“Bobby was sleeping on the snow wrapped in his cloak. The wind whispered through the dark, empty trees like a warning in a foreign language. Winter was coming, and with winter…”
“Stop it!” I yelled at Bobby again for what felt like the fifteenth time. We were in the back seat of our parent’s car traveling across country on another ‘fun family adventure.’
My little brother was pretending he was a ranger in Game of Thrones. I didn’t want to listen to him narrate his adventure in third person anymore. Not only did he constantly pretend to be a part of his favorite show, but he always talked in third person. He was driving me crazy. The only thing worse than mandatory family fun was being stuck in the car in 110 degree weather with my little brother.
“As Bobby lay shivering in his cloak. He could feel eyes watching him.”
“Bobby!” I yelled again. “Mom! Please make him stop.”
“Bobby stop bothering your sister.” My mom said as she continued to read from the romance novel clutched in her hand.
Bobby crossed his arms and glared at me.
I just glared back. I decided to ignore him for now and tried to focus on whatever we were rushing past outside the car.
“Here’s our stop.” My dad said as he pulled the car next to a gas pump. “Everyone out. Pee and get drinks and snacks. Next stop wont’ be for awhile.”
I got out into the heat and was blinded by the sun reflecting off the tin roof of the nearby convenient store. I walked around the car and bumped into Bobby.
“Bobby awoke the next day…”
I just shook my head as I walked past him and into the store.
I really enjoyed your story…Good work😄
