Jack was excited, to say the least. An only child, he was blessed with the fact that he had several cousins near his age. One was coming for a visit this summer, for nearly two months. She was older than him but that didn't really register to him. A lonely sixteen year old was always desperate for attention from his peers. He was, sternly, instructed to look 'nice' today and Jack certainly tried his best. He'd combed his dark hair but it was too curly to lie flat. His skin was pale and clean (he'd taken care to scrub while showering) and he wore clothing that wasn't bleach stained, torn or simply stained, a polo shirt and blue jeans.
His cousin was to arrive today, any moment now, in fact. He paced up and down the stairs, filled with restless energy. His short, lithe form was nearly shaking with nervous excitement. Or even, something more. . .
His parents had been cooking and generally readying the house to accommodate a guest. The guestroom had to be cleaned out, stocked with towels and other bathroom essentials. Now Jack was having a hard time waiting to hear a car to pull up and drive off.
It didn't take that long to get here from the airport.
What if she changed her mind?
Maybe the cab driver was a creepy psycho and his cousin was trapped?
Maybe Jack was insane.
He was certainly driving himself towards the edge.
