A Short Story Moving Away

Another lonely holiday spent in the city of las vegas. Christmas is in a few days and my mom keeps bugging me about flying out to Ohio to see them. Rather than tell her I’m not up for the long flight, I step outside in the cold air to smoke a quick cigarette. Observing up and down my street I take notice on how every house is perfectly lined up. The only house that stands out is Miss Anns house. It’s just the fact that her lights are never on. I met her last year around this time exactly. The mail box is right in front of her house so I walked over to get my mail and she was sitting there in a rocking chair smiling. She greeted me and introduced herself. It was a quick hi and bye.

Sophia says to dad “ Why can’t we stay on the beach dad, i wanna swim and fish all day.” Dad says, “ Well honey, I’m getting tired of burning up all day, all the waves all day, and the screaming of little children on the beach all the time.” Sophia says “ everybody else but you wants to move so why can we not move to Los Angelos, California.” Ron and Anderson don’t even care if they

He was taciturn, knowing that if he called for help no one would hear except the sharks circling beneath his dangling feet. Looking down, he saw the monsters attack a large fish coming from the nearby coral reef. Mashing teeth made blood pour from the innocent animal, feeling as if he could hear the gruesome killing despite the crashing waves, a juxtaposition of what would soon happen once he couldn’t hold on any longer. Knowing he couldn’t call out, he began a soliloquy, making a plan for how he would get out of this situation and praying to anyone or anything that could save him. The colloquialism pushed him to try and climb just a little bit higher and he reached his right hand up to grasp the rock

Before the sun was in the sky, we were in the car, ready to drive 1,000 miles to Georgia from massachusetts. I swear that drive was torture for a 6 year old, but I was excited to leave my Mom’s boyfriend behind. However, that was never the plan.

Amy’s medallion-colored taxi arrived at the Palmer Airport in Miami, Florida. It was a foggy night as Amy’s bright red heels clicked on the sidewalk. The large, modern building loomed overhead. As she strolled through the airport door, she was faced with a sinister scene. Dozens of flashing blue and red lights surrounded the enormous building.
