Little Remains

I made my way to my locker. I was in deep heavy thought, about the good things in life. I heard whispering of a name that was familiar to me. I ease dropped on a conversation between these girls who were in a younger year.

"Yeah no one has seen Ryan, in two days" whispered the girl with mousey brown hair. "Ryan Adams?" the tallest girl quickly questioned. "Yeah" she replied.

My eyes widened, Ryan Adams a friend of Josh. Oh no! I thought, I was quickly cynical about this. Ryan is missing and he was Sam's neighbour. What about if Mrs Kelly is missing next?

Maybe it's another rumour, people like gossip. He'll be at school tomorrow or he's really busy. My thoughts just changed so quickly, I had this hidden feeling though that he was dead and we'd hear the tragic news soon enough. We'd go to the funeral, some would cry.

Some will be wondering who did it, like Sam's murder. I had this strong feeling, that it was Sam's murderer. So many questions left unanswered, I had to know. I just had to. Nobody has figured out Sam's murder yet, in this small town people get talking and quickly.

What happened to this quiet town?
