Child-like wonder filled her eyes when she saw her reflection in the elevator door. Her big, beautiful eyes showed her joy- you didn't even have to see her smile to know that.
Later that night, I though to myself, "I can't wait to have my own kids. I want to raise someone to be great. I want to see them grow up. Plus, babies are just so cute!"
That night, I woke up from my sleep at 3:23. "S**t," I thought, "I have to get up at 6:30, that's early enough. Why now and not like, 6:00 or something?!" Then, my eyes happened to turn to the other end of my bed, in front of my bookshelf. I saw the girl, the one from the mall. She was looking up at the ceiling, even though there was nothing off about it. She was just floating there, not moving. I fell back asleep in about 5 minutes so I didn't lose any more sleep than I already did.
The next day after school, I turned on the news for background noise as I did homework. I happened to actually listen to it when it said "1 year old girl found dead on first floor at White Marsh Mall in Baltimore."
