    About this ebook

    An unlikely friendship forms when a troubled young man takes interest in an enigmatic girl he usually sees at the park.
    Too shy to approach, he enjoys her splendor from afar, amused by all the scenarios his imagination draws from her expressions.
    Hiding a gruesome secrete, he squanders the thought of getting close to her.
