"What is this?" Aurelia asked her.
"It's a note for a surprise that was prepared for you by your father. He said to hand it to you before the party. You should open it," Nella said.
Aurelia smiled at her and tore it open. It was obviously typed in bold letters.
SEE YOU AT THE ATTIC, DEAREST.
Dearest? That's what her father always referred to her as.
"I guess I should start going there," there," Aurelia said and left.
The attic had been closed since the incident, and Aurelia had always wanted to go in there and see. It was only reasonable now that her father should let her see before getting married.
She entered.
"Dad?" She called out to him, but there was no answer.
She went in further, and then she saw what was written on the wall.
'DIE BITCH! '
Just then, she heard from behind her as the door closed. Soon, something like a pipe was let in as smoke was being let inside the room.
Aurelia ran to the door and started banging, but just then, the violinists started to play below along with other instrumentalists.
She kept banging until she started to feel faint and slumped as she gasped for air.
There were only a few who knew about her asthmatic condition. her father, her late mother, and Nella.
Why would her father want her dead?******************

10 The things we want are so very rarely the things we need.
Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo’s County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful.
But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen.
Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new...
Until night falls once more.
Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy’s Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need.
