Forever Frozen

1. Accident

I, Kevin, was once an average African-American 12 year old, until something that I only thought happened in movies happened. I was bitten by something in the woods while hunting. I had never felt a bite so powerful. Still dazed about what happened, I fainted. I awoke, still in the same spot, on a very dark morning. I was dazed about what had happened the night before, but I shook it off. I walked home. My mother saw me and immediately her facial expression changed, a look of relief mixed with anger. She screamed, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG MAN?!" "hunting" I replied. "Why didn't you come home last night?" she asked. "Frankly I don't know" I had answered her question, so I walked past her and went to my room. My room looked the same as I had left it, except there was something missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing but I knew something was. I waved the thought away and laid down on my messy bed. My father walked in and sat in my chair at my desk.
