Chapter 1 - Where it All Began
Looking off into the last sunset of April, Miranda and her older brother, Aaron, hoped their mother was okay.

"Miranda, do you suppose Mom's still alive?"

"God has treated us well so far, and I don't suppose He'll stop now. Yes. She must be alive," Miranda responded.

"Aaron! Miranda! Dinner's ready!" called their father, Jonathon.

"We'll be right down, Dad!" shouted Aaron.

After another minute or so of looking over the railing, Miranda and Aaron went downstairs to meet their father at the table for dinner. Their father had made a pizza that all three of them enjoyed. It was topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and salami.

As the Goodford family ate, silence entered the room, occasionally to be interrupted by the mention of their mother, Janice.

After dinner, Miranda felt exhausted, so she excused herself so she could go to bed.

As she lay herself down, she suddenly felt extremely sick. She barely had any time to experience it, though, because she quickly passed out on the bed.
