Here is Chapter 6!
Grandma Jewel sat in her rocking chair while humming a strange tune.
She said, "Welcome readers!...I was taking a break from work…Last time, we discussed the quickjump of 6 years of Alfred's life. Now we'll continue onward…"
Summer just started but something strange happened. Grandma hummed as she busied herself in the kitchen. Grandpa came in and sat at the table.
He said, "Where is our grandson?"
Grandma looked up at him.
She said, "He was here about ½ hours ago. But…"
She looked in the living room but didn't see Alfred. She returned to the kitchen for the bread was done. Three hours past, grandma begun to slice the cool bread when the front door opened and closed.
Alfred said, "I'm home! Hm, what is that smell?"
Grandma turned as Alfred entered the kitchen.
She said, "You are in time for dinner. We are having Nut Bread and Acorn Chili."
Grandpa finished setting the table and eyed Alfred carefully.
He said, "Wash your hands and come to the table."
Alfred reluctantly obeyed. He was back with in 5 minutes. Grandma attempted to star a conversation during dinner.
She said, "So Alfred, where did you go?"
Alfred said, "Somewhere!"
After dinner, Alfred did his chores and hid in his room. The next morning, he help others to repair the dam. At exactly 3pm he disappeared. Grandpa looked around for him but was no use. He returned home at 7 pm to find Alfred already home.
Summer past and Fall came. The strange occurrences still happened. Alfred would disappear at 3pm and return suddenly at 6pm. Soon grandma started to…
Grandma Jewel concluded, "What did Grandma started to?...Why did Alfred disappeared for 3 hours each day?...What is going to happen next?...Join us next time as we continue our journey with Alfred. Bye for now!"
Grandma Jewel continued to read her book as we floated away.
