Eighteen-year-old Brie O’Mara has

dreams are about to lead her down the road to nightmares. Nightmares that could
turn into a deadly reality.

Prologue from Dead Dreams by Emma
Right:
They say each dead body, a human corpse,
has a scent all of its own, a sweet-sour smell. A cadaver dog picks up the
scent as clearly as a mother would recognize the photo of her child. Of course,
I wouldn’t know, for I am no dog. I might as well have been, the way I’d
stooped to yield to my basic instincts. My mind wandered to her, what her
unique smell would be when, and if, they ever were to find her.
After what happened, I decided to write out
the events that led to that day and details that might help, in case I’d missed
something, or might need it for defense, or in case they found me dead. My
relatives might need to piece together the things that had spiraled out of
control, if they wanted closure to put me to rest, to forget me altogether.
That would be least painful for them. I nodded to myself as I sat in the car. I
thought of my most favorite girl in the world: Lilly. At least Lilly’d have my
dog, Holly, to remember me by.
My friends used to call me Brie, short for
Brianna. But, I could hardly count anyone a friend any more. I’d have to resort
to back-watching if I wanted to survive.
