Prologue from Dead Dreams by Emma Right:
They say each dead body, a human corpse, has a scent all of
its own, a sweet-sour smell. A cadaver dog picks up the scent as clearly as a
mother would recognize the photo of her child. Of course, I wouldn’t know, for
I am no dog. I might as well have been, the way I’d stooped to yield to my
basic instincts. My mind wandered to her, what her unique smell would be when,
and if, they ever were to find her.
After what happened, I decided to write out the events that
led to that day and details that might help, in case I’d missed something, or
might need it for defense, or in case they found me dead. My relatives might
need to piece together the things that had spiraled out of control, if they
wanted closure to put me to rest, to forget me altogether. That would be least
painful for them. I nodded to myself as I sat in the car. I thought of my most
favorite girl in the world: Lilly. At least Lilly’d have my dog, Holly, to
remember me by.
My friends used to call me Brie, short for Brianna. But, I
could hardly count anyone a friend any more. I’d have to resort to
back-watching if I wanted to survive.
