A cool Autumn breeze swept through Alex's hair. She strolled past her neighbors' house until something stopped her in her tracks. Her house was engulfed in flames. She ran up to her neighbors' driveway and knocked on the door. Tears started to stream down her cheeks. Mrs. Robins opened the door and asked in a sweet voice, "What's wrong, dear?" "Look," Alex said in such a soft voice that is was almost a whisper, "my house...in flames." Mrs. Robins gasped. She ran back inside and picked up the phone. Five minutes later, the fire trucks arrived, but it was too late. Her house was burnt to the ground. While searching the house, the firemen found human remains. They came trudging through the ashes and fall leaves with …show more content…
Now living with her creepy and overprotective uncle, she could barely get out of the house. The only chances to get out was when he went out on a date with his girlfriend. Tonight, he had a date. "I'll be back at 11," he said as he was walking towards the door, "and you remember the rules, right?" She nodded. "Okay, then. Bye!" He softly shut the door behind him. She waited five minutes to make sure he didn’t come back, then picked up her phone. She called her dad's friend, Mr. Robins, a forensic scientist. He came by in his car and picked her up. They drove to her …show more content…
Mr. Robins explained that the police must have missed the box. Fingerprints were found on it. The fingerprints were her uncle's. "Sorry. I have to go," she said quickly, "My uncle is coming. I'll talk later. She set the phone down next to her as her uncle walked through the front door and into the living room. "Alex, I need to talk to you," he said. She asked, "About what?" "I confess. I set the fire, but it wasn’t my fault. It's your dad's. He promised me a great deal of money to kill your mother. She was a sweet woman, but I couldn’t refuse his offer. Your dad didn’t get out of the house in time, causing he, your mom, and your house went up in flames. I... I'm sorry," he said, choking on the words, "I'm turning myself in." Thirty years later, Alex was married, had a son, and was pregnant with twins. She was asleep, oblivious to what was going to happen next. She awoke with a throbbing pain in her side. Alex saw a man looming over her with a knife glistening with crimson blood. The man was her dad. "You really didn’t think I was dead, did you?" he laughed. Then the world faded around

Finally after three or four days the sky cleared up and she could see the beautiful blue sky with the sun. She so badly wanted to go outside, and the kids were going crazy being cooped up in the house for that long. Even when the sky cleared she still couldn’t take the kids out because of all the ash. Thankfully her whole spring wasn’t ruined; even though they had a little set back with all the
Terrence looked across the grand expanse of the rose garden into the crystal blue ocean. White clouds and even whiter sails drifted across the depths. Marseilles gleamed in the early January sun. He turned his back to the view, choosing instead to watch his wife and children prepare to say goodbye to him.
Molly L. was still there.” you excited” I asked her. She gave me her creepy rat smile and said “ O ya”. I knew by her face that she was going to go for the part of the party girl too. “Well then let's see who gets a party girl.’’ I told her with sly voice. “ Alright then let's see who does get the part or maybe we'll both get it,”she told me straight up. “Okay well it is the Nutcracker after all there can be more than one girl in a family” I told her. We both waved goodbye and found our rides. When i got into the car I thought to myself was Molly L. going to give me a hard time about this. Little did I know

On September 11, 2000, I was in a little cafe in downtown New York when a young man came and sat right in front of me in my booth. Being occupied with my work, i didn’t look up until the waitress came over to refill my coffee. “ That’s quite a nice laptop you have. You must be really important to have one of those.” he joked. I just shook my head and mumbled “mhhm”. Neither of us had said anything else so, thinking he would leave i just went back to my work. 10 minutes passed by and we was still there. I looked up, “ Don't you have to be at a job?”, i said. He replied, ”My job requires me to meet new people and write about my experiences.” there was a confused silence, “i work for a newspaper, you may have heard of it, it's called the new york
There had been a search warrant for months, but no one ever found any evidence so the case was closed. Now years later Agnes was facing her best friend she’d never thought she’d see again. Agnes finally spoke up, “Your name is Mary, not Ann Marie.” Mary looked confused. “It’s me your sister, Agnes. Do you remember me?” Mary looked still clueless for a minute. Then Mary’s aqua blue eyes grew wide as she leaped into the water. Mary struggled to swim across the river with the rapids flowing vigorously. Finally, she reached the other side as Agnes helped her out of the water with tears streaming down her face. The two girls couldn’t believe they were standing face to face with each other once again. Then suddenly Mary started to tremble. “What’s wrong?” Agnes asked with concern.. Mary knew the schedule of when the kidnapper comes and leaves. He would be back
“Wait, how did the police know that they were doing drugs there? They were in his private store.” I went straight to the blind spot of the story. “And what about his wife?” I
She had to cook it well and make it taste as good as possible because the poor man was tired; and if she found anything unusual or terrible when she got home, then it would be a shock and she would have to react with grief and horror. Of course, she was not expecting to find anything unusual at home. She walked up to her front door and the door lock was broken, she looked at the door, puzzled, and then took a step in there were broken vases and books all over the floor, “what has happened ?” she wondered as she walked to where her husband was left and, to her horror, he was
It was a true Alaskan night. The air was crisp and the road was covered with sand and pebbles embedded in the ice. Frost was beginning to form on the frozen green branches of the spruce trees and there wasn‘t a soul in sight. It was an early Sunday morning two days before Christmas and my best friend David and I had thought of a brilliant idea. I was spending the night at David’s house which was only about a block away from where I lived. As naive eighth grade students, we hadn’t counted on getting in as much trouble as we did for a nights worth of fun. It all started when David said, “Bobby, lets go pick up my girlfriend, Justine. My mom should be sleeping now. We can sneak out the garage door, put the car in neutral and quietly roll it down the driveway. After that, we can push it down the street and start it so my mom won’t hear.”
There was an impending doom coming to the small town of Calamity. Unbeknownst to the citizens it would come firstly upon a church on the outskirts of a town. A few people were inside as the doom came closer. Preacher Tom was the first one in the church to sees what would haunt the town and was scared out of his wits. He pushes a young woman out of the doorway as he speeds into the church. He continues to bar the door and close up all of the windows as the surprised group stares on at him with suspicion. He dropped to his knees and prayed as a loud noise echoed through the building. The crowd began to scream as the windows rattled and the building swayed. All of a sudden, a whimper could be heard from the back side of the building. The sound was unmistakable, it was the tiny voice of little Lisa Cunningham. Mrs. Hamm hobbled quickly over to the door before anyone else could react. She threw the door open as Father Ted finally came to his senses. Lisa flung herself through the door into the arms of Mrs. Hamm. Father Ted lunged for the door and slammed his shoulder into it right before an unknown force bashed against the other side. Mrs. Hamm grasped the child as and attempted to console her as a sharp pain erupted in her breast. She looked down and saw a dark stain growing on her blue dress and jerked the child away. Everyone’s eyes went wide as they saw the scene unfolding before them. Lisa stood smiling; face covered in blood, and began to laugh hysterically. Mrs. Hamm was becoming hysterical as well, as she noticed that one side of her chest had become smaller than the other as a huge chunk had been bitten away by the child.
