Memories Can Hurt
As the four boys arrived at the cabin emotions stirred in them. They all
had there own flash backs of past times spent where they were driving
through, time spent with their Grandpa, there mentor, there friend and
ninja coach. Rocky thought of the first time he hit grandpa with a bo and
the pride he had felt but, now all he felt was a deep longing to be
knocked down with Grandpa's bo's mighty blows. Colt flashed backed to how
hard headed he had been in the past and to the times he had gotten
himself and his brothers into trouble because of it. But through all the
disappointments Grandpa had so diligently and calmly helped Colt out of
the raging storm Colt had created. Tum Tum's mind reeled with memories of
Grandpa. Tum Tum always had to fight harder to get his older brothers
respect. All he wanted now was for Grandpa Mori to help him up like he
had when Tum Tum was a little boy. Yoshi looked at his friend's face
frowning in pain. Rocky was blankly looking out the windshield. Colt on
the other hand was lively looking out all the car windows at the familiar
10 feet drive way. Finally they drove over the red bridge that Grandpa
had made himself when he had first bought the place. Rocky parked the car
and killed the engine. As the car grew silent the surrounding woods came
alive with wind rustling the leaves in the trees and birds chirping. The
car and the boys in it where so quiet that it almost seemed like the
forest was screaming. To Colt it was the sound of Grandpa's agonizing
yells for help. Colt had been the one to hear Grandpa's last cries for
help , Colt was also the one to find Grandpa crushed under a tree, he had
been to late too do any thing of use and it certainly was too late to do
any thing good now. Blood was coming out Grandpa's nose a blue bruise was
visible on his nearly bald head. The very vivid memory was maddening. As
Colt tryed to get the image out of his head and reminded him self that it
was the birds screeching not Grandpa's screaming that he was hearing,
Colt also remimbered that no one even knew what Grandpa had been doing in
the woods that day. Colt quickly resolved to find out what had happened
that horrible morning.
