My Whole World Burning from Around Me
"It's Friday afternoon and I'm on my way home from school. Tomorrow's the funeral so I know I won't get any sleep. For those of you who are new to my life my crazy Uncle Edburt just passed." I ripped the page out of my journal, crumpled it into a small ball, and threw it in my offices garbage can. I had been working on my journal entry on the bus ride home so I continued to write "It's Friday afternoon and I'm on my way home from school," every time I tried to write even though I got home from school a half an hour ago. Frustrated I tried again a couple more times. Till eventually I gave up. I knew Uncle Edburt's death was getting to my head. Even though he was crazy, he and I were best friends. I knew I was really going to miss him. To try and clear my head I went to a bonfire I was invited to a while ago. Hadn't planned on attending, so my appearance might be a small surprise. The bonfire helped but people kept on telling me i looked down so I knew sadness was just bleeding through my skin. at midnight the bonfire ended but my head still wasn't cleared so I went to Uncle Edburt's house so i could have some time to think. While I was approaching the house, I could almost see Uncle Edburt coming out to greet me and set before me a day of strange but fun activities. But I didn't see it and will never see it again. That thought got my head hanging lower than it would be if there was an anvil taped to it. Walking into the house I saw a bright light, a bright fire in fact. I heard the rev of a motor in the garage. Someone else was here. I dashed through the inflamed living room with the fire hot on my heels. Get it HOT on my heels. Never mind that lets get back to story. In the garage I saw a jet black limo pulling out. I went into a sort of phase. A phase were you don't think you just do. I jumped down all the stairs and did a front roll on the cement floor, something Uncle Edburt taught me and I had done many times before. The limo driver pulled out a gun and fired, just barely missing my head. I dove and smashed through one of limo's windows and landed right in the hot tub. Finally, reality caught up to me and I thought they would kill me right then and there, but thankfully they didn't because if they did the next events wouldn't unfold.
