The Missing Window

Written by, Cyrus Liang

It was fall in the forest of Cigamburg where Gregor D’Lacey lived. Gregor is a tell man with hazel eyes and dirty blonde hair. He always wears a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. The 28-year old lived alone in his little wooden house in the western side of the forest. Earlier that day, he came back from his daily morning jog, and went to the refrigerator to get something to ear. When Gregor opened the refrigerator and stuck his hand in, he could only find empty plates and bowls.

Gregor couldn’t remember inviting any friends over last night, but recalled he went to the store the day before. Someone must have broken into my house while I was gone, but why food? Thought Gregor, I better go and check if anything else was stolen. The front door was locked when I came in, so I also need to look for an open window. There was nothing missing in the living room except the chocolates he bought yesterday and a bottle of water. In the bathroom, the soap was there, the toothpaste was there, but the socks he spilled soda on were missing. His bedroom was the only room left to check, and when Gregor walked in, he saw the window was entirely missing. The hole that now decorated the northeastern corner was bigger than the biggest television at Costco.

Gregor jumps over the remains of his window and looks around to see if the culprit is still around. He notices a blood rail going off to the east. The person must have been injured by the glass, thought Gregor. He follows the blood trail careful to stay hidden, so if suddenly the person appears he won’t be caught. The trail went around trees, twisted and turned, went straight, and suddenly turned left into a mountain. Gregor saw the trail go to the base of the mountain, and then it goes up into a cave.

The person went into a cave, maybe that’s where their hideout is! Yes, I finally get to have my food back, thought Gregor. Gregor starts to climb the mountain, but the mountain is steep. He fails the first few times, but Gregor finds a way up. He only gets a fourth done in half an hour; even thought he is slow, Gregor keeps on working toward the top. He can still see some of the blood, but it is drying and blending. It gets harder for Gregor because he didn’t ear lunch, and it is almost his dinner time. He keeps on going until he reaches a cave, and he can see the blood going in. Man, that was tiring, thought Gregor, Now to ask for the food.

“Hello, I would like to have my food back!” yelled Gregor.

There was no response, so Gregor takes a step in. Right before he put his foot down though, a bear comes out and growls at him. Gregor sees all of the teeth, and they all have chocolate covering it, Gregor’s chocolate. Gregor climbed down the mountain and ran; the bear ran after him. Gregor ran back to his house and opened the car door. He drove away from the bear because he understands why there is a huge hole, and who ate his food.

The bear had broken through his window to get food, and the glass got stuck in its body. It is almost time for hibernation, and bear eat a lot. Gregor reasoned to just go away and go to the store again.
