Opening Up: Non-Fiction Stories about Give and Take, Volume 1

Chapter 10 - by Ziggy

I was riding my Purple and white Bmx Bike,it was so hot my zombie skin was baking like bread on a toaster after that cold winter. It was intense as i was biking up to the rocky hills. Those hills were like 90 degrees. I was wearing my favorite red T-Shirt and blue shorts. As I got up the steep hill I saw a kid crying on the floor. The kid was around 7 feet tall,I felt so bad for the innocent child that was 2 feet taller than me so i decided to give him a band aid. so i had a a spider man band aid in my pocket  and a brand new bottle of water so i gave him a sip of the water, and i gave him the bandaid because he scraped his knee really badly on the rigid rocks and he looked pretty thirsty.

  When I was riding my bike down the hill the kid came to me and said “thanks for everything.” He was grateful for everything had done for him so he asked me if I would like to go to his house.

         He took me to his house and made me cookies and tea.He said his name is “jingles”. He asked me if I would like to play xbox 360 with him and I replied “yes” Me and him played call of duty for like two and a half hours and then I decided I needed to go home because its getting pretty late.

          When I was biking  home this big grey van drove by me and stopped. As two people got out i biked as fast as I could it felt that my tires where about to fall off. Finally I went through the field and I looked back and the grey van was no longer there. I fell on the floor while I was looking back and I hit a pretty big rock ,the blood bursts to the floor  my bike had scratches on it I looked in my pocket to use my spider man band-aid and it was not there no longer. then I remembered I gave it to my friend.

    so I scarcely limped my way home pushing my bike when I got home my favourite blue shorts became red from all the blood leaking for my knees,it was a scary night the lights in the neighbourhood were out it was pitch black.

    As I got home i looked around to see if there was anyone watching me,there wasn't anybody so I gently laid my bike into the garage.

  When I walked home I took a nice long 2 hour shower.the hot water stung like there was 20 wasps just taking turns stinging me in the same place,it hurt so much I had to turn down the hot water and made it into ice cold water.

     that helped a bit.when I walked out of the shower I was as cold as a icicle I was shivering like a cold cat after a cold winter.I put some clothes on and went downstairs to the kitchen cabinet, put a band aid on and I could not find any band-aids,so I had to tie a old rag around my leg to clog the bleeding. it was like there was 20 bee stinger stuck in my leg. when I walked up the stairs I decided I wanted to sleep and I tried to forget about the entire night but I had a nightmares about that guy in the grey van just chasing me the entire night  while I was sleeping. When I woke up the bleeding was finally stopped so I walked up the stairs,it felt like I ran a marathon and my legs dont want to move no longer so I just sat downstairs and played xbox 360 for 1 day straight.
