Twisters on Tuesday


Twister on Tuesday

Jack opened his eyes. It’s that time of day when you are still hypnopompic. Some may dread the day ahead, some may wake and rejoice the day given to them. Whichever you are Jack wakes every day full of cheer and a smile on his face but today were different. On a normal day Jacks sister Annie would come in and wake him up but where is she? Jake rises from bed and with a whirling sensation he sat back down.

“What was that”, Jack mumbled under his breath.

Now sitting back on his bed Jack wondered what was going on. As he thought about it his head hurt more and more.  Where is Annie? As soon as the thought was finished Jack was kicked by a horse. His head pounded with pain, bang…bang…bang. Elbows on his knees and hands in his head Jack fought the pain.

What is that? Jack wondered as he looked at the floor. Already bent over jack picked up a glass filled with what looked like water. Jack tipped the glass up and took a drink. It is water, the best water he has ever tasted. Gulp, gulp, and gulp. After it is all gone Jack sits the glass down and tries again to stand up. With success the pounding in his head goes away.

“Annie!” shouts jack “Annie where are you?”

Jack walks to the door and again shouts “Annie!”

“Jack? Is that you?”

Jack rushes to Annie’s room. Startled Jack freezes

This is the point where you would expect a commercial or the end of a chapter something to keep you wondering for what is next to come. Ideally I wish I could end it here and start another book. I won’t. I can’t. There for I will use my thoughts as a narrator to hang you in suspense. While I do I want you the reader to ponder on the thought if what Jack sees. Also this is where I wish I could ask you what you want to see not so I could listen but more of pure curiosity.

Chapter 2

I decided to make this a “chapter book” though I may not see five chapters it something I wanted to do. We left the last chapter with Jack in Annie’s room.

Frozen Jack looks around following the voice of Annie. He never realized how big Annie’s room actually was. He looks from one side of the room to the other and still nothing.

“Annie!” Jack shouts again.

“Jack?!”

Beyond any doubt jack follows where he thinks the sound is coming from. The closet. Why didn’t he think to look there? That should always be the obvious place to look but never the less he has found her.

Jack opens the door and looks inside. Nothing or no one.

“Down here Jack” explained Annie

Jack looks down “Annie, why are you in here? How did you get here? Who did this to you?”

“I don’t know.” said Annie “The last thing I remember was I woke up and it was dark.”

Jack leaned over and helped Annie up. They both hear a boom in the distance it sounds like a ringing in the back yard they walk to the window, they see nothing. Its dark. Not the kind of dark where you have the glow of a moon either.

We all have been in the dark, right? Well, have you been out in a full moon? There is that glow where you can see everything as if it were almost day. What about a night where it is a full moon and the glow of the moon illuminates the fog so that you can hardly see the things coming as they whiz by. There are also the nights where it is a half-moon where you can hardly see anything but just enough that you won’t step in anything you wouldn’t want to. Well the night that Jack and Annie see is nothing light any of these. In fact it’s much worse, much much worse. Imagine that you walk to your window and nothing, just dark. You stare off to the darkness hoping to see something but you can’t. Not even a moon. It’s all gone; it has disappeared or maybe hidden.

The sky is black, pitch black. The children fail to be able to even see the tree behind the house where they swing and climb.

“What happened to the tree?” Asked Jack, “Where did it go?”

Annie steps backwards to the door of the bedroom slowly without Jacks notice. She is on a new mission. She wants to know what is going on. Another boom comes from outside again. Same place different sound.

Where are my manners? I failed to introduce Jack and Annie. I apologize, Jack is the older brother of the two he is 12 years old a little nerdy if you want my opinion. There is Annie and she is 9, she is probably more mature of the two though she is much smaller. Annie has the drive of a 14 year old girl, which includes the mouthiness and the sarcasm; she also refuses to show her feeling which is unique for her in her way. Jack on the other hand he mature don’t get me wrong but he is still very dependent on mom and dad kind of like a youngest sibling would be.

Annie reaches the door and then sprints to the back door. As she reaches it Jack is only a few steps behind. The door opens and then a gust of wind blows the door open all the way throwing Jack and Annie across the room. Rain starts pouring in the room flooding it in a hurry. Jack gets up and pushes to the door. He reaches it and starts pushing in hopes of shutting it. Half way is as close as he can get. Behind him Annie helps. With the two of him they work on getting the door shut. Water flows in and is ankle deep right now Jack knows the chances of getting the door shut is slimming with every second passing,
