Sphinx CHAPTER VI
Rachael runs into a park a few blocks away. As a little girl, she would always come to the park whenever she got sad and her father would always come to get her. He would bring flowers as a gift as he bathe her with compliments to brighten her mood. But now, that is all a memory of the past. A memory she buried in a box but has now been opened. Rachael walks until she sees an empty bench where she sits, “Why me?”. “A story is never good without a damsel,” Samuel says as he appears before her teary eyes. “Go away, leave me alone" she says, still agitated. He sits beside her, “I am sincerely sorry about this Miss McQueen” “Why me? Why my father? Why did my mother lie to me?”. Samuel scratches his head, “I don’t know Rachael.
