Short Story: Suicide Mission

Suicide Mission

“Cornelius wake up! There’s a robber in the house!”, Onzey whispered loudly “What are you talking about?”, Cornelius asked, clearly not fully awake. “I woke up and heard a noise downstairs and the front door is open. Anita is in the bathroom.”, said Onzey

Why would Anita be in the bathroom?, thought Cornelius, Why is Onzey reporting that Anita is in the bathroom? Robber? Onzey needs to stop watching Cops before bed…seven year olds should not watch Cops…

Cornelius climbed out of bed, groggy trying to figure out what Onzey just said. he put feet on the edge of the bed and felt a shooting pain in his leg.

Cornelius entered the bathroom "He got you up too?", Anita said. She still had sleep in her eyes and disbelief in her
I'm going out the window now be ready”, says Anita

"Hurry" screamed Onzey as Anita reached the ledge Cornelius waited on the side of the bathtub. "Come on guys we need to hurry", Onzey says hysterically, "The robber is coming to get us" Is Onzey right?, thought Cornelius, I mean something doesn't sit right...why does Anita now think there's a robber in the house? What if Onzey is right, Cornelius mind was racing.

Cornelius became increasingly anxious with each passing moment he was left alone in the bathroom. All of a sudden there was a noise coming from the stairwell. "Creak thump" "Creak thump" "Creak thump"

With each thump on the stairs Cornelius could feel his heart leap into his throat. He reached for the door and locked it.

There was a pounding at the door. “bam” “bam” “bam” “W-who is it?”, Cornelius says, voice shaking, his heart leaps into his throat, as he moved closer to the window no answer “bam” “bam”
