The Girl From the Woods

12

I saw Rachel before she died, only I didn't know who she was at the time.

It was at a party, and she was sitting on the back steps of the house, talking to some guy.

I wish I knew who she was back then.

About what her fate would have come to.

And, as I thought back to that night, I tried to remember the person sitting next to her.

I wondered if maybe he was the last person to see her alive.

Or if he was the reason for her death.
