You know how people teach you about “Stranger Danger”?  Well, I didn’t believe any of that.  To me, everyone was a kind and would never try to harm you.  Well, at a young age, that was.  All the school assemblies, I thought, were fake.  Until, I was a victim of it.  One day I was playing with my dolls in the front yard.  Suddenly, a weird looking ice cream truck came down the street and stopped in front of my house.

 

“Hey kid, want some ice cream,” the driver yelled.

 

I walked up to the truck.

 

“Sorry sir, I have no money,” I whimpered.

 

“Don’t worry, you can have one for free.  Just come in the back and pick,” he laughed.

 

Sensing no harm, I hopped on.  But something was weird about this ice cream truck.  It was just a dark empty box.  Suddenly, I heard a loud bang and the man closed the door.  Fear and confusion clouded my mind.  Once the lights turned on, I looked around and saw many other children lying on the floor, all tied up and gagged.  The look of fear in their eyes were sickening.  A hand gripped my throat, as I felt the urge to scream, a gag was stuffed into my mouth.  Before I knew it, I was tied up and thrown against the side of the truck.  Once the lights turned off, my mind tumbled into a deep abyss of thought.  How could such a person do such a thing?  Why did he need to take me away with other children?  What is our purpose?  We made many more stops and at each one, another family was deprived of their child.  Once the ice cream truck came to its last stop, I was hidden under a pile of shivering children.
