Prologue

"Family meeting!" I heard my dad's voice coming from downstairs. I didn't think anything of it at first. I mean we have family meetings all the time. It's not a big deal. But as I got downstairs and saw the look on my dad's face, I started to panic.

"what's goin' on?" I asked nervously. My dad motioned for me to sit down next to him in the dinning room's table. I sat down and waited for my brothers to come down.

In a matter of minutes my brothers were there. All three of them. We sat there in silence, looking nervously at my dad. Well, as silent as we can get. Which isn't saying much.

My dad waited until we were all seated. Then he started walking in circles while running a hand through his hair.

"I dunno how to put this," he said nervously.

"just say it!" I yelled impatiently.

"well," he said," we're moving out."
