Interlude of Silence
It was too quiet for Fred and I. We had been
sitting here in silence ever since we figured out that our
little sister, Ginny, was now trapped inside the Chamber
of Secrets. We had been staring at one another in solitude
for the past hour. A momement ago I thought Fred was
snoring sitting up because he was making a weezing sound
and his back was moving up and down rapidly. But when
I came closer I realised he was crying.
I neared him, afraid that I might say something
wrong, and told him to come up to our dorm. I put my
hand on his shoulder and led him up to our dorm. We
entered the room and Fred couldn't hold it in anymore.
He burst into small sobs and hid his face in his pillow. I
tried my best to stop from crying. But when I thought I
couldn't hold it in any longer, the tears wouldn't come out.
I had wasted them over very small things and now when
something big has happened, I can't cry.
I slid open the drawer to my bedside table and
took a small wrinkled picture out. It was not a picture of
my girlfriend but a picture of my little sister as a toddler.
I had always dreaded this happening but Fred and I aren't
the kind of people to do that. Out of all the brothers
we have I think we love our sister especially.
I couldn't go to sleep. I laid in my bed for
sometime just listening to Fred's sobs get softer and
muffled in his pillow. Just then I heard the door to our
dorm open and Lee Jordan, a fellow roomate, came to see
what was the matter. " Guys? I was just wondering why
you guys weren't at the small party we just had?"
I turned over to him and said weakly," Nothing
Lee....I don't think we wanted to be there." Then I turned
over and heard Lee move out of the room.
Ginny had always tried to tell us about prayer.
I just never really wanted to try it before now. I mean I
had basically never known the definition of prayer until a
few days ago when Ginny told me.
I decided I try it because of Ginny. I sighed and
said, " Here gos nothing!" But no one heard.
" Dear God....Is that right? Um....I just wanted
to let you know that my younger sister Ginny has recently
entered moral peral and I was just hoping you could look
after her!" What am I soposed to say now....oh yeah...
" Amen."
And now sitting in the silent interlude between a happy
ending and a fearsome beggining I hope and pray for my
sister's safety.
