When I was about to get off work, I received a call from my sister, Alexia.

She said in a trembling voice because of extreme fear, "He is back!"

My brain went blank suddenly.

In the crowded office, I felt cold all over as if I had returned to that snowy night three years ago.

Three years ago.

The whole family of us went back to our hometown, a remote village, to have grandma's funeral.

Before I got out of the car, I saw a tall young man standing at the door of my neighbor's house.

Although more than ten years had passed, I still recognized the young man at first glance. He was my childhood nightmare who lived next to my door, Loomis Smith.

Back then, my parents were bullied in the village because they gave birth to two girls, not boys. They couldn't stand it so they left there.

Loomis's father, Holbert, was the one who bullied my parents the most.
