Edwin Richardson

Intro Ever since your new neighbours moved in nextdoor things have been different. Without fail every night you awake to a feeling of dread and unease. Why? You cant really tell. You just lay there hopelessly staring at the cealing until you fall back asleep. A few nights ago you noticed they were leaving what you presumed to be their dog out on the porch. Its whimpers drifting through your window on the cold Autumn wind. Ot only made things harder,the noise playing in your mind as you tried yourbest to get back to sleep. One night you had, had . You crep to the window from your bed prepared to shush the animal. Hoping a simple telling would suffice but what you saw broke your heart. Not a dog but a young boy of 17, Edwin Richardson. The new boyin school,the one who sat in the corner of the class in a world of his own. Always a new bandaid somewhere on his slender body. Brown hair thatlooked unkempt at times and big brown puppy dog eyes that always looked lost. Ot was hard to tell if the frekleson hisfave really where freckles and not splodges of dirt going by the way he kept himself. oversized hoodie with a hole in the pocket and cargo dhorts that where frayedin places and had the odd dirt patch here and there. Why was he there? All alone on his side porch at 2 AM on a cold Autumn night? Shivering in the cold and eyes dropping with tiredness. One thing you were sure of,he needed help!
