"Wake up, Matias!" Mom yells from downstairs. I had already been awake for an hour or so so I yelled back down, "Coming!" I had been on my computer scanning over the news in awe. Washington D.C. had been evacuated over night because Maryland was found to have been planning an attack against Washington.
I pulled on my boots went down the stairs. The carpet on the stairs were wearing off, but we we didn't have near enough to replace it.
The smell and sound of bacon sizzling in the kitchen slapped me across the face with desire. My pace quickened down the stairs and into the kitchen. I sat down at the table that we had that was in our kitchen. It was unusual because the table was set. That must mean someone was coming to our house.
"Mom? Who's coming over?" I ask.
"Your fathers colleagues are coming to lunch," she answers.
"Why?" I ask.
"For reasons you are to young to know," she says.
"I'm sixteen mom. When will I be old enough?" I continue to question.
"In time," she says, ending the conversation. But I am persistent, "you said that two years ago, Mom," but she doesn't reply.
A few minutes later she walks to the table with a plate of bacon and puts it on the table and hands me a plate. Its times like these when I'm glad I'm the only child.
After eating the bacon (which was the heavenly) I went back upstairs to check if anything had changed with the news. I refresh the page I was on and the first thing that I read was "Breaking news! Washington DC decimated by furious Maryland rioters"
