A book of little stories

The Rocking Horse Boy

One day my family and I moved to a new big house in the outskirts of town. My family was made up of my dad, my mom and I. So when I got there there was no children on my street, it was getting dark but I decided to explore, I searched up stairs and down the I saw this patch of wall paper coming of under the stairs and in that patch was a key hole and a handle hanging from the handle was a key I ripped the wallpaper off expecting it to be a joke left by the last people that lived here but it wasnt. I unlocked the door scared to open it but I did and when I opened the door nothing happen the only thing was a beautiful old antique rocking horse sitting in the corner all by itself except for some little bottle filled with a colorful liquid, the rocking horse almost seemed lonely, then all of a sudden it said hi have you come to rescue me I froze in fear then it almost started to cry I was confused. It said "you're afraid of me like everyone else." I said "no and who else how long have you been here" all of a sudden I wasn't afraid anymore like it was a friend. The rocking horse replied I have been sitting here for the past 50 years being locked in this room being found and then covered up again and locked away. I said " no need to be afraid, and what happened and how can I help.". Then the rocking horse explained to me how he was a little boy once that lived in his house with his family his mother died in childbirth and it was only his sister and his dad to take care of him. Then his sister got bullied and ran away and he hadn't seen her since. His father was a scientist and was trying to figure a way to preserve the human mind and body. One day he went into his dads lab while he was out he wanted to look but tripped over the carpet in front of the door and he fell onto the table and knocked over some of the tubes they spilled all over him they looked so pretty all the different colors then he felt kinda weird he ran away he knew his dad was going to be mad so he went to his room and decided to play on his rocking horse the moment he touched he became the rocking horse his body and mind all fit into the rocking horse he was scared he tried to find his dad when his dad called him for dinner he tried to move but all he could do is rock his dad looked up and down but couldn't find him he went into his son's room and the rocking horse/ boy tried and talked he could he didn't think he could before but he could his dad was scared and frozen in curiosity his son told him the big mistake he made his dad was so sad for he was the last thing he had he spent the rest of his days looking for a cure he was just about to figure when his father slipped down the stairs and passed from his injuries from then on they thought that the rocking horse was possessed and hide him in the house with the little colourful medicine but he could not take it himself for he didn't have arms so he sat there hoping one day someone would pour it over him so that he could live the rest of his life, so I did. I poured the liquid over the rocking horse then after a flash of light there was a small little boy laying beside the old rocking horse I called my dad and convinced him to keep him and take care of him so me and Henry, the boys name lived happily ever after.
