The End of the Party
by

Francis Morton had "a sick empty sensation in his stomach and a rapidly beating heart... fear of the party." The birthday party in question, that of ten year old Colin Henne-Falcon, was tonight. Nine year old Francis had unpleasant memories of last year's party, taunts by others during the egg-and-spoon races and dunking for apples. He had always been fearful of many things while his older twin, Peter was instinctively protective of him, a mirror to Francis, trying to exude self reliance and confidence. Unable to avoid attending the party, Francis feared the "approaching terror of the night" which included a game of hide and seek in the darkness.
In the short span of 9 pages, the reader experiences a plethora of emotions as the story barrels to an unexpected, eerie ending. Wow!
Thank you Kevin and Laysee for bringing this gem to my attention.
