The Long Waiting

I had to show off JT's writing skill. He wrote this story about our housefire as a school writing assignment. Of course, I think it's just too excellent to keep to myself!!


A Long Waiting
by
Joel Timothy Klopcic

Chapter one
How it Came to Happeen

Once upon a time on a nice summer evening, the Klopcic's went out to the library. That was very rare ,you see, because there were eight kids in the family. Shortly after they got there it started to rain. JT was ready to go home. So he was telling his mother that their house was going to catch on fire. Before his mom had put meatloaf in the oven. So by the time they left the library there was a thunderstorm. And when they got to the entrance to their neighborhood they saw a lot of smoke, more smoke than you can imagine. There was at least ten or eleven fire trucks there. Fr joel said, "I'll go up and see what happened." Ten minutse later he came running down and said to my mom, "Our house is on fire!!" Then my mom got out of the car and they both went up to the house. A few minutes later, some of our friends came driving up. And they went up to the house too. Then Matt Z came up to tell Colin, our other neighbor. Then he came to say hi to us. Ten minutes later my mom came to us to say she wanted us to go up and see the house. When we went up there, we saw the Prichard's - Ben, Mike, and Steven. We watched the fire fighters tear down our house. Soon we went down to the Z's house where we were going to stay for the night. When we got there they had ordered Papa Johns pizza which our whole family loved. Of course in the mornning the Z's had to go to school. Every one was waking up when Matt was going to school.



The End!
