What Lies In The Dark

The new coming

  AND everything went black. Hello, I'm Samantha but my friends call me sam. I live in Colorado, Florida, in an apartment complex. My dad left to the army when I was a kid, and after that, I never saw him again. I've been living with my mom for 3 years, and it was fine until last week.

  Today is july 27th, the day before the accident. The day i started packing was April 19th. It was a nice day outside, and everything was fine. I got to pick out some new outfits and shoes. Due to the move, we were in a rush for some reason.

  My mom talked about going to a new place for almost 3 months. And my mom wanted to give us a whole new look. I'm not really into fashion, but something about how she was acting kind of threw me off. I've never seen my mom in such a rush to leave somewhere. But I kind of get it.

  The day my dad left, he told my mom that they would grow old in the house together, but now that he's gone, I think it's talking a tole over her. And now I don't know what may happen, but I keep everything together for both of us. We were supposed to move May 14, but something about that date just doesn't make much sense to me. The day she told me about that day, I got sick to my stomach. And that's when it hit me.

May 14th is the day my dad left for the army. And something about the way he left just doesn't sit right with me. We have moved into our new home, and nothing has happened. I begin school tomorrow, and I really don't want to go. I always get a weird feeling when days like this come up.

I miss my dad very much, and it's not a day I don't, but the way he left will always get. I can always recall the day in my sleep. It would start off by me walking my mom and dad up because of a sound at my window. Then my dad would walk in my room and look around but said it was nothing. Then there was a knock at the door, and my dad answered it was the army major telling him he had to go back to the army.

I just never wanted to see my dad leave, and it really hurt me to know that he was gone. But that's the past. I got dressed for school and put a little outfit together. And got on the road. The only thing in my head was what's the plan for today.
