Chapter 1.
Prologue
I came home from school and as I walked in the door I heard my mom call from upstairs. "Andrew, help me!" I dropped my book bag and rushed up the stairs. I found my mom and a man in the bathroom. "He's been bitten by some guy on drugs outside." she said with a concerned voice. I kneeled down beside her and said.
"You just let some random guy in our house?"
"He was hurt honey, I had to help him." She continued to wash out the bite on the man and bandaged him up. It seemed as the man was loosing consciousness and he looked like he was about to vomit.
"Alright, let's take him into my room and he can lay down on my bottom bunk." We supported his head with a pillow. I went into the bathroom and relieved myself. When I came back I saw the man slowly waking up. He grabbed my mom and began to reach for her neck with his teeth.
I grabbed my old skateboard that had no wheels on it from the corner of my room and when I turned around I saw my mom standing up with the man still having a hold on her. I pushed the man with enough force to separate him from my mom. I swung the skateboard upwards, almost like a boxers uppercut, to the mans chin. His head jerked back and he fell to the floor.
I looked to my mom while breathing heavily.
"Was he on drugs too?"
