Inside my head, I'm constantly in the waiting room, 
reliving the events of my childhood where my sister still 
plays Stratego with me on that fateful night. Samantha 
still argues about what show we were going to watch on 
television. I could still see her screaming my name 
repeatedly when they come to take her in front of me. 

I never have a moment's peace. 

I felt the guilt swirling inside of me, hoping that it flee 
from me. It never relents, but grows by the passing days 
turning into months gone by.

I wondered to this day: what if I was bigger then and could 
save her from the abduction ever happening in the first 
place? Would they still abduct her? Would I be able to save 
her? I don't know, but I do know that all these questions 
pounded on the door to my soul. Regardless whatever I do in 
my life, my sister still haunts me.

In my mind, I still wait for her to return in the waiting 
room, but she never does.
