Dear Beloved Soul,

Please help! I am an eight-year-old girl with a life of my own that had been ruined. I have been taken away from my family as that would be sad enough. I already miss my mom’s tasty dinners, my dad’s magic tricks, and my sister’s joyous character. The guilt I’ve taken with me from home makes me wonder if I had spent enough time with my family before we were all separated. Maybe my family is on TV praying from my return and crying to all the citizens of my city with no clue about my whereabouts. I wish I could just maybe tell them where I am, but I can’t. This guilt will stay with me if I don’t see them ever again before I perish…… If you find this message on the sidewalk behind a red house on West Orchard St. , please oh please call the police or 908–779–6165, my parent’s number with a true character so that they will believe you.

You can either be an angel or a devil.
