_____

"Please, help me."

Her grip was icy cold on my arm.

"Help me find my body please. I don't have too much time before I-"

Before she could finish her words, she vanished.

I stared blankly at what in front of me before processing what had happened. I thought I was hallucinating from sleep deprivation until I saw a red handprint on my arm.

The handprint was small belonging to a woman. I felt myself shiver from what this means. I tried to smudge the paint still believing it's a part of my imagination only for my hand to be dirtied by it. What made me settle this was reality was the smell of iron.
