I had been awake that night.
Had I heard something? Footsteps… anything?
I had.
I had been awake at 2:42 am. I had seen my father’s car, just coasting down the hill. Headlights off. I had seen the car just sit there for a while, him in it. And as he got out, I had seen the gleam of a gun,before he quickly hid dropped it into the car.
That was the night my mother went missing.
