Burnt Lives

chapter one

It all started when my friend fall out that tree. We were claiming the tallest tree in the woods when he fell. I was trying to find a place to put my foot and I guess I put it on him. I push on him and climbed when I heard a falling sound. I looked down and seen every ounce of the blood drain ground his body. I quickly got down from the tree and ran home. I wish Harper didn't dare me to climb that dumb tree and I wish I didn't dare him to beat me to the top of the dumb tree. That night I cried my eyes out. We knew each other since we were kids and I just killed him. I went to my mom telling her every thing but she thought I was pranking her. I showed her the spot where he was but the body was gone. I watched him lay there dead motionless, bloody with branches sticking out of him. I was awake all night thinking of all of the possibilities. But it was so strange who would want a teenage boy's dead body intact who wants one at all. The only thing that was the closes to real ness was an animal eating him but there was no animal tracks. Its sickening thinking about it.
