The Secret Diary of Lacey Ray

Come closer.

My name is Lacey Ray and I am thirteen years old. I should be an ordinary girl, but I am not. My ancestors were killers. I was born into darkness and secrets.

Come closer.

I am fourteen years old. I am learning to move. To navigate the silences that exist between the ticking of clocks. To stand on the edge of the abyss and look down.

Come closer.

I am fifteen years old. I am ready to be alone. To be powerful. To be the perfect predator.

Come closer and let me whisper to you.

My name is Lacey Ray and I can hardly wait to get started.
