#Chapter5
Seventeen Years Earlier
Ken ran through the dark streets. Even at his young age, he already had the eyes of a man who’d seen too much. He was hoping to find someone who could help him get away from this madman. All he wanted was ice cream, but that was a mistake he knew he couldn’t afford to make again. His face was already bloody from one too many hits. He ran into the store and immediately headed for the freezer aisle. He was opening a jug of water when the store clerk caught him and began yelling. Thankfully, an older couple saw the poor kid being screamed at by the store clerk.
/"Hey, I’ll pay for whatever he takes. Just leave the kid alone,/" the older man yelled back at the store clerk. The older woman walked closer to Ken.
/"Oh my gosh! Harold, he’s hurt! We have to take him to a hospital!/" she screamed. Ken turned around, his eyes widening with fear.
