The Whispers Get Louder

Waking up from my sleep. I step outside to check the mail. I get a postcard of a missing child...the trend seems to never fail. Julie was abducted at a park. It's been a long 18 years now. She's presumed dead, because of the fact that she was never found. I turn on the the TV, clicking the channels and now I'm appalled. "Breaking news- child abducted at a busy shopping mall!" They found a missing child dead, "Gone too soon," is Michael's song. You were here just yesterday, but sadly today, you're all but gone. To Timothy, Henry, Toby, Jermaine, Jennifer, Emily and Shelbe. I hope you are still with us today, I will always pray for thee. To those we lost like Samantha, Peter, Amber, Caylee, and Chris. So precious you all were to us and you are sadly missed. I shed a tear for each of you as if you were my own. How can people hurt little kids? Tell me what the hell is going on!!! I stare at a playground where once a little girl played on a swing. Someone took, raped and killed this child...please stop this crazy thing! In anger I speak to kidnappers, the Master said this, so I'll repeat. "It would be better for you to have a stone around your neck and thrown into the sea." Whispers I am hearing as if they were from a little child. It's her blood calling for revenge...it's starting to make sense to me now. Hear the whispers from their graves as we near the final hour. The Avenger of their blood hears them and the whispers are getting louder.
