The Robber: A Literary Fiction Story of Abuse - E-book - ePub

Samantha's celebrating her tenth birthday, but turning "double digits" isn't all it's cracked up to be... Her special day is dampened not only by her mom burning the chicken fingers and making her go to Girl Guides, but also by the fact that she knows "the robber" will be coming later that night. After all, birthday cards mean birthday money, and birthday money is sure to attract him. Sam and her younger sister Tory have tried for years to find the perfect hiding spot, but the robber always finds any bits of cash tucked away in their underwear drawers, or in the pyjama doll, or the hollow base of the ugly ceramic unicorn from Grandma Macintyre.
It's only a matter of time before the robber arrives at Samantha's bedroom door. Not every horror story is supernatural.
