**FICTION**

*=Paragraph

*Have you ever felt like you were not alone?...
*Marissa Dale, a 21 year old female, has just graduated college and out to live her own life. She moves into an apartment on 23rd Street Avenue. Her friends have told her that strange things have happened around there. But she never let that scare her.
*It all started three days after she has finished settling in. She just got out of the shower. When as she leans to get her hairdryer. she sees a man's reflection out of the corner of her in the mirror. She raises up slowly, looking up at the saddest green eyes. He is dressed in black. He leans forward and start to mark on her fogged up mirror.
*She watches his shaky fingers mark H..E..L..P..M..E.. Frozen with fear she drops her hairdryer, finds the ability to move again and runs out of the bathroom, scared to death, grabs her car keys and drives to her friend Chelsea's house.
*Chelsea is the kind of girl that she has an explanation for everything. As Marissa pulls into Chelsea's driveway, her car stops automatically. Marissa steps from her car and runs to the door. As she pounds, Chelsea opens the door. She looks at Marissa who is trying to catch her breath. Chelsea immediately asks, "What's wrong?"
*Marissa tries to speak, "There...there...there is a man in my house."
*"Why didn't you call the police?" Chelsea asks.
*"This was not just an ordinary person." Marissa replies.
*"You mean?" Chelsea asks.
*"Yes." replied Marissa.
*Marissa asks Chelsea to come and stay with her for the weekend to see if anything would happen. Chelsea gets hesitant about saying yes but she finally agrees to go. The girls go to Chelsea's room to get her clothes.
*They walk outside only to reveal that Marissa's car has "HELP ME, PLEASE!" written in what appeared to be blood. They run back inside and call the police. "The police will be here in five minutes," Marissa exclaims.
*The girls go outside and as soon as they step out the door, the police car pulls in. They go running toward the car as Sgt. Charles Henry approaches them and asks them what the problem is. They pull him to the car. He looks around the car to observe the evidence. He calls for his partner and tells him to get the evidence kit to clean the blood off to take it for testing.
*Sgt. Charles Henry tells the girls that as soon as the tests return he will notify them with the results.
*Marissa tells Chelsea, "Let's go to my place and see if everything is still there."
*As they are walking up the steps to Marissa's apartment, Chelsea says, "I saw the way Sgt. Charles Henry was looking at you."
*"What do you mean?" Marissa remarks as she turns red in the face.
*"You like him don't you?" Chelsea teases. Marissa's face just stays red. When the girls get inside of Marissa's apartment, they see "Jack Craft killed me" on the wall. Their eyes widen and they scream as they run out of the apartment. They make another call to the police again and slowly return to the apartment. The police arrived within ten minutes of the call. Marissa hears a knock at the door. She answers it and its Sgt. Charles Henry. He sees the bloody wall behind her and says "Oh my God." He tells his partner that they need to check on this guy named Jack Craft. Sgt. Charles Henry recognized the name from a recent case he had been on.
*The next day the policemen run a lie-detector test on Jack and it comes out that he had committed the murder of Paul Walker. Jack was arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
*Sgt. Charles Henry returns to Marissa's apartment and tells her the news. She gives him a hug and then kisses him. She pulls from him quickly, kinda shocked at herself, and a bit embarrassed as she thanks him again. He leaves, she closes the door, turns to Chelsea and says "I can't believe I just did that." They both giggle.
*Marissa says, "Well I am going to use the restroom." As she enters the bathroom, she see's "THANK YOU" written in red once again. But her red un-covered stick of lipstick catches her eye this time. She smiles to herself and whispers "You're welcome" to her invisible room-mate.
*One week later Marissa is back into her hometown. As she is outside planting a little garden, she sees a pair of shoes stepping next to her. She looks up and it's Sgt. Charles Henry with flowers in hand. She raises up to him and she asks, "How did you find me? What are these for?" As she points to the flowers.
*He replies, "Well I am a cop you know, so I know how to track people down, and two I liked our kiss we had last week and I was hoping we could do it again." He smiles down at her as she smiles back at him, hugs him, and slowly they start kissing. They pull away slowly and look in each others eyes.
*"I take weekends off as well. Would you like to go on a date this Saturday?" Sgt. Charles Henry asks.
*Marissa blushes and says, "Sure, I would like that."
