A Short Story : A Story?

The door cracked and wheezed on its hinges due to continued pressure on it. Kevin breathed rapidly, fearing for his life. “God, if you’re there...Please save me. PLEASE!” Kevin screamed, his vocal chords protesting from the sudden strain. “I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve it, but please NOT ME, PLEASE!” His pleas quieted to be repeatedly muttered under his breath. The door creaked sharply, and Kevin wrapped his arms around himself. He quivered and waited for the

“I don’t know.” I shake my head, rubbing my eyes. “I thought I saw someone opening the door.” Derik gets off of the piano bench and creeps over to the doorway. He grabs the edge of the door and opens it slowly. A hand suddenly reaches out and grabs Derik by the wrist. He starts and I almost scream, but I realize that I recognize those perfectly French manicured nails. It takes me two seconds to walk from the piano to the door and by that time, Brielle has already started dragging Derik down the hall.

All around me was darkness. Everywhere I looked, darkness. I heard nothing. But all of a sudden I heard my name. “Jacob, Jacob, JACOB!” I opened his eyes to find my brother shaking, and yelling at me. “What?” “Hi Jake!” He walks out of the room to go to the PlayBox. I looked at the ceiling to find the time, 8:51, and the date, August 10th 2035.

“Those are your salivary ducts going crazy,” he said. “You’ve never eaten before, Phillip. Never. Your jaw muscles are locked up and you’re producing an overabundance of saliva as a result of tasting sugar for the first time.”

The desert wind whipped loose tendrils of Madeline’s blonde hair around her face as they stepped onto the tarmac in Cairo. She tied a light blue scarf around her head, the ends fluttering just outside her view. She had chosen to wear a loose fitting white shirt and light blue pants and she was glad she had. It was a billion degrees here!

It was a starry night, and very icy cold out. I was setting up, and cleaning the house to make it as neat and as nice as possible for our next guest. I turned on the fireplace, straightened out the carpet. I opened the curtains a little bit just to draw some attention. I then sat very close to the door thinking of new plans, while I waited impatiently for someone to come to the door. It has been forever since I have had a visitor at my bed and breakfast. My next visitor would hopefully be somebody just right to add to my collection. My plan would be the same, it always works best and would be risky to try a new one. I will make sure they will want to have tea, and when I’m making the tea, I will poison their tea but for sure not mine. Then all of a sudden I hear the doorbell ring. I got up super fast and pulled the door open. I flashed a smile I urged him to come inside. I stepped aside and held the door wide open as he came inside.

After my nap I found my phone inside I called my mom and she answered. "Hey baby, how are you enjoying it" she said ans I brust of tears. "Its terrible he gave me to this guy and now I'm locked in this very house, I can't leave or do anything mom!" I screamed. "Take deep breathe sweety" I heard her voice cracking.

It was a cold darkening night when Fredrich began walking down the street of Warsaw, late at night when the city was as dead as a graveyard not a gunshot or cannon could’ve woken the dead, he was planning an escape on how to leave to America. He walked through North Avenue plotting every detail of his plan. Fredrich came across someone he did not recognize at all he thought to himself, “Who was this strange and dark figure,” because fredrich could not see his face, but only the shadow that dwelled there, had this menaced and restless feeling. The dark figure walked along the street. Fredrich decided to follow him regardless of the warnings inside him, but Fredrich’s curiosity got the best of him not knowing if this dark faceless man was dangerous. He followed the figure for about 30 minutes and it just disappeared into the night.

Clemmie woke in a strange room. Where was she? The only noise came from a fire where logs burned and crackled in a grate. Framed photos lined the top of a mantle but they were too far away to see. She stared for a while into the flames and let her mind drift. Shapes formed in the flames. First a gargoyle, and then a girl’s face. The bright orange light hurt her eyes so she let them close. A few minutes later she jerked herself awake again. She felt hot. She kicked off the blankets only to find she was naked underneath. She blushed and covered herself before anyone came in the room.

The following morning, Tomas’ alarm went off and I jumped up running out his door; I ran into his dad “Good morning Casey.” I smiled “Good morning.” He continued down the hall to the staircase; I went to my room and got ready for school. Tomas came in the doorway “Hey. Go ahead and take a shower first, I’m going to go eat something.” I nodded my head “That’s fine.” He smiled and left; I got in the shower.

.Zane looks at me and says, “Hey Alex, let’s go do something different.”i look back at him ‘’ok like what’’ zane said ‘’I don't know what do you think we should do’’ I look at him with a puzzled look and say ‘’maybe we could go get some friends’’ he looked at me then we looked at each other then he said ‘’sounds fine to me’’ we called some people we knew like, Dan and Jeremiah.

It was a day like any other. The sun had barely started to creep over the horizon letting few rays escape to illuminate our home.

Boom! Johnny knew that something happened being that he was the only one at work because the others went to get food. He heard a very loud sound and he got very suspicious. Boom! Johnny heard it again but instead he heard the sound from upstairs. Johnny ran up the stairs to see a kicked down door in apartment B3. He then remembered that the obnoxious Ms. Vin lives there and he tried to act as if he wasn’t there and ran down the first couple of stairs but then suddenly came an annoying loud sound which was Ms. Vin’s voice. She yelled Johnny! About 6 times even though he was right in front of her face. She then said in a mischievous “someone is in my house”. Johnny knew that Ms. Vin liked him even though her ex-husband lives right next door to her. Johnny went into the apartment to check it out when suddenly the door locked. Ms. Vin set up a date for Johnny without his permission. When she tried to offer him a piece of cake he dropped her most valuable plate and started yelling. Luckily Joe, Brad, Michael and Ryan chopped the door down and saved Johnny from completing a living nightmare. They all left locking their door downstairs so Ms. Vin couldn’t get in and they all had a feast. About 25 minutes into their feast they got an alert that on Fitzgibbon St. there was an abandoned apartment on fire. This apartment was the same apartment that the famous owl magician, Harry Hootdini, lived in a long time ago with his owner. Ryan started packing, Brad was getting the truck up and running, Johnny was making sure the squad had everything and of course Joe was eating. About 4 minutes into the chase the truck broke down. The squad panicked and didn’t know what to do. Brad came up with the idea of running because all members of the fire squad ran track in high school and college. With Brad carrying the super long hose they arrived to their destination and the fight was on. The team sprayed water and the fire was out.

He fell to the ground. Minutes past and not a single muscle moved within his body. A half an hour later, Jack and Johnna came back, bewildered to the fact that their brains were about to fry, hoping an answer lied through the door. But, instead they were shook as they opened the door.
