A Short Story : A Story?

Lizzie's mother stated, "I usually ignore what Lizzie is saying because she doesn't know what she is talking about."

“They locked me in the closet because I told them the sun was going to come out. I knew it was going to, but no one believed me,” Margot replied solemnly. “Can I talk to Mother?”

“I’ll pick up my phone tomorrow,” Marlene said, hanging up the phone as Jerry opened the kitchen door, she knew by the expression on his face that he was furious.

“Mother, leave it alone! Don’t say anything to Jerry or Sandy. If you do, you’ll wish you had kept your fat mouth shut. I’ll see you in your grave before you cause us trouble.” Marlene threatened as someone knocked on the door.

Marlene drove into the garage and smiled when she didn’t see her husband’s car. She picked up their mail and went through the garage, up the steps and into the kitchen. After tossing the mail on the counter, Marlene threw her purse on the chair, and then went to the kitchen to make a fresh pot of coffee before starting

“Margot, can you go get your bag? We’re going to go on a trip!” her mother exclaimed, in a tone she didn’t remember, a pitch of desperation that was before unnoticed.

“Mandy, you met her at the faculty awards. She’s planning a trek up Mount Elbrus next year.”

“Barnes’ residence, Marlene said when she answered the phone and saw her mother, Katherine Lincoln’s name on the phone.

What upset him? Marlene wondered and worried if he had overheard her talking to her mother. However, Marlene dared not to ask about it, instead, he kissed her on the cheek, and asked, “Are you alright?”

The light was shining on Evangeline's face as she opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing and as she looked around her, she didn't know where she was at. It wasn't until she saw Mason and Casey sleeping beside her on the pillows that she remembered everything. The dancing and food and the new hideout. The alcohol and the laughing. The bright light. The loud noises. Everything. The world has died back to normal, no longer having the sharp clarity it had the night before. Her mouth was really dry though, so she climbed down the ladder, trying not to wake the others. She quietly crept to the mini-fridge in the corner of the room and pulled out a glass of water. They didn't have any Tylenol, so this would have to do for now. She ungraciously chugged the bottle of water and sighed, plopping down on the nearest beanbag and closing her eyes.

He left the office and went straight to the bedroom. He was going to see if there was anything that he could change into, but he immediately just collapsed on the bed.

Skylar woke, startled, to the sound of the alarm clock. The one in this New York hotel was much louder than the one on her nightstand at home. She guessed it was because of the loud street noise. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead! Guess where we’re going today,” said Skylar’s mom. “Where?” Skylar responded in a half-asleep tone. “Since your afraid-of-heights father is back at home while we’re on vacation, I thought we should visit the twin towers,” her mother replied. “Really? Let’s go!” Skylar said, jumping out of bed, grabbing some clothes, and darting into the bathroom to get dressed.

“Why’s there a child in my bed?” Jinki questioned, walking out of his room and back into the main area of the flat, where Minho and Taemin were sitting at the island separating the living room, that was apparently made for dwarfs, from the kitchen that even ants would struggle to cook in (not that they cooked often, though - ordinarily they would order takeout or Teukie would drop food round and eat with them if he wasn’t busy dealing with his own problems).

“When will that dumb bell ring?” Kenzi thought to herself. She was sitting half off her seat to get a head start to her car. Her and her friends were supposed to go to a corn maze after school and she knew she couldn’t be late. She jumped out of her seat as soon as the bell rang.

Wake up Jax, wake up! This was the first thing I heard before a hefty bucket of water was discarded on to me. I woke up with distraught, complaining that it was a Saturday and that I needed more sleep. I turned on my phone, noticing that the date on the screen read May 7, 2022. That was when I realized, today is going to be one of the biggest days for me. I am going to be taking both my Math and English SAT. I felt ready, yet I also had an uneasy feeling stuck inside me. I had been studying for the past 3 months, taking PSAT’s and what not. I didn’t have to go to my school to take the SAT’s for another 3 hours, so I decided, why not take a little nap before I go? JAX, IT’S 1:15 PM, YOU ARE GOING TO MISS YOUR SAT’S! “This is just a dream,” I thought, “I’m going to keep sleeping, there’s no way I slept more than 3 hours already.” Then it came, Slap!
