Short filmTranscript
00:00Mom is lying on the ground. Red water is everywhere on the floor.
00:04My baby brother came out of mom's belly.
00:06My teacher said red water is blood. If it keeps flowing, people die.
00:10I don't want mom to die.
00:12Just a few minutes ago, dad lost his temper and left.
00:16Jack, I don't feel well. Can you take me out of the amusement park instead?
00:22Pushed mom away impatiently.
00:23I'm heading out right now.
00:25If you're sick, go to the hospital. Telling me doesn't help.
00:28Help. Please.
00:30I promised Whippy I wouldn't be late for her birthday.
00:33You won't be jealous of a child, will you?
00:37I was wearing my little backpack, happily thinking mom was really taking me to the amusement park.
00:44But now, my backpack is lying in a pool of blood.
00:48Everything is a scary bright red.
00:51Mom. Mom, please wake up. Mom. Mom.
00:56The crying wakes mommy up.
00:58Mia, give me my phone.
00:59Mommy calls 911 first.
01:01She tells them where we live and what is happening.
01:02The person on the phone says help is coming and tells her to hang on.
01:05Then, mommy tells daddy.
01:07He doesn't pick up until the third time.
01:09What now?
01:09I'm in labor early.
01:11Please come home now.
01:12Chloe, stop acting.
01:13You were fine when I left.
01:14How are you suddenly having the baby?
01:15He screams about how mommy lied years ago and ruined a woman named Megan's life.
01:19He says he is helping Megan and her daughter Winnie now to pay for mommy's sins.
01:23No, I never did those things.
01:26But daddy doesn't hear her.
01:27The screen is already black and hung up.
01:28Mommy. Mommy.
01:30Mommy's eyes roll back.
01:31She looks like she's in so much pain.
01:33I'm shaking.
01:34Mommy.
01:34She wakes up a little.
01:36Don't be scared, Mia.
01:38I'll call your uncle.
01:39Daddy won't help.
01:40Uncle will.
01:41She picks up the phone again.
01:42I hear a tiny cry from my baby brother.
01:44Mia, go get a blanket for the baby.
01:46I run to my room and grab my favorite little blanket.
01:49But when I come back to cover my brother, mommy has fallen asleep.
01:53Then, a voice comes from the phone.
01:55It's uncle.
01:56Uncle, please come.
01:57Mommy is bleeding so much.
01:59Please save her.
02:00Mia, put your mother on the phone.
02:03But, mommy is sleeping.
02:06Chloe.
02:07You've gone too far.
02:08You're even teaching Mia to lie now?
02:13Jack already called me.
02:14He said you're just jealous because he's spending time at Winnie's birthday party.
02:19How can you be so mean?
02:20You're even trying to ruin a child's birthday.
02:25We are not going to let you repeat what happened a few years ago.
02:29The screen goes dark.
02:31I don't know how to unlock her phone.
02:32So, I grab my toy watch.
02:34I call uncle over and over, but he keeps hanging up on me.
02:37I don't know what to do.
02:40Then, there is a knock at the door.
02:43The doctors are finally here.
02:45One, two, go.
02:48The doctors lifted mommy and my little brother onto the ambulance.
02:53They took me to the hospital too.
02:55Mommy was rushed into a small room.
02:57So many doctors were running in and out.
03:00I stood by the door, peeking inside.
03:02I just wanted to know if mommy was okay.
03:05I wanted to know if she was awake.
03:07A nice lady saw me and led me to a chair.
03:10Be a good girl.
03:12We are trying to save your mommy and your brother.
03:15Just sit here and stay calm, okay?
03:18I nodded.
03:21Where is the family?
03:22Then, a man ran out and asked the lady.
03:27She pointed at me.
03:31Are you kidding me?
03:32She's just a kid.
03:34The mother is in bad shape.
03:35We might have to perform a hysterectomy to save her.
03:38The baby is even worse.
03:39He needs to go to a special hospital right now or he won't make it.
03:42We need an adult to make these choices fast.
03:45Find a grown up now or we might lose them both.
03:47I didn't understand all the big words, but I understood the last part.
03:52Lose them?
03:57Mommy once told me that losing someone means they die.
04:02And dying means you never see them again.
04:10I'm never going to see mommy again.
04:14I started crying as loud as I could.
04:17I was so scared.
04:18The nice doctor grabbed some tissues to wipe my tears.
04:22Don't be scared, little one.
04:23Are my mommy and brother going to die?
04:25No, they won't.
04:26We are going to do everything we can to save them.
04:28Do you know your dad's phone number?
04:30I did.
04:30On my first day of school, mommy made me memorize both her number and daddy's.
04:34She told me if a stranger ever tried to take me away, I had to call them first.
04:38I told her the number and she called him right away.
04:41Daddy always picks up fast, unless it's mommy calling.
04:45Hello?
04:46Who is this?
04:47I heard daddy ask.
04:48The doctor told him who she was and repeated everything the other doctor had said.
04:53What's wrong?
04:54You need to get to the hospital right now.
04:56Otherwise, both the mother and the baby are in big danger.
05:00As soon as she said that, I heard a chair crash to the floor on the other end.
05:03Which hospital?
05:05Where are you?
05:06Is Chloe really in trouble?
05:08That's strange.
05:08I just saw her at the amusement park a minute ago.
05:10I recognized that voice.
05:13It was Winnie's mom, Megan.
05:18Mommy's name is Chloe and hers is Megan.
05:21Mommy says Megan is her stepsister.
05:24Mommy doesn't like her at all.
05:27She and daddy fight about Megan all the time.
05:31After they fight, mommy always holds me and cries.
05:34She tells me Megan is a bad person and that I should stay away from her.
05:40But daddy says Megan is kind and he says Winnie is an angel.
05:44He buys Winnie teddy bears and pretty dresses.
05:47He even makes little cakes for her by hand.
05:50Daddy has never done any of those things for me.
05:53Mommy always tells me daddy loves me, but I know the truth.
05:57He loves Winnie more than me.
06:00Suddenly, daddy's angry voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
06:03He was yelling so loud the phone started to buzz and crackle.
06:06I almost fell for it.
06:07How much did Chloe pay you?
06:07What money?
06:08What are you talking about?
06:09Tell her to stop acting.
06:10I fell for her tricks years ago.
06:12But I'm not falling for them again.
06:14Not a chance.
06:14Sir, if you don't help, both patients are going to die.
06:18Then let them die.
06:20Stop bothering me.
06:25He hung up.
06:26The doctor's eyes turned red with anger.
06:32But she held back her anger and asked me.
06:36Do you have anyone else's number?
06:39I gave her my uncle's number.
06:42The number you have dialed is phishing.
06:45Please try again later.
06:46But it wouldn't go through.
06:48Maybe daddy had already talked to him again.
06:55Any news?
06:56The man from before came back and asked if we reached anyone.
07:00When the doctor told him what happened, he was shocked.
07:03How can any husband be like that?
07:05The doctor nudged him and pointed at me.
07:08He lowered his voice.
07:10What do we do now?
07:11Without a signature, no one dares to perform the surgery.
07:14And we can't move the baby.
07:16The doctor thought for a second.
07:19I'm going to call the police.
07:21Follow me.
07:26She took me to her break room and gave me a cup of water and some snacks.
07:30She told me she was going to save my mommy and that I should wait there.
07:35Then she hurried out with her phone.
07:38But I still remembered what the man said.
07:40Even if we call the police, it will take five or six hours.
07:44These patients might not even last three.
07:46Mommy and my brother only have three hours left.
07:49Only daddy can save them.
07:52Once I realized that, I climbed down from my chair.
07:56I have to go find daddy.
07:59It's getting dark.
08:01I know daddy must be at Winnie's house for her birthday.
08:05I ran out of the hospital, hopped into a taxi, and went straight there.
08:12I knocked on the door for a long time before someone finally answered.
08:16When the door opened, daddy looked at me in total shock.
08:19Mia?
08:20What are you doing here?
08:20Where's your mother?
08:21Daddy, please.
08:22We have to go to the hospital.
08:24Mommy and my brother only have three hours left.
08:26Did your mother tell you to say that?
08:28Since when did you learn how to lie?
08:30I shook my head, sobbing.
08:32No, I'm not lying.
08:34I knew your mother would find a way to ruin Winnie's birthday.
08:37I'm taking you home right now.
08:38No, daddy.
08:39He carried me toward the door and pulled out his phone to call a car.
08:42No.
08:42I started screaming.
08:44Mommy and the baby are really sick.
08:46They are at the hospital.
08:48The doctor said if you don't come in three hours, they will die.
08:52My screaming brought Uncle and Megan out of the house.
08:54Uncle stopped.
08:55He looked at daddy and said,
08:57Jack, Mia isn't the type of kid to lie.
09:00Maybe you should just go to the hospital and check?
09:04Daddy looked down at me, looking unsure.
09:07Even Megan spoke up.
09:08Go ahead, Jack.
09:09If you're late, she's going to throw another one of her little tantrums.
09:12Daddy started to give in.
09:14Fine, then I...
09:15Daddy, don't go!
09:16You promised to cook for me and spend the whole day with me.
09:19You're a big meanie if you break your promise.
09:24Isn't he my ditty?
09:25Since when did he become her daddy?
09:30Daddy put me down and picked up Winnie instead.
09:32Daddy's sorry, princess.
09:34I'll go make those honey BBU rabs you love right now.
09:38He started walking back into the house.
09:40I grabbed his shirt.
09:41Daddy, what about Mommy?
09:43Eat first.
09:44We'll go together after we eat.
09:45Once we were inside,
09:47Daddy and Uncle disappeared into the kitchen.
09:49That was the first time I realized Daddy knew how to cook.
09:52I remember one time when Mommy was so sick she couldn't get out of bed.
09:56She asked Daddy to make her some hot chicken soup.
09:59Daddy just said no.
10:01If you want soup, why don't you just order delivery?
10:03My time is valuable.
10:05I don't have time for that.
10:06It turns out Daddy could do it.
10:08He just didn't think Mommy was worth it.
10:10My chest started to feel really tight and heavy.
10:12Then, Megan came over with a plate of fruit.
10:15She reached out to pat my head.
10:17Mommy told me never to let Megan touch me, so I pulled away.
10:20She paused, looking like she could read my mind.
10:22Did your mother tell you to stay away from me?
10:25I didn't say anything.
10:27Well, your mother was right.
10:28She just smiled.
10:30Before I knew what was happening,
10:31Winnie!
10:32She called Winnie over.
10:33Come here.
10:33She picked up a pair of scissors from the table and sliced Winnie's arm.
10:38Winnie started screaming and crying.
10:47Daddy and Uncle rushed out of the kitchen.
10:50What happened?
10:51Megan looked like her heart was breaking.
10:54Mia, she...
10:57She took the scissors and cut Winnie.
11:00I didn't do it!
11:03Daddy was livid and gave me a shot.
11:07I fell to the floor and hit my head hard on the ground.
11:13Daddy, it hurts.
11:16You have the nerve to say it hurts?
11:18Daddy used to get angry when I messed up,
11:21but I had never seen him look this scary.
11:26Did your mother teach you to do this?
11:28That woman is pure evil.
11:31She used to bully Megan,
11:32and now she's teaching you to bully Winnie.
11:34She is rotten to the core!
11:37I didn't hurt Winnie.
11:39It was Megan.
11:39She used the scissors.
11:45Mia, are you saying I would hurt my own daughter?
11:49I'm not like your mother.
11:51I don't have such a cold heart.
11:53Her words triggered Daddy even more.
11:58I did it!
11:59My whole body felt like it was on fire.
12:01Finally, Uncle stepped in to stop him.
12:04That's enough, Jack.
12:05Just have her mother come pick her up.
12:06We need to get to the hospital.
12:08Daddy let go, breathing heavily.
12:11He pulled out his phone,
12:12took Mommy's number off the block list,
12:14and called her back.
12:17Someone picked up almost immediately.
12:20Chloe, come get your daughter now!
12:22Is this Chloe's family?
12:23This is the police department.
12:25Mrs. Chloe and her child passed away ten minutes ago.
12:28Can you come down to sign the papers?
12:32Daddy didn't have the speaker on,
12:34but everyone froze.
12:35I forgot to cry.
12:37The pain in my body seemed to vanish in an instant.
12:40Only two words echoed in my head.
12:43Passed away?
12:46I stood on my tiptoes,
12:48trying to get closer to the phone to hear better.
12:50But then I heard Daddy sneer into the receiver.
12:52Here we go again, Chloe.
12:53First you hire someone to play a doctor,
12:55and now a cop?
12:55Aren't you afraid the real police will find out
12:57and lock you up?
12:59He hung up the phone quickly,
13:01but his face looked panicked.
13:03He suddenly grabbed my hand.
13:05I'm taking me a-
13:05It hurts so much, Daddy!
13:07Look, my arm is bleeding everywhere!
13:09Daddy snapped back to reality and dropped my hand.
13:13Hospital.
13:14Daddy's taking you to the hospital right now.
13:16He scrambled to pick Winnie up,
13:18and Uncle and Megan hurried out behind them.
13:21Nobody cared about that phone call.
13:23I sat on the floor for a long time,
13:26completely lost,
13:28before I realized I had to go find Mommy.
13:32Suddenly, my toy watch started ringing.
13:34It was the nice lady doctor.
13:38I told the lady doctor where I was going before I left.
13:42I even gave her my phone number.
13:44She must have found out already.
13:46Hi, sweetie!
13:47On the phone,
13:48the lady doctor asked me where I was in a very soft voice.
13:52I told her the address.
13:55About 20 minutes later,
13:57she picked me up.
14:01Her eyes were red,
14:02and her voice was so low I could barely hear her.
14:06Sweetie,
14:07you're Mommy.
14:08She couldn't even even finish the sentence.
14:11Finally,
14:12I spoke up.
14:14Are Mommy and my brother dead?
14:16The tears she was holding back finally fell.
14:19She nodded.
14:23Please,
14:24take me to see them.
14:27Mommy was lying quietly on a bed.
14:30My baby brother,
14:31so tiny,
14:32was lying right next to her.
14:33The blood had been wiped away,
14:35so it just looked like they were sleeping.
14:37After the doctor said it was okay,
14:39I climbed onto the bed.
14:41I tucked my head against Mommy's neck
14:43and held her as tight as I could.
14:45Mommy felt so cold.
14:47Whenever I used to feel cold,
14:50Mommy would hold me just like this
14:52to keep me warm.
14:53Now,
14:54I want to give all my warmth to her.
15:00The doctor stood by the bed,
15:02crying quietly.
15:04The man from earlier walked over
15:06and let out a long,
15:08heavy sigh.
15:14Her family just won't believe it.
15:15They even hung up on the police.
15:17What do we do now?
15:19I guess the kid has to sign the papers.
15:22We can't keep the bodies here much longer.
15:28But she's so small.
15:32So small,
15:33and yet she already know what death means.
15:37I have to be the one to handle
15:39my own mother's death certificate.
15:42With the doctor's help,
15:44I followed them all night.
15:47Finally,
15:48I was given a piece of paper.
15:58The staff moved Mommy and my brother
16:01into a large freezer
16:02and sent them to the funeral home.
16:07A man at the funeral home
16:09told me that cremation costs money.
16:12He asked if I had any.
16:14I did.
16:15I had money in my piggy bank.
16:21I could go home and get it.
16:23I caught a taxi back to our house.
16:26It was completely empty.
16:29Daddy hadn't come home all night.
16:32If Mommy knew,
16:34but Mommy will never know anything anymore.
16:36I ran into my room,
16:38grabbed my piggy bank,
16:39and headed for the door.
16:40But as I walked out,
16:41I ran straight into Daddy.
16:43I bumped into him,
16:44and my piggy bank slipped from my hands.
16:46It shattered on the floor,
16:47and coins and bears scattered everywhere.
16:49Where are you going with all that money?
16:54Mommy still needs money.
16:56I didn't answer Daddy.
16:57I just scrambled onto my knees
16:58to pick up the coins as fast as I could.
17:01Daddy got angry because I was ignoring him.
17:03He jerks me toward him,
17:05his voice getting louder and meaner.
17:07I'm asking you a question.
17:08What do you do with this money?
17:09And where is your mother?
17:10Why isn't she home?
17:12Right then,
17:13a white piece of paper
17:15slips out of my pocket.
17:18Dad grabs it.
17:19The second he sees what's on it,
17:21his eyes turn bloodshot with rage.
17:24What is this?
17:25Did your mother give you this too?
17:26I looked up at him.
17:27It was the death certificate
17:29the lady doctor gave me.
17:30I told him the truth.
17:32Mommy didn't give it to me.
17:33The doctor did.
17:35Daddy's hands began to shake.
17:45He pulled out his phone to call Mommy again,
17:48but then he looked down
17:49and saw the bloodstains in the living room.
17:52Daddy started to shake.
17:54He stumbled toward the bedroom
17:57and ripped the door open.
17:59I could feel him trembling so hard.
18:03He stood there for a long, long time.
18:08Then, all of a sudden,
18:10he collapsed onto the floor.
18:13Even though he's mean to me,
18:15he's still my daddy.
18:20I went over to him.
18:24Daddy, what's wrong?
18:26He grabbed my shoulders so hard,
18:28his eyes looked like they were going to pop out.
18:30His voice was raw and broken.
18:32Mia,
18:34where is your mother right now?
18:41The makeup artist did Mommy's makeup.
18:43Lying in the ice coffin,
18:45she looked just like Sleeping Beauty.
18:47I pressed my hand against the glass.
18:50If only I could reach out
18:51and touch her face one last time.
18:53Suddenly,
18:54a loud crash echoed behind me.
18:55I turned around and saw Uncle.
18:57He punched Daddy right in the face,
18:58knocking him to the floor.
18:59How could my sister be dead?
19:02You told me she was just acting!
19:05Daddy didn't even try to fight back.
19:07Ever since I brought him here,
19:08he's been like a different person.
19:10When he first saw Mommy's body,
19:13he started laughing like a crazy person.
19:16Then,
19:17the tears started falling.
19:19Looking at Daddy's face,
19:21I knew he was sad.
19:23Every time he and Mommy used to fight,
19:25Mommy would look just like that,
19:27hiding in her room and crying quietly.
19:30Whenever I asked her if she was okay,
19:32she always said she was fine.
19:36Staff members quickly pulled Daddy and Uncle apart.
19:39The two of them sat on the floor,
19:41looking completely broken.
19:42Uncle cursed at Daddy for a while,
19:44and then he started cursing at himself.
19:46She called me too.
19:48Her voice sounded so wrong,
19:49but I didn't think twice.
19:52I really thought it was like years ago
19:54that she was just jealous of you and Megan.
19:57I was so scared of history repeating itself.
20:00I should have believed her.
20:02She was my sister.
20:06They said,
20:08if just one of us had come to look,
20:10if just one of us had signed the papers,
20:12Jack, you and I,
20:15we are both such damn bastards.
20:19It wasn't until Mommy and my brother
20:21were being pushed into the furnace
20:23that I realized what creamtation really meant.
20:26They were going to burn Mommy away.
20:29No, I couldn't let them.
20:32Even if Mommy couldn't talk to me anymore,
20:35I didn't want her to disappear forever.
20:37Mommy! Mommy!
20:39I ran toward the furnace,
20:40trying to save her,
20:41but Daddy caught me and held me tight.
20:44He kept calling my name.
20:46Mia!
20:48Mia!
20:51Daddy had never called my name like that before.
20:58They burned Mommy and my brother,
21:00and then they buried them in the ground.
21:02Daddy held my hand
21:04and told me that Mommy lives here now.
21:06He said if I miss her,
21:07I can come visit.
21:08I nodded,
21:09even though I didn't quite understood,
21:12and went home with him.
21:13But as soon as we opened the door,
21:15Megan was there.
21:19Jack!
21:20I heard about Chloe.
21:21It's all my fault.
21:23I shouldn't have let you stay for Winnie's birthday.
21:26I don't know why,
21:27but every time she speaks,
21:28it makes me feel sick.
21:30Daddy looked at her with so much pity.
21:34This has nothing to do with you.
21:36If anyone is to blame,
21:37it's her for setting that trap years ago
21:38and forcing you to have the baby and move abroad.
21:41Megan, don't blame yourself.
21:48Actually, I forgave Chloe for that a long time ago.
21:52I was the one who
21:53didn't hide my feelings for you well enough.
21:57Chloe only faked her kidnapping
21:58because she was jealous.
22:00Just because that man was close to Chloe
22:02doesn't mean she told him to hurt me.
22:04Jack, can you please let it go too?
22:07She kept saying she didn't care,
22:09but she made sure to bring it up
22:11over and over again.
22:13Usually, Daddy would agree
22:14and say he'd never forget what happened.
22:17But this time, he just nodded quietly.
22:21Megan's eyes flickered for a second.
22:23Then she smiled.
22:25Now that Chloe is gone,
22:26a man like you won't know
22:28how to raise a child on his own.
22:30Why don't we all live together?
22:33I can help you take care of Mia.
22:36Mia, wouldn't it be nice
22:37if we all lived together?
22:38She turned to me with a smile
22:40and reached out to pinch my cheek.
22:41I thought about the way
22:43she hadn't hesitated
22:44to drive those scissors
22:45into Winnie's arm that day.
22:47I took two big steps back.
22:50Let's talk about that later.
22:51Daddy patted my hair,
22:52but he didn't say yes.
22:54Even though Daddy turned her down,
22:56Megan wasn't angry.
22:57She stayed anyway,
22:58saying she wanted to look after us
22:59for a few days.
23:01Daddy was in a bad mood
23:02and just muttered a few words
23:03before heading to his room.
23:05I wanted to go to my room, too,
23:07but Winnie grabbed me.
23:10Play with me!
23:11I couldn't help it.
23:14I ran to my room,
23:15but Megan followed me inside.
23:18Mia,
23:18how could you be so rude
23:20to your sister?
23:21I told her I don't want to play!
23:23My mommy told me
23:24not to talk to either of you!
23:26Oh?
23:27It sounds like you've already forgotten
23:29the lesson I taught you.
23:31Before I could even react,
23:33she grabbed a glass from the table
23:34and smashed it hard
23:35against Winnie's head.
23:36Blood started pouring down
23:37Winnie's forehead,
23:37and she let out a piercing scream.
23:39It was happening all over again.
23:41The same horrific scene.
23:42I stared at Megan,
23:43frozen in shock.
23:44If you don't start listening to me,
23:46I'll make sure your daddy
23:47kicks you out on the street.
23:48That smile vanished
23:49the second Daddy walked in.
23:50Megan pulled Winnie into her arms
23:51and started sobbing.
23:52Even if you hate us,
23:53you shouldn't hurt people like this!
23:55Daddy's face turned very strange.
23:57Jack, maybe it's better
23:58if Winnie and I just leave.
24:00He didn't rush over
24:01to comfort them
24:01like he usually did.
24:03There's a security camera
24:04in this room.
24:05Every bit of color
24:06drained from Megan's face
24:07instantly.
24:09She bit her lip,
24:10her voice trembling.
24:11What do you mean?
24:12I saw everything.
24:13His other hand
24:14was clenched into a tight fist.
24:16That other time?
24:17Did you frame me
24:18like this back then?
24:19Maybe Megan realized
24:20she couldn't lie her way
24:21out of it this time
24:21because she actually admitted it.
24:23Fine.
24:23Yes, I did it.
24:24All of it.
24:24Jack, I'm not as big-hearted
24:25as you think I am.
24:27Every time I look at this child,
24:28I'm reminded of what
24:29Chloe did to me.
24:30You were supposed to love me.
24:31If she hadn't drugged me
24:33and forced me to leave,
24:34I would be the one
24:35who had a child with you.
24:36She stole everything from me
24:38and her daughter
24:39is stealing everything from mine.
24:41So what if I get
24:41a little revenge?
24:43Jack, I still love you
24:45and I know you still love me.
24:46Now that Chloe's dead,
24:48why don't we just get married?
24:50I promise,
24:50as long as you're with me,
24:51I'll never hurt Mia again.
24:58She tried to hug him,
24:59but Daddy threw her off.
25:02In your dreams, Megan,
25:03I never loved you.
25:04Not once.
25:04I have always loved Chloe.
25:06The only reason I was ever nice to you
25:07was to keep you happy
25:08so you wouldn't press charges against her.
25:10Chloe is gone now.
25:11I'm gonna raise me on my own
25:12and then I'm gonna end my own life.
25:14Now get out of my house.
25:15Daddy spoke with so much conviction.
25:17You could see how much
25:19he loved Mommy in his eyes.
25:21But Daddy,
25:22if only you could have said these things
25:25while Mommy was still alive.
25:26Megan's face turned even paler,
25:28twisted with shock and resentment.
25:30Just as she was about to snap back,
25:32Daddy's phone rang in his pocket.
25:34He pulled it out and answered.
25:35I couldn't hear who was on the other end,
25:37but I watched Daddy's expression
25:39go from cold
25:39to completely lifeless.
25:41He hung up,
25:42picked me up without a word,
25:44and walked straight out the door.
25:45He didn't even look back,
25:47leaving Megan behind
25:49to scream and sob in the empty house.
