Chapter 1, Awki
My name is John Crester.
My Dad, a Peruvian orphan, hired a private detective firm to find his biological father in Peru, South America.
The call from the detective came in late at night.
I was awake, afraid of a nightmare I often had.
In the nightmare there are no monsters, no killers, no witches, nothing really scary; there is only a vast, empty, dark space, and me.
I'm alone and terrified.
I don't want to be alone.
