Burning Eden Read Free

turned back to me again wide eyed. I had never seen my son so frightened so it scared me. “His eyes were all white, almost like he didn’t have any eyes just like white spaces where his eyes should have been.”
                  “We need to call the police.”

Chapter 4
     
    Jesse: Eden? Did you leave?
    Me: I’m sorry, love. I have to go; I need to call the police.
    Jesse: What? The police? Are you ok? Is everything alright?
    Me: I’m ok, but my son was just chased through the neighborhood by a naked man with weird white eyes.
    Jesse: WTF? Go call the police and please let me know what happens because I will be worried. I love you, Eden.
    Me: I will. I love you too.
     
                  “Why is everyone yelling?” Maddie asked while she strolled down the hallway from her room pulling the ear buds from her ears looking annoyed like she did most of the time.
                  “A naked man chased me while I was out taking Wiley for a walk. If it would have happened to you, you’d be yelling too!”
                  “That’s enough you two. Is he still out there, Kai? Do you see him on the street anywhere?” I asked. Kairo quickly peeked out the blinds again, turning his head to see both sides of the street then turning back to me.
                  “I don’t see him anymore mom. I don’t see anyone.”
                  “Good, hopefully his crazy naked ass kept right on running right out of the neighborhood. Now will one of you hand me the phone so I can call the police please?” I asked as suddenly we all heard loud banging coming from the front door and we all three jumped.
                  “Maybe it’s the police?” Maddie suggested as she started walking to the door to open it. Kairo quickly grabbed her arm to stop her.
                  “Mom hasn’t even called them yet, genius,” he said and she looked back at me. I held out the phone in my hand to her.
                  “Oh man, what if it’s that crazy naked guy? What if he tries to break in here? What if he is like those other naked crazies and he wants to eat our faces off?” she said becoming more hysterical with each question. With that the banging began again and then we heard my mother call out.
                  “Can someone open the God damn door? Phil was just attacked by some lunatic!”
                  “Oh shit! Hurry Kairo open the door and let them in then lock it behind them as well as the other doors. Maddie go get some towels in case Phil is hurt real bad,” I said as I looked down at the phone and dialed 911.

                  “What the hell is going on?” Cain asked as he made his way past all the police and fire trucks parked outside our house.
                  “Well, some crazy naked guy is running around the neighborhood attacking people. He almost got Kairo when he took Wiley out for a walk. Thank God he didn’t, but he did get Phil when he and mom were making their way up the driveway. I guess he was hiding out in the bushes or something; they took him to the hospital. He looked pretty bad, lots of bite marks, lots of blood, and he looked very pale. Mom went with Phil and now the cops are searching the neighborhood for that insane man.”
                  “Oh, sounds like an eventful day. Hey, guess what? I got the job!”
                  “Are you fucking serious right now?” I asked in awe of him.
                  “Yeah, babe I got the job! I start Monday!” He said excitedly.
                  “That’s absolutely wonderful Cain but take a look around you right now. No, really take a good hard look around, police are looking for a man that tried to attack our son and did attack my mother’s husband in our own driveway. Does none of this concern you? Maybe just a little?”
