"Ben honey come and eat, you don't want it to get cold." I hear my mother call me to dinner, "I have to go Paul." I leave my walkie talkie, I start to run down from the old tree house my father built me a few years ago, he's dead, he died due to a shark attack mom never spoke of him again. I think mommy forgot dad but I didn't. I don't want to ask mommy to get upset when I try, maybe when I'm older she'll tell me. "Mommy, I'm here, what did you make?" "I made your favorite, hear hon be careful it's still a little hot." I ate slower than usual but I hope mom didn't notice. Mom has enough going on. I just hope mom doesn't overwork herself one day, i don't want her to be like dad. "Mom, I'm done. I'm going to bed and I'm really tired." "OK, just please get some good sleep baby. Remember you have that summer camp tomorrow. I want you to be well rested, ok?" "Yes ma'am love you." "Love you son."
"Hello my names Ben, Benny lake McClain. I'm 23 years old and i died from an animal attack during summer camp at nine years old, back then i didn't know how i lived to this day i still don't understand how i'm still here. I feel nothing, I have no organs, nothing but a slow beating heart, I have scars everywhere. Once I woke up in the morgue I was given to some scientist. I hope and pray I don't go back. NO! NO! DON'T MAKE ME GO! I"M NOT GOING BACK!" BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I threw myself up. I looked around, good i'm not in a courtroom i'm relieved. "Ben, are you ok? You look like you saw a ghost." "Ya, YA! Im ok just a small nightmare. I have them all the time." "Is it about your father?" my...father. Mom has never said anything, not even that word since dad died. "No it's not dad just like sharks and stuff ha ha im still scared of them." "You should talk to me about them. It might help get over your fear, I did. I was scared of dolls for years, looking at my art room from roof to floor with them." "I should get ready, I have...camp." "OH! YES! I almost forgot i'll make you a quick breakfast.'' She closed the door with a rush. "I wish we both forgot..." Once I finished I dragged myself to the kitchen and sat at the dining table, my mom put a plate of bacon, eggs and a sausage patty. "Thank you mom smells amazing." "I hope so in a hurry, I don't want you to be late." "But it's so good mamma." " I know but you have a camp, let's go. You can eat in the car come come come." eat..in..the..car Is this my mother? Well i like new mom guess i have no choice i did it to myself ugh im so dumb. While we're in the car I'm trying to finish my food and hurry, I've also been trying to stall for time because I really don't want to go. We finally got there and I'm terrified and dreading this and wishing I told mom my nightmare before we drove out here. "Bye mom, I love you, I'll see you after...camp." "Oh don't be so mad I just want you to make friends ok, now have fun i love you to bye baby." She got back in the car, waved and drove away. " Ya bye baby" I turned around, a goody daddy's boy so gross and dumber than a dead monkey. "And mommy does not tell you she loves you?" I'm really trying not to be too rude. He could not have a mother, but in the end he probably deserves just a dad. "Crane, leave him alone, your parents named you after a useless bird." "NO! They named me after something else!" he had run away, PAUL? "Paul is. Is that you?" "Hey man, you think I'd leave a mate behind." "Thanks Paul, we should get going and find some adults. I don't wanna continue to be outside any longer, these woods scare me." "Oh ok, come on, follow me we all meet in the cafeteria cabin. I've been here a lot, that's why I'm barely able to hang out." I followed him to the cafe cabin, there's so many people there. I don't like it, I'm getting a bit cramped. " Hello Paul! Who's this?" "This is Benny, or he's new for the first time here, not used to all these people. Can we get our cabin number so he doesn't freak out please." "Yes of course, let me just see Benny, Paul Yes! Cabin 4 I wish we knew he had panic attacks with big crowds. We could have had him in the cabin next to the helpers and director." "I think he'll be ok with me . I've known him since we were three, come on Ben lets get you out of here." I quickly followed behind trying to control my breathing and not have an episode here, that would be super embarrassing.
I've been writing this on google docs plus I've been busy but this is hopefully be a better book then the others I've wrote. ill add the rest of chapter 1 in another part right now its 1:25 A.M and I've been writing and drawing since around 10- 10:30 so im very tired. but bye bye for now.
