《The Midnight Man》Chapter 21 - Sam's Parents
Advertisement
"We're hoooooomeee!" Sam's mum shouted bursting through the door, followed by Sam's dad. She walked into the kitchen and stood in the doorway, speechless. She dropped her bags and sprinted to Sam, almost slipping on the bloody floor.
"SAM!" She screamed, her eyes filling with tears. "Wake up! Please, Sam!" She shook his shoulders violently but it did nothing. Sam was dead.
"Mum!" Sam screamed. "Dad!"
"It's no use, Sam. they can't hear or see us," Colby said.
"Call an ambulance!" Sam's mum shouted. Sam's dad put a finger on his wrist.
"It's no use, honey. He's dead." He responded, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"What do we do?" Sam's mum asked.
"We should get out of here and call the police! Whoever killed him might still be here! Now come on!" Sam's dad said loudly, helping his wife to her feet. They walked out of the house and into the front yard, Sam's dad still on the phone. Sam's mum was crying a lot.
"I'm going outside, I need to be with my parents," Sam said opening the door
"No! Sa-"
"Ouch!" Sam whined, interrupting Colby.
"We can't leave," Katrina said.
"Yeah, we died here so we stay here. Forever." Colby said. Sam just sighed and pressed his hand against the invisible forcefield keeping him trapped inside. A soft tear rolled down his cheek.
"Wait." Sam said, realising something, "This is my childhood home, you guys didn't die here!"
"I know, we died in our old house that went up in flames. It's gone now, so Colby and I had to choose somewhere else to live our ghostly lives." Kat explained.
"That's convenient," Sam said, "But why did you choose this place? You had the chance to go anywhere in the world and chose my parent's house." Colby and Kat started laughing.
"We love you, Sam!" Katrina said hugging him again.
"Yeah, I'd choose you over Disneyland any day!" Colby said with a smile.
"Awwww, thanks, guys! I love you too!" Sam replied.
