I looked above the sky and the saw that the clouds were flaring up like smoke and soon I would've guessed is when something was going to come. Only the thing I didn't know what was. Everything seemed so out of place today. Mother and Father didn't tell us anything but only talked and argued with each other behind the back door. The winds picked up but that was only ever normal in the fall season. As I thought something felt wrong today yet I could just not tell what it was yet. I sat down and turned on the television staring at the tiny screen watching the three musketeers. I loved the 1920's it was my favorite decade and one I also wouldn't want to remember either. I looked over from the sofa to mom who was packing up some bags with clothes and food and a small radio. I jumped off the couch and started to ask her questions. I don't remember much of what she said but the ones I do remember were, " I have to leave today and your lazy father thinks he can keep up with something dangerous coming so I have to leave and I might as well take off alone because your father is your best figure right?"
