light that of course was red. The light was right there, shining bright bred infront our eyes but my mom didn't stop. There was a light to my left, the brightest light that I have ever seen before my sight went black.// //I woke up in an unfimiliar bed, where was I? I look to my right to see my father holding Madison's hand and Kate coloring in her new book she had gotten from Christmas. My head was pouding, I rested in on my hand to feel a bandage wrapped around my forehead. I was confused, lost and scared. The memory was faint at the moment. I could see the fear in my dad's eyes. Where was my mother?// =DAY SEVEN= //"Is she here", I asked my father.// //"No Mas, she is not here anymore". My heart dropped and the world around me fell silent. A feeling of guilt fused through my veins. This is my fault. My fault that I was so worried about what my coach would think rather then worrying about the life of my very own mother. My eyes filled with water and I began to shiver. My Dad held my hand but it failed to comfort me. The tears began to rush and my breath began to shorten. I ripped away from the hospitalized bed and threw all my bandages on the ground, pushing my hands against my head and continued to cry histarically. Mads tried to hold me and stop me. I pused her off and my anger and guilt only got worse.// //I woke up, back in the bed once again. My Dad was in the hallway with the nurse, I could barely hear what they were speaking of. "He needs to stay still or his head injury will get worse. I don't want him fainting again." My eyes closed and my mind drifted off.//

=DAY EIGHT= //I woke up once again, as pain was pressing against my forehead. I soon realized that a bandage has been wrapped around my head once again but it still hurt, insanely. All I wanted to do is talk to my father.// //"Dad, where's mom?"// //"Mas, your mom has passed". His face looked confused, knowing that I had already asked this before. I know that she has passed, but it was so surprising, that I thought it was a dream.//

//I kept repeating those words in my head and I couldn't believe what had happened. I couldn't help but be guilty for this situation all over again as if this hadn't already happened, "I could have saved her" were the only words that I could understand as of now and it's the phrase that I'll never forget.//
