Episode 21 - My Friend, Christie

The young girl walked from her family’s modest apartment toward the home of her friend that was just three short blocks away. As she bounded down the sidewalk, she was clutching a newly acquired treasure she had just received from her aunt. Her mother, Laura, watched as the girl turned to smile at her, and wave goodbye, It was unseasonably warm and the radiant sunlight bounced off the girl’s short hair, making it shine impossibly bright. Christie would be home in time for dinner, she promised. And Christie never broke a promise. Laura watched her daughter until she was no longer in view, and, satisfied her daughter was safe on her path, Laura closed the door and set about spending the afternoon with her younger son. Little did Laura realize that in just a few short hours, her world would be turned completely upside down.
