CHOICE
You’re awoken from your midnight sleep to your dog barking wildly. Pulling her aside, you look out the bedroom window, only to see a face staring back at you. Whose is it? Why are they there? What happens next?
Playing in the hallway one day you accidentally bump into a vase that has been in the family for years. As it smashes to the ground you find a note hidden inside. Who is it addressed to and what does it say?
