10 Feet And Under: The Story Of Milford Brown

 Milford Brown, the adventurous girl from 122 Pent Street, was always being watched. At first it was by the local police for trespassing. It soon escalated to a stalker. Since that night, Milford has never been back outside. She stopped being adventurous at 15 years old. One night when Milford was fast asleep, she was awoken by a loud bang. She got up to investigate, only to discover that a strange man was peeking through her window outside. He had knocked the garbage can over. She screamed in terror and has lived with the scariness of it for the last 25 years. She bought a house in Deep Falls, with no windows or visible light. She only uses artificial light. No one has seen her in 25 years, and we all thought she was dead. Well, as it turns out, she was dead, just not yet. Her stalker, John Alchey, was released yesterday from Sacramento State Prison and he bought Milford's childhood home. The day of Milford's death, John was also killed. Milford's death went like this: She went to hike Telstar Canyon, since she thought that her stalker had died. Her stalker followed her stealthily, and he ended up being killed by a bystander who thought John had thrown her off. She was one foot from the edge of a ledge to take pictures of the lakes that lay below. She was then surprised by a sudden "Hi, Milford!" It was John. "Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Time stopped for a moment. Milford started to question life. She started to ask herself," If I don't jump, will that scary man throw me off?" Milford shouted, " Stay back! Stay back or I'll jump!" John started to walk towards her and yelled " Don't jump!" It was too late. Milford was already gone before she hit the water below. She flew downward off of the 250 foot cliff and then was swallowed up by the water. There she went, plunging into the oceanic abyss. 10 feet and under, 20 feet and under, 30 feet, 40 feet.
