A day I will remember for the rest of my life! – Creative Writing
My name is John and I am a normal 15 year old boy attending school. I have a mother and a father, Susan and Jack and one sister called Molly. I thought we were all just a normal family and that nothing exciting or extra ordinary ever happens to people like us but I was wrong, very wrong.
Well it all happened along time ago on one Monday afternoon, I was just threw the door home from school on my own as usual until five thirty. But as soon I had closed the door there was a knock on the door, so I went to answer but the man behind the door did not look familiar to me, I had never seen him before. He asked me was my mother or father at home and I told him that they were both still at work and would not be home until after 5 thirty. Next thing I know the man is pointing a gun at my head and tells me to move into the house.
I was so scared I had never even seen a gun before never mind getting one pointed at me knowing that if I say one wrong thing to the man all he has to do is pull the trigger and that would be the end of me. The man then began to tie me up to the chair and began to talk to me he told me that all I had to do was keep quiet and not say a word, he told me that he did not want me he wanted my father. I then began to think to myself why would anybody come barging into our house with a gun looking for my father but before I could even finish thinking about it he began to tell me why he wanted my father.
“Do you know who your father works for” he said and I told him “yes, he works for the government, he is a scientist” The man began to tell me how wrong I was about my father “Your dad is a scientist, that’s true, but did you know that your dad is one of the best in the world? Did you know that your dad is working for the NWDF?” “The NWDF” I said to him confused “Yes he said the THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT FORCE and did you know that your father has recently just designed one of the most sophisticated and most deadly weapon ever dreamed about? In theory it is so deadly that if it was ever to be used it would wipe out the entire planet within a matter of hours” I was stunned I didn’t know what to think and then….. my father walked threw the door, and to his surprise he seen a man with a gun but the difference this time was that my father knew the man.
“Edward” my father said in amazement, “What in the name of God do you think you are doing” “I am doing what I should have done along time ago, Jack , I’m taking back what is rightfully mine and which you have received all the credit, fame and gratitude for. I’m taking back the prototype for the Nuclear detonation programme. He held a gun to my fathers head and ordered him to get it but my father refused. ”
“How dare you Edward I treated you like a father when you came to NWDF I showed and taught you everything you know and this is what I receive in return” My father said “You can say what you like Jack but I will be taking back what is rightfully mine I designed it and you took all my plans and made the device knowing what it was capable off and what it could do if it ever got into the hands of the wrong person, now I will show you all what MY device can do” The man continued, he then dragged my father into the other room, all I could hear was the constant screaming and impounding thuds as if they were fighting, from the room for a couple of minutes and next thing it stopped and went quiet, a very scary and tense quiet and then I heard it. A Gunshot, I was screaming, “DAD, DAD” I roared but there was no reply I roared roared and roared but still no reply. He’s dead I thought to myself DEAD!!!
I was very very, very scared I did not know what to think and then……. My father came out from the room. But he was unharmed!! I thought to myself well then who got shot and then my father began to cry!!! I had to, I had to shot him if not god knows what could have happened. Dad came over to me and began to untie me, as soon as I was free he immediately told me to ring the police and I did and within minutes the were her with ambulances and squad cars. My father told the police man what had happened and before he could finish dad’s boss entered the house and began to demand answers to what happened. My dad began to tell him and once he had finished explaining, dad’s boss told him that he had done the right thing, done what he had to do and possibly saved many lives. My dads boss began to talk to the police and within minutes the were gone, and the house we quiet but myself and dad stunned by the whole ordeal were not going to talk about this incident at all, that was the end of it.
A couple of weeks after the whole thing my dad resigned, told the company he had enough and that he wanted to spend to time with his children and wife and they accepted his resignation considering the circumstances, and so we are all a happy normal family again but with a story this time.
