John Arbar: A Short Story

As a child, Jacob Portman loved to listen to his grandfather Abraham’s stories about his life in wars, his performances in circuses, and his life in a supposedly peculiar children's home run by a wise old hawk who smoked a pipe. As he grew older, though, he began to doubt his grandfather’s stories, until one day he went to visit his grandfather, and instead found him dying in the woods near his home. His dying grandfather tells him to go to the old children’s home and to “‘Find the bird. In the loop. On the other side of the old man’s grave…’” (page 37). Jacob feels something watching him, and raises his flashlight to reveal a beast that seemed to have been translated directly from his childhood nightmares. After his grandfather’s death, no one seems to believe Jacob’s story and his parents decide to send him to a psychiatrist, named Dr. Golan. Dr. Golan believes it would be best for Jacob to do as his late grandfather said and to visit the old children's’ home. Jacob and his father decide to go to the island, but later Jacob finds the house long deserted, covered in vines and trees.

The sound of the shoes against the tiles, echo as she enters the dining room. As she walks closer to the dining room the she becomes more visible, but smaller in size.

Suddenly the big door in the back of the room whooshes open. A deep, carrying voice greets the room with

The camera pans to the opposite side of the room, where two guards are shown guarding a door identical to the one AUDREY is in front of. Suddenly the door, outlining three people. The girl hears the door open, halting her attempt to break free. She turns her face so her ears are facing the direction of the noise. As their footsteps get louder, she sits up straighter.

Sticking to the wall, she keeps her eyes on the ceiling to try and find any hidden security cameras like he had shown her before. Once she decides that it’s all clear, she makes her move; feet discreetly moving her down the hall. Teeth bite into her bottom lip as the nervousness racks her petite frame while her brain is swimming in a swamp of thoughts.

It was inspired by Mexican cuisine, and it contained a blend of corn, avocados, and tomatoes. Some of his customers at the restaurant told him to add a saline ingredient to it since it was not salty enough. Taking his customers’ advice, he sprinkled salt and pepper into it. He was very happy with his job as a chef and enjoyed satisfying the appetites of voracious customers.
