    room. Sweat covered her forehead, slipping


    down her face as she blinked continuously.


    She never dreamt during the day, this would


    be the first. She almost never dreamt to start

    sprung to her eyes. No. She wasn’t going to


    cry because her brother was surely not

    Selena climbed down from the bed, her


    small feet making contact with the cold


    floor. She shivered, feeling intense fear in


    her heart for the first time. Selena had heard


    several times in church that God hears the


    prayers of children. And though she was the


    daughter of a pastor, she never really prayed


    a serious prayer on her own. It was time to


    test that theory.


    She bent her knees and knelt by her bed,


    bracing her hands on the soft mattress and


    for the first time, Selena really prayed.
