The ball of mud tried to touch me, I took a step back. I didn't want what ever that mess was on my clothes. It was an outfit my dad brought for me. it's kind of sad that I died wearing it.
The ball of mud looked up at my face, then started running towards me. I started running backwards, still confused if this forest was heaven.
The mud ball jumped forward and managed to grab my leg. I fell backwards and through a tree? what is going on? I'm a ghost now?
what is that ball of mud if it can touch me?
I got up slowly because the ball of mud just won't let go. when I finally got my body on one side of the tree. I asked the ball of mud "what are you,"hoping to find out what I was, and if this was heaven.
"Boy" said the ball of mud while pointing at himself, so it was a boy. I wonder why he wouldn't let go of my pants, It was such a strong grip.
"Why are you holding my leg?" I questioned the boy. "Big brother,"said the boy who I was sure I've never seen in my life, I'm an only child.Who ever this child is he isn't my brother. I started to get a bit annoyed.
"Don't touch me!"I shouted. The boy let go of my pant. "ewww" there was two brown hand prints on my pants. I wanted them to separate from my clothes. The mud went right through me. I started to get scared, I'm I really a ghost?
I don't want to be a ghost, I just want to see my dad again. I started to cry.The boy came towards me again and just stared at me. I stoped crying and started to get annoyed at the boy again. what is his problem, can't he see that I need space to cry alone.
"Big Brother don't cry!" the boy shouted with watery eyes. oh no, he started crying. I tried to smile and tried to comfort him but I started crying too.I wondered if I would ever see my dad again.
After I cried for a long while. I realized a problem. Where was this boy's parents. He looked even younger than me and my father never left me alone. Well untill he die, I started to get sad again.
"Where are your parents," the boy just looked at me, I realized the problem. "Where is your mommy and daddy," the boy grabbed my hand and started to led me somewhere, I tried to ignore the mud on his hand.
After what seemed like forever we arrived at a cabin. No one was outside the boy crawled and squeezed himself into the doggie door. I walked through the door literally.
The boy grabbed my hand again and brought me into a living room. There was a man and a woman sitting down watching tv. The tv looked like such an old model I couldn't even recognize it. The woman had blond hair and brown eyes and the father had blond hair and green eyes. They didn't look very happy.
"Mommy,"said the boy while still holding my hand. The women turned around with a surprised look on her face and said,"Your still alive."
His mommy then walked through me and grabbed his hand.
She pulled him up the stairs and into a bathroom. Then remove his clothing and put him in the bath. she than got a bucket and filled it with extremely hot water and poured it on his body. Ouch, he didn't even flinch.
The boys skin got red from the heat and I started to see what he looked like for the first time. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, like my dad. he looked around two years old and was kind of chubby. He had some cuts and scratches on his body.
His mother cleaned the bath, filled it with hot water, then left him alone. He looked at me and said "Big brother," while pointing at me again.
Why does this cute little boy call me big brother. I looked at him and copied him by pointing at him and asking," why do you call me big brother?"
He looked at me with a confused expression then said in a broken english, "Big Brother, Pray, Big Brother, here."It made perfect sense, no it did not.
He just watched me for a whole hour. I realize that I could float or fly. The flying was harder then the floating. The flying was harder because I had to image a bird while I was flying.I stayed in the bathroom with the boy. I didn't leave because I wanted to know why this boy can see me.
"Big brother angel,"said the boy while I was flying around the room, He had a shocked look in his eyes.I was shocked too, how did he know my name?
His mommy finally came and took him out of the bath. She then gave him clothes and left. The boy put his clothes on by himself without even drying himself, well she never gave him a towel.
I came towards him and he grabbed my hand again tightly.He led me to his room. The room had a book shelf in it, though none of the books look like they were for children but one.
The boy pick up that book, and brought me to his bed. He then carefully handed me the book and said "read." The book looked old and not well taken care of. The cover looked like it was about to fall off.
I read the book for him, it was called big brother. It was about a boy that was alone, until he found out he had a big brother. His big brother took care of him and they had a fun together, that was the whole story.
The boy seemed to really like that story as he asked me to read it again.
"play," said the boy he looked around with a disappointed face, when he realized that he didn't have any toys.
What is wrong with this boy's mommy and daddy? When I was his age I'm sure I had a tablet and plenty of other toys.
The boy then went under his sheet and fell asleep. I left the room and started to explore the house.
There was two toilets, another bedroom with an old computer in it . one kitchen/dining room, and a living room with an outdated tv.
I flew outside by just flying up, becaues I didn't want to get lost. There was no houses nearby, I was in the middle of nowhere.
There was a shed outside I looked inside it. There was food inside the shed, the kind of food that doesn't go bad easily. It also had a lawnmower and other things like that inside.
I went back into the house to see if I could find anything that could tell me where I was. l found an almost empty calendar. when l looked at the year I was shocked, no wonder that TV was so old.
I'm a time traveller cool, but I got to wait twenty-one years to apologize to my dad. That more then my whole life. I felt sad and excited at the same time. Wait I could just find my dad and live with him now.
l jumped in shock beacase the boy surprised me by, appearing behind me and hugging my legs. "Don't go," he said with tears in his eyes.
I had a problem, this boy reminded me of myself after my dad died. I also didn't want anyone leave me. I don't want to do what uncle Alex did to me. Even if this boy is a stranger to me.
I decided to stay and be his big brother, until I can find out where I am and where my dad is. When I leave I won't disappear like uncle Alex, I will tell him beforehand.
"I will stay don't worry," was all I said, Then he let go of me. He then when towards his mother and woke her up and said "food." she gave him a big plate of macaroni and cheese that she warmed up in the microwave and then went back to sleep.
Even my dad didn't give me so much food. The boy started to eat and I wanted some of that food. Macaroni and cheese was my favorite food.
The boy looked up at me, seeing that I wanted some of that food and fed me a spoon full of macaroni. It was so delicious. I wondered what I was again, can ghost eat food? The boy shared half of his food with me.
After we finished eating the boy took me back up to his room. Then he looked at me and gave me that book again. I didn't want to read the book again so I tried to explain the rules of hide and seek. Every time he hid I could find him so easily and ever time I hid he couldn't find me. So I had to hide in easy to find places.
I even started to pretend I couldn't find him but he would just run toward me and say" I'm here." I still had so much fun. It was my first time playing hide and seek with someone younger the me.
His mom came and gave him a toothbrush, He brushed his own teeth. She took the toothbrush then left. The boy fell asleep after I read him that story again, I got bored.
It would be great if I had my dad journal. After I thought that it appeared in my hand.
