“Anne…” I heard the voice say. “Anne… go to the bridge Anne… you need to go…” the voice always seemed to appear at approximately 3:30 a.m., and it was so menacingly soft that it woke me up every single time. It always told me to go to the bridge a few blocks from my house… the one that my father jumped off…

Just to cause me pain.

[beep]? Yes, Sir.

He’s present, he’s here

Kept alive by your memory

Made out of hate, I fear

_“Riya, wake up” _

I hear the_ _reminder bounce around in the back of my head, though it is quickly drowned out by blare of the alarms, whining and wailing like raid sirens. I feel the heavy weight of grogginess and exhaustion fall on me as I swing my legs over the side of the stiff, rusty bed frame. But this is what I endure every day.

The voice isn’t stopping. It never stops. It is always in the back of my mind. It never goes away. At first I only heard it the moment I woke up in the morning, but now it never leaves my head.

It’s taking ...

"Kathy."

The voice says the first night.

"Kathy.!"

The voice says a second time.

"Kathy!"

The voice still croons.

"KATHY."

"KATHY!"

"hmm?" says Kathy.

"You need to get ready for work."

"hmm? oh yeah i forgot."

So Kathy got ready for work.
