I inched towards the opening of the cave and cautiously peeked out. As footsteps and voices approached, I held my breath as I pressed myself into the dampness of the cave.
“I think she ran into this one,” He stood at the entrance of the cave and peered into its shadows.
“Hey, there he goes!” Another voice shouted, a little way off.
As the footsteps ran away from the cave, I sank to the cave floor to catch my breath.
Hi, my name is Vanessa.
As far back as I could remember my father was always a con man. From selling fake jewellery, other people’s cars and even expired goods. One time he even sold a house and land that wasn’t even his. His boss went away for a few weeks and when we returned another family was living in his house! By that time, Dad and I had new identities and were living in another country.
I never knew my Mom and he was the only family that I knew about. I stayed with him until I was twenty.
After I struck a record deal and became a famous singer, I moved from Dad’s house even though I stayed in the same country. From time to time, I would send money to Dad hoping he would refrain from scamming others, but I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
