Megan

Silence

Every child loves to play imaginative games where they are various characters such as pirates, princesses, princess, firemen, wizards, etc.

Well a small boy named Daniel loved to play cop with his little sister Megan, she preferred calling him officer Danny, they both enjoyed having the sense of usefulness that comes with assisting and helping people so this became their favorite game to play.

On a warm Tuesday afternoon the two siblings were playing on the front lawn outside of their little blue house like they always did while Angela, their mother, was preparing to cook dinner for them all.

They were in the middle of harmlessly playing when a small noise drifted to Daniels ears making him turn in its direction, across the street he spotted what looked to be a small Robin squawking and chirping for its mother. He concluded that it must've fallen out of the homing nest located in the tree above its small and fragile feathery body.

He was brought out of the midst of his thoughts when two small and slightly chubby hands were lightly tugging at the ends of his maroon colored shirt, he looked down into his younger sisters round ocean blue orbs, only slightly being covered by curly golden locks, gazing up to his green ones.

Recollecting that he was in the middle of a game with Megan he decided to stay in character and exclaimed, "look officer Megan, that little bird needs our help!"

Megan excitedly looked around till she spotted the fragile creature and shouted, "don't worry officer Danny, I'll save it!" And without hesitation she ran as quickly as her little feet could take her, off to fetch the Robin that laid peacefully in the green abundant blades of grass across the street.

It all happened to fast for Daniel to process, but not even halfway to the other side of the street Megan was forced to a halt by the strong impact of a truck ramming into her from the side.

With one strangled shout she was gone, and a sombre eerie silence withheld the area, no more laughter or excited chatter to be heard.

Daniel stood in place stunned, looking into two small and faded ocean blue eyes of his small little sister, now laying cold and stiff in the middle of the road.

Everything was silent...
