On The Threshold
In utter disbelief and grief, I hiked onward without Samuel by my side. I was truly alone.
It’s back to the way it was…like old times again.
I looked up at the DEAD END sign, and then laughed.
Way to go Zander! You lost the only friend you’ll ever have.
I wanted to be dead. Dreamed that death would take me away from it all. And here I am in Dead End Valley. How ironic.
Living in a nice neighborhood with beautiful houses and white picket fences, appeared unreal to me. Almost as if I was in a dream. None of it looked genuine. Each house had their own little garden with colorful flowers and water fountains. Everything seemed to be perfect on the surface, but on the inside, underneath that sugar coating, were troubled and distraught individuals. Every neighborhood had them—people who were rapists, criminals, child molesters, liars, hypocrites, frauds, cheaters, drug dealers, and swindlers.
I knew there was an underground world full of corrupt people, living right here. I turned left at the corner, and saw a peach colored house with large windows. Mom’s garden looked dead. The house needed a fresh coat of paint, and the garage was naturally gray. It didn’t seem to match with the rest of the house with its rusty bolts and dented metal.
I knew if I went through the garage I’d get caught by my mother, because it made so much noise anyone from reaching distance could hear it. I’d be dead meat for sure.
Whatever I tell Mom…it’s not going to be good. I took out my house keys; they rattled as I struggled to find the right one.
The front door suddenly opened.
