Thomas’s face grew stern. “Well, you can’t have any!” Frankie stuck out his tongue, and then quickly turned on his heels and took off running down the street. Max darted after him disappearing into the crowd.

We shared this game until I could no longer KNOCK KNOCK on your door. Mama took you on a ride with mama, until you arrived as a confused boy standing in front of rusty gates. Mama carried you in, KNOCK KNOCK until you saw me sitting behind a big glass wall. You ran towards me with full grin on your face. Until KNOCK KNOCK a big glass wall was in front of you. You tried so hard to KNOCK KNOCK down my door. Until mama had to pull you away from the glass. With your face of disappointment and harm.

It all began with a simple phone call one stormy, gloomy night after dinner. “Jake,” his mama yelled up the stairs,”its for you”. “Its Victoria, she sounds distressed.” As he was making his way down the stairs, he was getting more worried. It was too late for Victoria to be calling at this time, he thought. He was also really tired after his work and homework he was looking forward to some quiet alone time, he really just needed to relax and not get roped up into one of Victoria’s dumb fights again.

“Fuck off, James!” she screamed and yanked herself back onto me. Dad didn’t say anything for a while, then he sat down next to Cade and apologized to everyone – but he stared me right in the eye when he did. Mom finally let me go, but then she picked me up, sat me on her lap and held on even tighter. She was shivering. “Cade told us what happened, but…can you explain it to us,” Dad said.

They had found food and they were ravenous. Trying to stem the sobs that threatened to overflow, you looked at the gun in your hand. You had planned for this. You refused to be one of those things currently pounding against the door.

Mr. Brunner was a modern day buissnessman, who always wore a blue button- up shirt, black pants and a grey coat. He lived alone in the suburbs all by himself close to the city. He didn’t like living alone, and he wasn’t married. While he was walking home, he saw an

“Don’t say that. I’m sure she’ll be fine,” said Erin. “But I’m really scared.” “It’ll be okay,” Erin tried to reassure me. Little did we know. We drove around for an hour longer, became bored and went home. When we got back to my house, Erin, Lisa, and Gavin stayed in the living room as I went down the hall to let Powder, our dog, outside to go to the bathroom. I walked around my mother’s bed to the patio door and opened it and called for Powder to go out. He was lying on my mother’s bed at her feet. I called to him, “Come on, Powder, go out.” I was calling as quietly as I could; since, I didn’t want to wake up my mom. She needed her rest after last night. But he just whined and wouldn’t move. I finally went over to him, picked him up, and put him outside. He just sat outside the door and stared in at me.

“Whatever Ben, it’s not that big of a deal. I don’t care if we get suspended” Max said casually. Just then Mrs. Howard walked out and told the boys to go talk to Mr. Brooks themselves. They walked in and sat down while their principle

Mrs. Johnson awoke up to the sound of birds as the sun shone in her window. Today will be a great day, she thought. She made a big breakfast for her husband, Mr. Johnson, and then after that she went for the door. “Don’t forget your Hershey's!” Mr. Johnson exclaimed. “Oh, thank you,” she replied as she grabbed them. As she walked out the door she felt a cool autumn breeze. She smiled to everyone she passed, and even helped an old lady cross the street. When she got to her bus, she gave up her seat to many other people. When she finally got to her stop, she thanked the bus driver and paid him a big tip. She walked off of the bus and saw a child crying on a picnic bench. She walked up to him and asked him what was wrong. He told her, “I lost my momma in all of these people and I can’t find her.” Mrs. Johnson took the boy to the police station and stayed with him as they waited until his mom came in. “Thank you, thank you for taking my son here.” The mother said relieved to Mrs. Johnson. “Oh, your welcome!” Mrs. Johnson told her.

“Thank you, honey; we’ll find something in the refrigerator. Now you run along,” Virginia said and acted relieved they were leaving and smiled as she closed the door behind them. “There is something wrong here, and I don’t
