SIDDHARTH
15 MINS TO THE LAKE HOUSE
My entire body shakes as I am driving up to the lake house. A place where everything shattered forever. I lost my everything once before and I am not going to let that happen again. A part of me died here ..... with my mother.
The routes, the forest the sound of the waterfall , all too familiar. It fills me with dread. Funny how the very same thing used to have me buzzed with anticipation, the same forest and waterfalls had me exited once upon a time. The time when I still had my mother, my family. Unknowingly a tear escapes my eye, I am quick to wipe it away.
I can now see the house. I stop my car behind the house and make my way to the front. To say I am shocked is an understatement. It is completely destroyed. I better look for the companies who rebuild the house first thing tomorrow. I think I should also check the interior though I doubt it will be much different.
( just imagine a house burnt.... similar to this)
My heart starts beating faster and my body grows heavier as I reach the front of the house.
I make my way to the stairs.....I can't. No .
My memories come rushing back to me again

AUTHORS POV
"AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh" his scream echoes throughout the forest.
He is on his knees, breathing heavily.... the sound of his breath fills the air. It almost seems like he can't breathe enough air at once.
"No..No maaaaaa I'm sorry....*cough* I'm sorry ma". He keeps whispering.
He stands up and makes his way to his car. He sits and stares ahead for a long time. His tears keep flowing. All the tears he didn't shed at his mother's funeral seems to flow today. He takes a deep breath and starts driving to the guest house owned by their family that is 15 minutes away from the lake house.
