Jan M. Hill

     My name is Kelly. I’m a normal 13-year-old who like drawing, video games, and reading. I also have high anxiety, am extremely timid, and have some pretty strange nightmares. Some become reality. Like, I redecorated my room from pink to green – in my sleep!

     Mom sent me to spend the summer with my aunt, who I haven’t seen since I was a baby. When I get there, I find out Mom sent me to the Boonies! I mean, there is nothing around here but fields, forests, and mountains. My aunt has me even more worried. She keeps talking about a gift I have.

     I feel like there’s a different reason I’m here. No one will give me a straight answer; not even Granma! And I keep seeing something move out of the corner of my eye, but when I look, nothing is there. I swear I’m going crazy! Can my life get any stranger?
