Here's another, longer one. It's about how Truman came to be 'Son'.


Son

Truman Kirman gazed out of his bedroom window. He was still getting used to the new view. He and his parents had moved to Virginia that morning, and he didn't know anyone. His parents had told him they knew a few people in the area who had children, but they didn't know how to contact them.

'Well, this is boring, I'm going for a walk,' he thought.

He slid off the seat beside his windowsill and ran downstairs. His parents were in the living room, setting up the television.

"Mum, dad, I'm going for a walk. I want to get to know the area."

His mother smiled. "Okay, but be careful and be back before five. It's not safe for a seven year old to be out too late."

Truman agreed and walked out the front door. It wasn't a very sunny day, but no rain threatened to fall down yet. This type of weather was his favourite.

He strolled past parks, shops, and even the school he would be attending. These didn't matter to him. It had been the same in his old neighbourhood. He sighed, thinking nothing interesting would catch his eye.

Then he saw it: a large tree-house, taller and wider than any other building in town. How he had missed it he would never know, but he felt a gravitational pull that led him towards the tree-house. He wanted to go in there and find the extraordinary person that built it. He even considered asking to sleep in there from time to time.

He shook his head and turned around, ready to head back to his own house. With a shock, he saw a black limousine parked to inches away from him. The tinted window rolled down to reveal a heavily bandaged man.

"Would you like to see the inside of that tree-house?" he inquired.

Truman gulped and answered, "Yes, yes I would."

"Then come closer."

Reluctantly, Truman edged sideways to the limousine. The man placed a bandaged hand on his arm and leant in, as if meaning to whisper. Instead, Truman's vision went black.


And there you go. Review! ^^
