“Daddy!” She cries. That gets everyone from the kitchen into the living room where Meg sits on the ground with her father. Her mother looks at the man, and also gasps, then gets down to see if he is alive. You can see the liveliness in his ocean blue eyes slowly fading away. The strong, determined man Meg remembers isn’t fully there anymore.

I was so scared that my father would come back for another blow up. I then heard the stairs getting louder like my mother was step in down the old wooden steps. My mother walked over to me sat on the window seat with me and held me tight, she was started tell gn me riddles to get my mind off of my father, several long hours later my father walked up to us crying and sobbing over what had happened he said,”I'm sorry about this incident, I've just been so stressed with work and home that I don't know who I am anymore,” I told my father I loved him and forgive him. Ever since this day it has been drilled in my memory and hurts me every time I remember. “ see kid”, said the stranger, I've had some tough times in this house and you are going to go through tough times just like me. After the tour of the house the man had thanked the family for letting him remorse from the house. The father had shut the door and locked it. I thought

All we see left of the family are their shadows as they died in the sudden, swift explosion. “...their images burned on wood in one titanic instant...” The almost calming but

One hot day, I was getting home from school, and I can’t even get in the house good when my mom starts yelling, “Is that you Jordan.” I said, “Yes, mom it’s me.” “Well come here I have some great news,” mom stated. I asked her, “What was it,” and she told me, “We have to waited until your dad gets here,” so we waited. My dad finally got home then she said, “We’re going to Atlanta.” We all smiled with delight and happiness. That night we started to pack, and then the next day we left at four that morning. I don’t know how many miles it took because as soon as I got in the car I was knocked out like a bear. I woke up when we got there, and then we ate. We ate at a crab place, and it was delicious, too. The Second thing on the list was to check

‘Oh my god!” cried ruby. “ It will be alright” reassured josh. As they sped down the highway, they noticed how everyone else was also evacuated. And then the cars in front of them slowed down and eventually stopped. The Robinsons could not see why the cars stopped and so josh got out of the car and looked and then ran back to his car. “What is is?” asked ruby. “A giant car pile-up I don't think I wanna try to get through it so we have to turn around.” rambled Josh. “Josh we have to help the people in the car crash!” panicked ruby. “Listen ruby I need to get you guys to safety if it's the last thing I do I need to make sure you're safe.” snapped Josh. Even though you could tell that ruby disagree she did not argue. So they turned around and moved on. As they left Montana and entered Canada it was nearly 12:00 o'clock and everyone was asleep but Josh. The Canadians were welcoming all Americans who were affected by the eruption. And the Robinson family and many others were finally safe, but their homes were destroyed. And their lives would never be the same because they would always remember when Montana was

“Good morning, Maurice!” Granny Ethel calls with unmitigated cheer, and a hint of pride. “Nice morning, isn’t it? Oh! Have you met my wonderful grandson Todd? He finally came to visit! We’re going shopping now. Will you watch my house?”

After many confrontations with him, my father had finally told me what had happened that night. That night my father's life; including mine; had completely changed. My mother had wondered off into the spare room and never came out. She was 4 months pregnant with me and was going to turn the spare room into my nursery. However, it never became reality. My father never really knew what actually happened in that room but, he heard screams penetrating out from the room. The screams had rung in his ears and he had sprinted up stairs. My mother was pinned to the ceiling, stomach cut and flames barricading around her. A silhouette of a man, but the soul of a demon stood over the crib dripping blood into the baby's mouth, which was lying in the

All those days of slowly crumbling before him finally took their toll. I’m still unsure as to whether or not he saw the panic attack, I do hope he didn’t. Seeing his mother like that would have scarred him for life. I wish I could know for sure that he didn’t, but the Lord has not granted me permission to view the past. All I have is memories of clutching my throbbing chest, and trying helplessly to suck air into my burning lungs. Despite the Lord’s command, I still haven’t found it in my heart to truly forgive my father for sending me to the nut house instead of providing me with the comfort and love I so desperately needed. My punishment was not done, however, as I grew distant from my son. I refused contact with him, and allowed his nanny to raise him as her own. Does this mean I am to blame for my son’s sins? Father in Heaven, I need guidance. I don’t know what to do with these memories, I’m trying to hold back my emotions, but I don’t think I can do it for much longer. I need your help, my Lord. Deliver me from this

I see them from the darkness. Having fun, living happily with the sins that they have committed. An uncontrollable emotion comes over me, then I make my move. My arms engulfed them, squeezing them until they break. I could hear every bone in their body breaking with each excruciating second. My body soon after covered in blood. A child screaming behind me. I approach him, his whole body on the floor shaking with fear, eyes swelled with tears by the sight of the pulverized bodies on the ground and the river of blood. Sadness came over me as seeing the child's horrified face reminded me of my own. I turned around slowing disappearing into the darkness leaving the child petrified.

My mother then proceeded to tell me her version of what had happened. I realized then that the person who talked to her wasn’t a selfless person willing to rescue me; he was a man who promised to never let me see light again unless my mother gave him what he asked for. She never went into too much detail, because I knew she was afraid of remembering, afraid of going back to that painful moment where she feared for the safety of her children. That night I laid in bed, and thoughts of guilt consumed me. The only person at fault had been me, I had been the person who left the house and took my brother, I was the person who took the cab and went to the mall, and I had been the one that gave that man all of my personal

Calum liked the feeling of breathing in the morning air, but that pleasure was taken from his lungs when his fingers met his lips. Instead of the sweet fresh air, he was breathing in death, wondering when it would come. Smoking was calming to him. When the entirety of his focus was on that one cigarette, everything else escaped his mind, and for a few minutes the only pain he felt was the dull burn of the cigarette.

‘it was for the best, it was for the best, now they won’t witness your death, it was for the best’ spilling from her mouth in a mutter, like a kind of disturbed religious mantra, as she rocked back and forth beside the dead body of her child. A few streets over a child, seven or eight, stood staring at his father, silently begging him to get up, to just move, give an indication that he wouldn’t become one of the horrifying things that lay strewn in the street, mouths hanging open in a silent scream. The devastating truth crushed down on the boy when he leant down to touch his father's face and felt the cold, clammy skin beneath his fingertips and, despite his age, he knew that his father was gone and wasn’t coming back. The man that had done so much for him had become one of the many bodies that lay overlooked and forgotten on the ash covered streets, a once meaningful life buried in the ash of a fire that was soon to destroy an entire

I was sitting on my favorite chair going through photos of Max, my eldest son, while my husband was putting up photos on the mantel above our fireplace. Quynh, my youngest daughter of three, asked me about the photo with a young woman in a black and white photo wearing a pair of heels. “Mom who is this?” I took a look, “She is your grandmother”. She looked down at the photo again, and then she ran to one of the boxes and gave me a pair of blue high heels, “Are these the shoes she’s wearing?” I answered, “Yes. Yes they are.” It was about time she knew so I sat down by the fireplace with her. “Let me tell you a story about your grandmother,” She cuddled up with me and brought our kitten, Mun, with us. I made sure she was comfortable and

Aunt Georgia stood up beside my bed, bended down and kissed my forehead. "I am going to make you some tea and check on your father. Lie down and rest, sweetheart." "Thank you, Aunt Georgia."
