Family Day Out - Original Writing

It was a hot summer’s day in Florida and the Johnson family were on

their way for a picnic on the beach. They were all sitting patiently

in their small car. The car was red with a dent on the side that could

only be seen when you were inspecting it from a close distance. The

inside of the car was very musky as they were all sweating from the

heat of the sun, shining down through the windows and bathing the

passengers of the car. Mr Johnson was driving with much caution.

He was wearing a cheap-looking shirt that Mrs Johnson had brought on

sale from a local shop of hers. It was obvious that it was on sale as

realised who the man with the lost kid truly was. They felt their

bodies fill up with fear and dread. Mr Johnson was now sweating more

then anything while Mrs Johnson had broken down into tears.

“We’ve seen him, he was right over there.” Said Mr Johnson, while

turning ever so slowly, “Right over there,” now pointing at the place

where his kids were standing before they left them. Mrs Johnson

suddenly fell to the ground screaming,

“HE”S TAKEN MY KIDS, HE”S TAKEN MY KIDS. SOMEBODY HELP ME!”

The father bent down low and embraced his wife and they sat there

sobbing together, while the sand glued itself onto their clothes.
