A Raindrop in the Ocean
Far Away
I woke to the sound of my mother’s tears as she watched the news. Though I know the news can be sad she has never cried before while watching it. I step out of my room and
shouted to her.
“What’s the matter, ma?”
She just continues to sob with no reply.
“OH. Ma it can’t be that bad. What story is it?”
The sobbing just got harder.
“Ma.” I said approaching her door.
She sat on her bed crying her head in her hands. It was a beautiful sunny day San Diego and yet my ma was crying like it was rainy and pa had just died.
I looked at the TV and a young boy’s body had been found in a lake in LayLay, Ohio. He was around my age in fact he looked like a boy version of me.
“That’s your brother Kara.” Ma said. There was blood dripping down her hands.
