A Short Story : A Story?

“Thanks, sir!” I rushed home to tell Darry the good news. He’d never believe it. I pushed open the door. The room was pretty dark. “Darry, you there?”

He looked around, then asked his mom where Dad was. She choked a little before explaining, “Dad’s really busy right now with saving more people, like the men who rescued you.”

“Don't listen to him,” her mother says, taking her hand and leading her inside the small house, closing the door on him. “He'll come around, Awen, you'll see. Please, sit down. We have so much to get caught up on, and I just put dinner in the oven.”

“Uh, yeah! Sure!” When I knew I was l alone I ran all over town looking for the source of the snow. I finally found it at an abandoned warehouse just outside of town. I waited a couple of seconds before saying something but before I could, someone spoke.

“WHAT?! Oh my God!” she screamed with a hint of crying. She bolted out the door, grabbing my brother by the arm, started the car and rushed to the hospital leaving Chloe and

She kept asking if she should cook dinner, but he wouldn’t answer her or talk to her. Mary noticed he wasn’t acting the same and that he was zoned out all the time. She was furious with him, and she left the room to figure out what she should do. She left to go to the kitchen, but she felt light and sick about what he did.

“I didn’t mean to scare ya. I-I jus’ needed to talk to you… About somethin’.” He stuttered, looking at his hands, which were worn from working in the fields. He dug his toe into the ground like a little boy trying to tell his mom he broke her favorite vase. “It’s about Lila. She’s not dead.” He looked into her eyes and let out a deep breath as if he had been holding it. As if, he had been holding that fact in all day just waiting for it to come out. He practically jumped on his toes when he finished.

“Oh sorry mother I’m just nervous. I really hope…” Terry began but then a nurse with ruby red hair and glistening blue eyes tapped him on the shoulder. She told them that Terry’s father was in critical but stable condition. They would also have to wait a couple of hours. Those hours were the most miserable hours of Terry’s life. Finally, the same nurse came back and invited Terry and his mom to see their father.

After a few minutes, the dinner was ready to serve and everyone was excited to eat. Tante Lou brought out the food and sat down at the head of the table, Miss Emma on the opposite end, and Grant and his girlfriend sat next to one another. They began eating and the four made small talk while the yappy dog begged and pawed at Vivian’s legs. Miss Emma spoke

He was trying to piece together a town plot all the while thinking how ludicrous that is when it hit him: he was in Mrs. Walker’s class too! He had written a letter with the rest of the class. What he couldn't remember was what it said. The more he tried to access his childhood, the more it eluded him. He remembered Mrs. Walker. He could recall how much trouble he was always in. He even unlocked the recollection of Amy Kessler: the first girl he had ever kissed. But the letter or what was written on it ran from his struggling mind. As he battled to remember, he glanced down at the lock, now twisting and flipping in his nervous hands. The violet glow was growing stronger. Why was everything different after Flemming read the letters? Why was his best friend not here? Why was Mike rich? Questions began swirling around faster and faster. Tom had to grab the stage to steady his weakening knees. He closed his eyes in an attempt to calm his mind and nerves. The questions still dug at the back of his mind like gnawing

“Dr. Flanagan here. I will email that report shortly. I have to do one more page and scan it,” she said with her back to this strange man. She prayed Bobby will be there quickly.

“Everything is ready in my car. So, whenever you are ready, we can go” his eyes were on Lizzy.

Pete walked into the kitchen. His mother was sat at the large wooden table doing paper work. He was slightly hurt that she didn't even look worried but excused it on account of the note he left.

Placing the phone back on the nightstand, Joshua went to his mother’s bedside. Speaking gently from the heart, he wept and asked, “Mom, what happened? The doctor said your hip was healing fine. Why are you gone? I love you so much, Mom.” Bending down, he kissed her on the forehead and wept.

Rose was sure that she would be fine, she had already had her dinner and all she had to do was a little bit of math homework, so she decided to take upon her mums offer and she rented a movie. The night started off normally. She sat down and decided on a movie, and before long she noticed that half an hour had passed and she really needed to start her homework so she paused the movie and went and got her math book.
