A Short Story : A Story?

One night when Ana had sing the ordinary good night song for the girls and left the room after they had fall asleep, something strange happened. Both Robert and Ana got a feeling that something was wrong with Katie and run up to the bedroom. Emily was sleeping peaceful but Katie doesn't, she was shaking and cried in silence.

Kelsey's phone went off, indicating she had a text, and for a moment she just stared at her phone. It wasn't her parents, they didn't text. The friends from highschool she was still in contact with she mostly emailed or skyped. She eventually reached for her phone, and was surprised when she saw it was from her brother, "How about a party?"

Clive sits at his desk while the Laynes settle into the chairs in front of him. Liv decides to remain standing. “I am very sorry for your loss Mr. & Mrs. Layne.” A few moments later, Clive starts to ask them questions about their daughter. The mother speaks up: “Our Katie was such a sweet girl. She worked hard at school and went to the same dance studio every afternoon. She was perfect.”

They were in there for thirty minutes each trying to clear their head. They sat in the shower and cried the whole time they were in their trying to remember their mom and dad. When they got out Katie made dinner for the two of them. They ate the frozen dinners she brought from the gas station. It tasted like old moldy pizza. The taste was stuck in their mouth for the whole night. All night, Katie had been thinking about everything that she could do to make sure Jeremy was safe and okay.

When she got to to Sarah's house she knocked on the door waiting for someone to answer. When Sarah answered the door Katie ran and gave her a big hug. When they went inside they went in Sarah's room. When they were in Sarah's room they started watching TV, and talking about boys they like. After having a good time they went to pick up Samantha and go

Jealousy crept through my body when my parents told me that they were going to dinner in the Willis Tower. Who wouldn’t want to eat on an upper floor of the formerly world’s tallest building? My brother and I waved them goodbye as they pulled out of the driveway. I walked upstairs to my room and opened YouTube on my computer. Nothing seemed amiss.

“Hello Martin” The Fat Lady laughed as she pushed the Stop button to the elevator. Martin’s heart sank. He started to sweat and shake his head. The Fat Lady eyed his trembling face and made a concerned expression.

Nadia stretched lazily and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She threw her comforter off her bare legs and slowly climbed out of bed. She picked up her old clock, and as she read the time, she jumped in alarm and quickly headed to the shower.

They woke him, woke him like she told them too. She could hear him , hear him in the other room, talking gibberish like he had before Caitlin put him to sleep back at CCPD. Her heart sunk a little, what was she expecting? She was expecting to find the man she was to marry, but instead it was the one that talked gibberish. It was still her Barry, just different she knew this. It just hurt her, frustrated her that she couldn’t understand what he was talking about. She was trying too, she really was it was just hard. She knew that his gibberish had to mean something but what, what did it mean, she needed to figure out, so she could help him. She placed her hands on her hips, head shaking back and forth “You can do this Iris, you have to do this… Barry needs you.” She told herself a few time, yet she didn’t move. She stayed put, staring at the door. It was only a brief walk she had to make until she was standing in the room with Barry, her Barry, yet it seemed like a mile. Why? She wanted to see him, she wanted to wrap her arms around him and smother him in kisses to make up for the time she lost with him. But fear kept her feet frozen to the ground. She dared not move, not yet anyway.

It was a freezing winter day and our whole family was inside huddled in one room by the fire place with a piping hot cup of cocoa with two or three marshmallows in it. Although it was warm inside Sarah and I wanted to go outside to the library anyways because we loved reading… well not so much Sarah but since I'm her brother we kind of did everything together. “Mother, Father” I said “ can me and Sarah go outside to the library?” they both paused and gave each other that one overprotective look and they said “John you only just turned 13 last week and Sarah's only 11” I realized that we would have to sneak out so when we were done Sarah and I quietly snuck out while the parents were distracted discussing things I wasn't paying attention to.

The girls peered through the window watching the worn SUV crunch down the gravel driveway. Their family has gone into town for the day, but the girls decided to stay at the cabin.

The year is 2100 and swirling flames of destruction are engulfing New York City. Alone in the hostile environment stood Duncan Smith, a thin 16-year-old boy with blond hair and wire rimmed glasses. Duncan came from a poor family and he always felt like things never quite went his way in life. He had never really believed in himself before, and most other people hadn’t either. Regardless, he loved life. But one day, two years ago, everything was taken away from him. In the middle of the school day, a UFO landed on top of the Empire State Building. Shortly after, he watched in horror as more and more flying saucer’s swarmed the city, destroying everything in their paths, including his family. After the smoke cleared and the destruction was finished, Duncan and the other survivors from the attack hid in the dark alleys of the city.

Jordan tripped. She fell on the rocks and her knee was damaged. The crimson trailed down the rocks, the pebbles. My sister. Drip. Drip. Tears. Drip. Drip. Blood. Drip. Drip.

“I’m sorry about your mother. Do they know what happened?” Margaret asked as Andrew sat down on the sofa.

After the party around 9:00 pm, everyone had left except Katie and her parents, Mark and Susan. Katie asked her mom “mom, I really want Kylie to come over.” Her mom replies “that is up to her mom.” Amanda says she can, so after they pick up a pizza, she drops Kylie off at Katie’s home. The girls were so hungry, they ate the pizza even though it was very greasy. That night, Kylie began feeling nauseated and she called her mom to come get her. She slept during the ride home and Amanda carried her inside. Kylie slept the whole next day. Her family began to worry, so they called the doctor. Her heart was still beating however she would not wake up.
