Barbra, his wife, cried and told him over and over he couldn't go out that it was too dangerous. Thomas didn't listen, he needed to help his daughter. "Barbra, I'm sorry, but I have to go and you know it. We can't leave Sammy like this," Thomas said to his desperate wife. "I-I know, but... take this," she handed him a small pistol, "it isn't much, but it will give you some protection. Please be careful, I love you." Saying his goodbyes, Thomas turned to the curtain drawn tight over the window. June 15, people call it Broken Moon Day. How creative. June 15th of every …show more content…
When he was safely in the truck, he quietly drove to the hospital. Everything was going smoothly, until he saw one. A bear was walking across the street. Thomas turned off his headlights, hoping it didn't see him. He drove slowly past the grizzly. The bear didn't seem to notice the black car inching its way across the empty streets.

I need to see him now!” “Sir, sir please calm down and I will ask one of the nurses.” said the woman. She quickly left the desk and disappeared into the nurses lounge.

    Little Mike is only five years old. Clenching onto his mother’s fingers, he stands intimidated in front of a confronting building, which is seemingly to be called his School for the next thirteen daunting years of his life. Not wanting to leave his mum, his sharp screech breaks through the usual drone of the passing crowd, accompanied by the crocodile tears trickling down his blushed cheeks. It is rather his fear of being separated from his parents which troubles him more than making new friends outside of his niche. “I can’t do it mom!” Mike roars, “I don’t want to go!” Unfortunately, his beg for mercy is unheard, or rather disregarded under his father’s order. “Mike! Get over it, you have to go now; we are freaking late for work!” Although it is expected by Mike to do what his father demands, it is his mum who unwillingly pushes him towards the School. “You’ll be fine love,” she assures Mike, “trust me.” The two words, “trust me,” strike Mike like nothing else present around him; not the School bell, not even his father’s uninterrupted rumble, yet only the two words.…
