The Last Standing
CHAPTER 1
Carly? Were you? Come quick! We have a new baby Sister!
I slowly open my eyes and yawn. I hit my head on the rock I was sleeping by. My mother had been in an old deserted run down shack in labor.
I pull myself together and run to my family. My oldest brother Westin is 16 he is sitting outside the door of the shack.
My dad swings the door open and invites us all in with a tear in his eye. Me, Westin, and My sister Hope come in. My mom is lying on a pile of hay in the corner. In her arms she holds…nothing none of us said a word
We all expected to see a smile on mothers face ear to ear, but instead we see a frown and eyes trying to hold back tears. Dad holds his head in shame and slowly walks us to the door.
“So very sorry my children” he said, I hear him sniffle “your sister cannot be with us, for she is with god now.”
This is the first time I have ever heard Westen or my father cry. I don’t know what to think. So I just look at the ground and pretend I’m not crying but really, I am .
