I have been writing stories ever since I was a little kid. I love sharing my stories with people. Some are from my tumultuous upbringing, some about my life experiences growing up, and others are just downright fictional.

And Then, It Happened
Rachael left and I ran upstairs. Crystal was right behind me with a million and one questions. She wanted to know everything. My response was to say nothing. I was digging through all of my things without even thinking. I started by looking through my work bag, I usually put it in there. I never left the house without it. Clothes were flying across the room as I was trying to get words out. “First, (throwing another armful of clothes) I noticed that none of it made sense. Then, ( there goes my headphones and my wallet) When I started looking up dates there was nothing.” Crystal was standing in the doorway looking even more puzzled now than she had been downstairs.

And Then, It Happened
How could this be happening!? I just can't believe this. My world was just spinning out of control. I couldn't believe it. Here I stand at 17 being told that the only parent I have ever known is gone! The officer at the door was talking and I know I should be listening, but everything was all garbled up. He had a kind face that looked so sad. He was an older man with lots of wrinkles around his eyes and little creases around his lips giving away the years that he had spent smoking. I knew he was trying to say whatever he was saying as kindly and gently as possible, but I couldn't even hear him. My brain was racing, where will I go, who will take care of me, can I do this alone. I was going to be 18 in like three weeks!! Before the officer could even finish I remember just saying thank you and closing the door. He stood there for a bit, on the other side of our glass front door staring at me. He was probably wondering the same thing I was, am I going to be okay. I stepped away from the door and everything went dark.
