Life as I remember it - Shaelyn Ray (good books for high schoolers txt) 📗

I was walking home from a friends' house.I knew it was past Midnight,and I was feeling like I was being watched.I turned around and nobody was there.I started walking faster before I felt some hands around my waist and dragging me."Hey!!help me I'm needing help please!!"I screamed.I screamed and kicked 'till I finally could get my head turned around.It was Mr.Rogers,my next door neighbor who was always working with wood and metal.He smiled at me as he carried me South the opposite way of my house.I was took into an alley where a hole had been dug.He threw me into the hole and started burying me alive!He ran away as soon as his duties' were done,and I tried clawing my way out but the ground was frozen and I could barely move in this small space."AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I screamed hoping someone would hear......but this alley was abandoned.This alleys' name was Abandoned Alley...now I know why.The alley I was in wasn't attached to any stores,porta potties,fire or police stations,houses,malls,sidewalks,or more importantly any streets."AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!HELP ME PLEASE I NEED HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!"I screamed and suddenly my breathing got shorter and quieter.I gasped for breath and energy to scream some more but soon my eyes' fluttered shut and my thoughts' quit spinning in my head.I was dead.I was in my heaven where I met Sally Rodriguez who was murdered the same night as I was....by the same guy."I'm Kelley Brauns.I was murdered in a hole...in an alley....suffocated by the dirt and lack of air."I told her.And I forgot to tell you one important thing....he strangled me before I quit breathing."I'm Kalli pronounced (Cal-e) I was buried in a cemetery.....but not properly.I was walking this evening and he found me but he dragged me to a cemetery,stabbed me three times:in the head,heart,and leg,and buried me right on another grave."she explained,and I kinda felt bad for her."I wasn't stabbed just strangled and buried.I kinda deserved it since I did kinda T.P his house one Halloween but that's not why he did it."I said sure of my reply.She pulled up her pants' leg and showed me a fresh bloody scab from a huge knife."Huuuuuu!"I gasped and started walking backwards."I can't be dead!!!I can't please tell me this is a dream!"I demanded.She looked worried."Kelly,I'm sorry but I wish it was a dream but it is not....I was taken' from my family too!and I'm only eight you are fifteen!you lived longer than me so quit complaining!!!!"she screamed.I was sad but also kinda mad that she screamed at me."I'm sorry you were murdered.I'll tell you my secrets'?"I offered."OK!"she said excited running to be picked up by me.I picked her up and sat down with her on my lap."I ran away from home once and got caught by the police."I told her.She made wide eyes and stood up.She started running and dug up a book that was old."This is a old book my momma read me...I had it when I was murdered."she held it up and told me to read it to her."Once upon a time an old woman lived alone with Jera her Indian granddaughter."I read to her 'till she fell asleep.That's all I can remember about my life....I miss that happy life of mine.Have a long happy life!
