A few hours later, I woke up to the sound of a girl humming. I lived alone since my parents lived abroad, so I was quite scared. I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital. The nurse explained that the shock of the sight I witnessed caused my heart to beat too fast until I passed out. The police investigated me at the scene of the crime but ultimately came to the conclusion I had no part. I was released that afternoon, but in the back of my head, I still heard that humming. It was peculiar, but I figured I was still recovering so I tried to ignore it. What I couldn't ignore was the sound of soft heels clicking behind me. I swiftly turned around, but no one was there. I sighed, turning back around and ahead of me was Alice. I screamed, falling backwards, which caused her to scream as well, but something was wrong with her. She was transparent. She was a...ghost?

According to local legend, traversing Ursa Swamp would lead you to a fantastical meadow where time and space met in one place- the center of the universe. It seemed highly unlikely that southern Florida was the center of the universe, but that did not cease the whisperings of people who lived there. The legend spoke of a vast field of vibrant flowers and soft grass and animals that would be there for all of time. No one would make it past Ursa to prove the story true, or false. Pathways of overgrown sea grapes protected the small strip of bordering land that nearly touched the ocean, white sand washing up its shore. No ships can travel there, or their captains will be tossed into the waves and their masts torn by bolts of fiery lightning. No horseman can arrive atop his steed, for the creature will sink deep into the dark muds of Ursa Swamp, unable to be retrieved. No buggy or fishing boat or Jeep or jetski could pass through the swamp into the “center of the universe.”

Once upon a time down down under the sea was the most magical mermaid. She wasn't like any other mermaid. She was coated in gold and everywhere she went the ocean lit up. She was born to normal mermaid parents. When they had this beautiful girl coated in gold they named her Elsa. Growing up Elsa hated how she was coated in gold because she wasn't like any of her friends. She didn't realize that what she had was so special. The older she got she became a light to everyone, not because of her beautiful outsider appearance but because of her heart inside. She was born to shine for others. The older she got, the more her gold began to rust. she no longer shined how she used to. It made herself and others only look at her inner beauty. She soon began to get stuck in the sand unable to move. Her friends and family had to come to visit her as she was rusting away. She no longer was the Elsa that lit up everywhere. She now felt like an old stone. Her inability to move and her looks did not take away from her inside heart. She realized that she was different and there was nothing she could do. When she passed away her body became a gold rock that people would visit for thousands of years to come. Her wish was that would people would touch the rock they would feel encouraged to go out and be the gold light. Brynn Marshall

The girl thought about asking her friends if she could borrow some decor that wasn’t being used. But she didn’t want to sound like a beggar so she went to the local retail shop full of antiques. She wanted her room to look vintage. She looked around and everything seemed so expensive. “Maybe moving to Maryland alone wasn’t the greatest idea.” she decided maybe she could go else and shop. While driving her friend called her, and she congratulated the girl for getting into the college that she wanted. The Urhua asked her friend “ Hey so, do you like have any mmmh I don’t know … paintings.” Savya said, “ Oh, yes, my grandma has many things in her attic that aren't being used.” The Urhua said great I’m on my way. She drove and drove and drove to a house that looked a bit mysterious. The grass was overgrown. The yellow leaves scattered near the house. The windows looked gloomy. Urhua thought that she was at the wrong address. But she checked her phone but looked at it and saw that she was at the right address. So she bravely got the courage to knock on the door, and she waited and suddenly an elderly woman opened the door. “ who are you?” The old woman asked “ Oh, I’m here for the… “The furniture, right? “Yes,” Urhua responded. “Here” she has her poster, which has big eyes and a nose with a slight smile. She also gives her a lamp, which only lights up with kerosene. “Ok thank you,” the girl told the old woman. The girl was happy to have some new accessories put in her room. She put the poster near her bed and put the lamp on her tiny nightstand. She left the dorm to get groceries since classes started tomorrow and she was running out of food. But as she was leaving the posters, it seemed to move. She looked at it again, but it seemed normal. She didn’t think about it and left and came back, and came back home exhausted. She was ready to head to bed but before she did, she loved to dance, so she danced a bit. Every circle she made the eyes the poster's eyes seemed to MOVE! The girl tried to stay calm, but she knew the eyes moved. The girl panicked, not knowing what to do. The poster was closer to the door. She panicked but decided to call her parents who live three hours away before 10 PM. They shut their phones. She yelled for help. But no one could hear her since her room was very isolated from the other rooms. She suddenly fell unconscious, then fell. The monster on the poster had taken her.

It's late. I'm trying to sleep. I roll over and grunt in frustration. It's really late. I have to get up early tomorrow; I can't afford exhaustion or sleeping in. I blink and watch the numbers on my alarm, the little colon between the hours and minutes blinking with each passing second. It seems like forever before the minute number changes from two to three. The red digits burn into my mind, searing my eyes along the way. I need to fall asleep. Suddenly, I bolt up, gasping and beginning to sweat. I was just staring at the clock. I was just staring at the clock! It was mesmerizing. It took me a moment to even realize I was doing it. Is that what she feels? Hypnotized and dissociated? Then why the worried look? I sigh and lay back down. Maybe she realizes she needs to look away and can't, I reason, and that worries her. I inwardly shrug and try to fall asleep. 2:04. Startled, I sit back up. I'm counting time now. What does that mean?

Everything is different. I have to search for the new me. The me that can live without a dad. The me that has to learn to do things for myself. I have to dress myself every day in clothes that wrap around me like that last hug I never received. I have to sleep in my room pretending like I can't see him in everything in front of me. I'm living in a small house that once felt full and now lies empty. A room once filled with light now faded into darkness. My life has changed and now I have to change with it.
