Liam Quinn Descriptive Writing
Tonight at 8, the kidnapping of Liam Quinn a local 6-year-old boy. Details to come.
A dead air fell over a vacant room, filled with the elements of childhood. An unoccupied race car bed, stark blue walls, and an idle toy train complimented the eerie - yet somber - atmosphere. A dark shadowy figure lurked in the corner, standing ten feet tall - no definite shape. Slithering onto the floor and over the bed, the figure moved with haste, attempting to lurk as an agent of subterfuge.
Arriving at the bed, the shadowy figure froze as he saw it abandoned. Confused, the demon glided away from the bed, slipped under the crack of the door, and proceeded down a long, cold, and narrow hallway. Sitting at a table in the kitchen was a distraught and rattled …show more content…
Wistfully, she allowed them to enter while trying to calm herself. The scraggly darkness that lurked in the corner listened into the exchange of questions between the mother and the officers.
Voice quavering, she proceeded to tell the officers, “W- We were just at the park... I lost him when he ran to play on the swings. I told him not to run ahead without me!”
The officers tried to calm her, “It’s okay ma’am, now did he have any problems at home, or is there any reason why he would run away?”
Quickly, she screamed, “No. No, he would never! It’s a kidnapping, why are you wasting your time questioning me, while my Liam is still out there!”
Trying to calm the mother, the police officers spoke calmly, “We are currently investigating everything we can ma’am. We had no intentions to cause you any harm, we just have to ask these questions.”
In the corner, there sat the shadow figure, intently listening to every detail of the investigation that he could. Abruptly after, the officers were demanded to leave. Departing, the two men and the shade left the house. Slipping into the vehicle, they were headed to the park to look for more …show more content…
Shifting out of the car, the monster crawled up the kid’s climbing structure and proceeded to look for clues along with the team - almost as if the shadow was a bloodhound. No clear evidence of Liam, but there was still something else.
A yell finally broke the silence of the park as a lab tech proceeded to run to the officers, “I’ve got something, over here by the bench!”
In the blink of an eye, the shadow creature moved to the lab tech, sending a chill down the tech’s spine along with a hint of childhood nostalgia. The bench was speckled with tiny spots of blood, along with Liam’s gloves and hat. A fire brewed inside the monster, and he moved to the bench and appeared to be almost sniffing the tiny mittens.
Who would do this - even to a child? the monster growled incomprehensibly. Moving with ferocity, the demon followed a long trail, winding through the town, following the scent of goldfish, blue raspberry Kool-Aid, and pencil shavings. Stopping, the creature followed the trail into a CVS Pharmacy and searched around for more evidence. Meandering inside, the demon scared the cashier - who jumped out of his skin and ran out of the store as quickly as his feet could carry
