Shattered

My name… that seems so unimportant in these dark times. You see, I lost some people close to me. My family wasn't the largest in the world, but I have four brothers and four sisters. There are five boys and four girls. My brothers are Hunter, Ryan, Kyle, and Alex. My sisters are Elizabeth, Allison, Susan, and Sarah. My name is Daniel.

My brothers… oh my brothers, they… they are so awesome! Alex, Kyle, and Hunter are the athletes while Ryan is the geek. Hunter is into basketball, Kyle is a football player, and Alex is into soccer. All of them love to lift weights, except Ryan. Ryan love to rebuild his computer and analyze each part to see if he has to replace anything, but he is cool because he is into archery.

You see, my brothers are the ones who taught me how to hunt. Alex has a thirty caliber rifle, Kyle has a .44 magnum, and Hunter has a twelve gauge shotgun. I don't know what types exactly, but whatever the types, they are effective. They even taught me how to shoot.

Out of my brothers, Alex and Hunter are the fastest. Kyle is the slowest and Ryan is a little faster than him. I can almost catch up with Alex and Hunter, but that's about it.

Alex, Hunter, and Kyle are really muscular. I hear them all the time lifting weights.

Alex will yell "C'mon Kyle! Fifty more!"

Fifty more. That's crazy. Kyle is the most muscular while Alex and Hunter are more evened out. Kyle has bulging biceps and quadriceps and they are more defined. Alex and Hunter have six packs, strong biceps and quadriceps, and their muscles are not as defined.

My sisters are so different from each other. Elizabeth and Allison are the athletes while Susan and Sarah are the beauticians in the family. They keep telling me that I have to make myself look cute or girls won't pay attention to me. They also tell Alex the same thing, but Alex has had seven girlfriends already and is dating number eight.

Elizabeth and Allison play volleyball. They are pretty good at it too! I've seen Elizabeth and Allison both spike the volleyballs really hard. It's scary! It comes down like a missile and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Out of all my brothers, I like Alex and Hunter the best. Ryan doesn't have time to deal with me anymore and Kyle is always lifting weights. It's because I'm the youngest.

Alex, Hunter, Ryan, and Kyle are all the same age. Isn't that something? All of them were born the same day. It's crazy!

Alex and Hunter love to hang out with me. We play videogames with each other and we play soccer or basketball. It's awesome! I've seen Alex bounce the soccer ball on his knee caps and then kick it and make a goal! I want to do that someday. Hunter can spin the basketball on his pointer finger. That's cool too! I also want to do that!

My dad is pretty cool. His name is Jonathan. He has a lot of patience because 1.) He's a doctor, and 2.) He has nine children. My mom is Jennifer. She is very sweet to all of us. She always inspires us to do something amazing.

But she didn't know about the tragedy that would happen when all of her children were in high school.

Alex, Hunter, Ryan, and Kyle are juniors and Elizabeth and Allison are sophomores while Susan and Sarah are freshmen. I will be a freshmen as soon as school starts.
