childhood drama family murder mystery secrets

Elijah Wyrm can only remember certain details about his parents. His mother is a vegetarian. His father hates the colour yellow. How much more is a six-year-old supposed to know about their parents? What more could there possibly be? 

When Elijah's father seemingly snaps and kills his mother in what is labelled as a brutal murder, before hanging himself, everyone but Elijah is shocked. They were so perfect. So happy. So picturesque. No one has the answers to everything but it sure seemed like they had quite a few so what could have gone so wrong?

(This is a major work in progress. I've never written before and the first chapter is to just get an idea of how to start. Thank you for reading.)All Rights Reserved
