The face I never saw and the sister I almost met. I still don't know what to make of what I saw in that dark alley. Sometimes when I replay the memory in my head, I almost wonder if my brain invented half of it. But then I remember the smell, the sound, the bile rising in my throat when I realized what I was actually looking at, and I know it was real. A seemingly normal-looking woman, just some random lady who could have passed you on the sidewalk without raising suspicion, was crouched over. a homeless man and she was eating him. Not metaphorically. Not in some vague, poetic sense.

She was literally taking a bite out of him. It wasn't like a vampire movie where it's theatrical or stylized. It was raw, primal, sloppy. She spit something out when I startled her, something I never want to think about too hard, and then bolted down the alley without ever turning her face toward me. Part of me regrets not seeing her face. If I had, maybe I could have given the police an accurate description, maybe helped them track her down, maybe prevented whatever she did next.

But honestly, most of the time I'm glad she never turned around. Because if I had seen her face, I don't know if I'd be able to sleep at all now. Moral of the story. If you're ever downtown in Los Angeles, and you've got the choice between walking home and hitching a ride with someone you trust, take the damn ride. Don't be the hero. Don't try to save money or get your steps in for the day. Because this city doesn't play fair. A new beginning, or so I thought. Fast forward to last year. Life had moved me back into Los Angeles, this time for law school. I'd never lived in a big city before, at least not in a permanent way. Sure, I'd spent time

in L.A. before, but living here full-time was different. The energy was intoxicating. Over four million people, endless neighborhoods, cultures blending, chaos humming in the background, it felt alive. I was genuinely excited to relocate. I thought maybe law school would be my clean slate. A chance to carve out a path for myself, away from all the bizarre and disturbing experiences that seemed to shadow me. I was ready for for new beginnings. But L.A. has a way of reminding you that no matter how far you think you've come, its darkness is always waiting for you around the corner.

The sister I never knew. Ever since I was little, I knew I had a half-sister somewhere out there. My parents never hid that fact, but they treated the topic like it was radioactive. Anytime her name came up, they'd shut down the conversation, their faces stiffening, their voices sharp. It was like some family taboo, something we weren't supposed to talk about. Of course, being a curious kid, I couldn't help myself. I looked her up online when I was younger. I knew what she looked like, at least from old social media pictures. But that was about it. She wasn't very active online, and there wasn't much to piece together about her life.

She was like this ghost sibling, real, but untouchable. And then one random day, early in my first year of law school, I got a Facebook friend request from her. At first, I thought it was a joke. A scam. Some weird glitch. But when I clicked on the profile, it looked legit. She had friends, photos, a profile picture that matched her face, and posts that seemed, normal. My heart raced. After all these years, was she finally reaching out to me? I accepted the request. A few minutes later, she messaged me. The Invitation Her message was casual but exciting, she wanted to invite me to a dinner party. Not at her

apartment, not at a cafe, at a park, with some of her friends. She said it would be a nice chance for us to meet face to face for the first time. I sat staring at the screen, torn between excitement and dread. Part of me was over the moon. I'd always dreamed about meeting her, maybe building a bond, maybe even becoming close. The idea of finally connecting with family I barely knew, it was huge. But another part of me was anxious as hell. I overthought everything. What if we didn't vibe? What if she didn't like me? What if we ended up in some awkward, movie-style emotional meltdown, crying in front of her friends like it was a soap opera? I even imagined worse scenarios, like us getting along at first, then some stupid disagreement

sparking, and suddenly we were both in tears, making a scene in front of strangers. Honestly, if she had suggested meeting at a cozy bakery for coffee and dessert, I'd have been all in. That felt safe, intimate, manageable. But a park dinner party with people I didn't know. It didn't sit right. Still, the idea lingered in my head. The park. Weeks later, curiosity got the better of me. I decided to Google the park she mentioned. Maybe I was overthinking. Maybe it wasn't so bad. That's when I realized something was very, very wrong. I won't say the park's name, if you've lived in L.A. long enough, you probably know the one, but it has a reputation. And not a good one. It's not the kind of place you go for a picnic,

especially not after dark. The surrounding area has one of the highest violent crime rates in the city. It's gang territory, plain and simple. Even people doing illegal business, there, drug dealers, hustlers, whoever, are forced to pay taxes to the gangs to avoid trouble. In other words, it was the last place you'd expect a group of girls to be throwing a casual dinner party. My stomach dropped. Why would my sister, who I'd never met, invite me there? The investigation That was when my suspicion turned into full-blown paranoia. Something would be. Something would was off. I decided to try to reach her through other means. I knew from snooping years

earlier that she was an undergrad at a local college. By chance, I had a friend who went to the same school. So I asked my friend to see if she could track her down on campus. A week later, success. My friend managed to connect with her, and eventually, the three of us met at my friend's house. meeting her. I can't even describe the rush of emotions I felt walking into that house. Nervousness, excitement, fear. Would she look at me like family, or like a stranger?

But the second we met, the tension eased. She was warm, funny, sharp. We didn't burst into dramatic tears, but there were definitely some emotional moments. We laughed, we shared. little stories about our separate childhoods, and we found common ground. That night, the three of us had dinner together, watched a movie, and even crashed at my friend's place. For the first time, I felt like maybe I had gained something I never knew I needed, a sister. But then I told her about the Facebook message. Her face hardened. I don't even use Facebook, she said flatly. I haven't

touched that since high school. The fake account. My stomach sank. She explained that someone must have been impersonating her. Apparently, this wasn't even the first time. One of her other friends had once been scanned by someone pretending to be her online, something about fake concert tickets. When I went to show her the profile that had messaged me, it was already gone.

deleted like it had never existed. That unsettled me more than anything. Whoever created that account, they knew to delete it after it had served its purpose. The trap. So let's put this all together. Someone pretended to be my sister. They knew I was new in town. They reached out to me with a convincing profile.

And they tried to lure me to one of the most dangerous parks in Los Angeles at night. What the hell would have happened if I'd gone? I don't even want to know. Kidnapping? Mugging? Worse? The thought still chills me. Because whoever it was didn't just pick a random target, they went after me specifically, using someone from my family as bait. That means they knew who I was.

They knew about my sister, and they knew I was in town. To this day, I have no idea what their motives were. I'm not sure I even want the answer. But sometimes, when I walk through the city at night, I feel eyes on me. Like maybe the same people who tried to lure me into that trap are still out there, watching, waiting for another chance. To be continued.
