A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

I was 6 years old when I lost my father. My little brother Brian was about a month, he did not get to know our father. I was 3 years old in a nice spring day when I heard my mother scream for help. As I walked in the room to see what was going on I saw my mother next to my father in the bed. My mother was crying for the first time. I started to know how to talk but I did not know what was going on at that moment. I asked my mother what was wrong with Daddy she said it is hard to explain to you Marie you are still small. I just hugged her so hard like I hug my horse Bill. My dad looked like a blob in the bed. Then I saw my grandma Dory come in, and then she started to cry. I was really confused. I was just a little girl running around the house enjoying my childhood.

Before my father passed away my mother always seemed happy like when she was cooking for us every day. She will always sing her favorite song and she seemed happy every day. But since that day that my father died it was just my mother Amy, my grandma Dory, my older brother Carl and my younger brother Brian. Then as I remembered we had one uncle named Jane he was my dad’s brother, they almost looked alike. Sometimes I even called him dad. He was sweet like my dad but he did look old.


Then one day my mother woke up so early she was very happy I was surprised. My grandma was still sad about my father’s death after 3 years old. As my uncle worked outside in the warm weather planting our crops. My mother was cooking. She seemed the same like before when my father was here. Then I saw the table done. It had an apple pie, apple juice, and some cheese. My grandma was carving in the bread. It was annoying just hearing her move the knive back and forth.

Then as we all sat down there was only one seat missing without a person. My uncle did not want to seat because that was my fathers seat so he was honoring him. So he was going upstair. As we started eating you saw my older brother Carl eating a lot. Brian was just looking at his cup of tea. My mother was feeding my horse but i wanted to feed it i tried to get its attention but my mother just kept feeding him. Then you will here the dog yawning. That was the best day of my life becuase we were here as a family with my father's spirit at the table.

Top Secret

It was my best friend’s deepest, darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep. I was shocked when she told me. I have known Stephanie since I was in first grade at Avondale School. We had been together for years. But once she had to transfer from school. And once I received a call, I barley notice the voice then she said it’s be Stephanie. We were in eighth grade. I was in Logandale and she was in a Christian school. She said she was going to Lane I told her me to.

It came to our freshman year we had the same classes so we talked a lot. She had a boy friend his name was Joshua. I really didn’t like him I considered him a player and that she was using her. I told Stephanie but she didn’t believe me. Then as our freshman year ended we began sophomore year. Stephanie and Joshua had been on and off. I consider that relationship over but they always went back together. Then as we one day in October Stephanie said she was going to ditch school with Joshua I told her no because that will be a big mistake. But she still did it anyways.

Then she ditch and I did not know what happened. She continued being normal but something fishy was going on. Then one day she came crying to me saying that I was right that she didn’t have to ditch. She had done a big mistake with her boy friend. She said I am still young. I am just 16 years old. I did not know what she was trying to tell me. I told her to tell me what was going on. Then she said I am pregnant I am three weeks. Then she told me that she wanted to abort it. I did not know weather to go with her idea or not. She was barley 3 weeks and she wanted to get rid of her baby. I said it’s your mistake and know it time for you to take responsibility.

Then I told her if she already told Joshua, she responded yes but he just said its over it’s your baby not mine. Stephanie began to cry. I told her you know what lets tell your mom. Stephanie said no because she will kill her. I told her she is your mother she will be mad but she will still love you no matter what. Then she said no I am going to get rid of it no matter if you’re with me or not. But the only thing she said was to keep the secret that she was pregnant and she was going to get rid of it.

I was confused weather to tell her mother what was going on or just let her loss the baby she had in her. Then the next day I told her you now we been best friends since first grade we make mistakes but you should have the kid because you caused it to happen. As her answer she said no I am not going to be a young teenage girl with a baby aright. In that same day I went to her house and talked to her mother. Her mother kicked her out of the house but then she got her back in. Stephanie’s mother was ashamed but she was in the same case because she gave Stephanie a lot of freedom.


Then Stephanie’s mother came to the school and told the principle about what was going on and she still continued school with her big belly. She began to realize that it was her fault and she will have to take the responsibilities. So as she was about to give birth, Joshua said I am going to give our kid my last name. Stephanie was surprised. Then in the hospital they seemed happy. So the secret wasn’t that much of a secret no more because the whole school knew about it by then. So I said to myself I made a great decision on tell Stephanie’s mother on what was occurring to her. So I felt relieved when the secret was out of me. And as further more Stephanie gave me the thanks on what I have done to her life. So we are still best friends no matter if we have a bad or good life with good or bad secrets. We still love each other(no homo).

Her Mysterious Death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances and I was assigned to the case. I Clair Welloff was investigating in Ana’s house were she was killed. This girl Ana was only 19 years old. She lived in a small town called Dillahunt. She had troubles with her family. Her mother Silvia always abused her, she smoked. Ana had heroin in her arms. There were bruises all over her body. Ana’s father passed away in a strange way. As her father was described by the mother he was tall, strong, and was a nice person. Ana had a sister she was a quiet girl. Her sister’s name was Avis. She was 15 years old. She seemed not to have trouble at all but she was afraid. I asked Ana’s mother if there were other people that didn’t like Ana she said yes, one guy in her school his name is William.


William was a weird creepy guy. He always will pop out of no where. I said to the mother when Ana died was he any place close the house. She said “Yes” he was in front by the street. I thought to myself well there are only two people that could of killed Ana, it was either the mother or William. I had to investigate more. The next day I went to my office I started to research information about Ana’s life and her past accidents. Ana was in the hospital when her father died. She was threatening to kill herself. I would figure out that she might have killed herself but no it does not connect on how she would stabbed herself 7 times with a knife. Then I went to Silvia’s history. It said she had been accused of two deaths but that the cases were still not closed. I wondered.


William’s life was scary he life in a small house. Is mother was a serious killer now she is in jail. His father was a man that was a drug dealer. Then William was also a guy that abused a girl but did not get charge. This was a strange case. I had no idea of who killed Ana. I was so confused. I needed more information. Then I went to the hospital where that dead body of Ana was in. I examined her body. Marks everywhere, knife stabs in her lower body.


Then I looked in side her mouth there was a note in side it. I graved it and opened it. The note said “I’m sorry and rot in hell.” After this I called the Silvia and told her that the murderer put in a note inside Ana’s mouth. Silvia started to say what it said I told her. Then I said I will be going to her house. As I arrived Avis was outside sitting drawing. I didn’t look at the drawings but she seemed to have fun. So I knocked on her door and I explain to Silvia everything Then all of a sudden Silvia graved a cigar. I had a flash back about the note. It gave me a suspicion that it was the mother that killed her own daughter. All the clues applied to her she smoked; there is fire when you lit up the cigarette; Silvia wasn’t that shocked. I thought she had a strange face. Then I said “I am not trying to threaten you but you are the main suspect that I have” Then Silvia started to say you know what get out of my house right know you are the worst detective. So I then I walked out and immediately called the police to come and get her before she kills her other daughter Avis. So then I got my case done it was the one that killed her daughter. Then I sat down by Avis and started to see what she was drawing in her sketchbook.



The drawings were shocking I told her if I could take a look and she said” sure.” So I started to look at the drawing since the first page they were all deaths. Then I looked at her face she seemed scary. Then I came up to a page where there were two girls. One of the girls was her I guess the other one was her sister. I told her to explain what was happening. She said “I always hated my sister I stabbed her 7 times” No one aw me only her. I told her “you killed your sister?” She said yes. I was shocked. The police had arrived. Avis started to cry. She said I don’t want to go to jail. I said sorry it is too late. Then Silvia came out and said get out of my house. Avis came running to her mother. I started to walk to the police and said “sorry the mother was not the murderer it was the daughter.” They were shocked also then they said “we are going to take the girl to the police station and let her tell us everything.” I said ok. Then I walked to Silvia and said I am so sorry but your daughter Avis killed your daughter Ana. She let go and she said you killed you own sister why!!!! Silvia started to cry. I grabbed Avis and said don’t worry but you will have to go with the polices. She started to be crazy and screaming no don’t take me. They took her by force and put her in the police car.



Then as they arrived in the police station she was calmed down. Then they interrogated her and but her behind bars. She was going to be in jail for 15 years. She started to feel bad of what she had done. But inside her she still had hatred. Now this case is over and it comes to the next case for me to solve. This was one case that was a good one for me to solve to hope that many deaths have gone I will get the killers.
