„I WANT TO GO HIGHER KATY!“ Sara screeched. It was not cold, per say, but it was definitely breezy. As she flew higher and higher, a gust of wind brushed through her honey blonde locks.

„I can’t!“ Katy moaned, letting out an over exaggerated sigh. She was almost the polar opposite of Sara, where she had bright blonds ringlets, Katy‘s hair was as dark and pure as the night, her striking green eyes were stars lighting up her sweet, olive skin.

„WOOHOO!“ Sara called out into the cool, open space, a smile stretching across her face. Katy let at a chuckle, shook her head and gazed at her lovingly.

„Oh Sara!“

„What?“ Sara scrunched her nose up into a frown.

After a pause, the pair broke out into pure, unrestricted laughter, filling the emptiness of the playground.

But then there was another pause, and they began to realise the emptiness. The sky felt darker above them, as Katy pulled the swing to a halt.

„Where‘s my Mummy?“ Sara stammered.

„And where’s _my_ daddy?“ Katy trembled, reaching for her friends hand. Sara instead grabbed Katy‘s arm and pulled her in close, so she wouldn’t feel so alone. Before Sara could burst into tears, Katy wrapped a firm arm around her, while she was still just blubbering.

But they weren’t completely alone. On a stained bench in the corner of the park, they could both make out a dark figure.

„LOOK OVER THERE!“ Sara cried, pointing the the dawdling figure.

„Shhh! It’s rude to point!“ Katy scowled at her. But Sara wasn’t listening. Sara had let go of Katy‘s hand. Sara was running towards the bench. Katy groaned but stumbled after her nonetheless.

The pair didn’t stop until they could make out every line on the face of the old man in front of them. A sinister smile began to spread across his face. But Katy had a bad feeling. He wasn’t smiling with his eyes.
