Death and Me

It was a sunny evening and me, my mom, my dad, and my dog were driving down the road.    When we ran out of gas in the middle of no where. In the distance we saw an old torn up repair shop. We walked into the repair store and a creepy man with red eyes and a black coat, and
    he said “Greetings what may I help you with”?
     And I said “We ran out of gas about a mile down this road”.
     My mom said “I’m sorry sir what is your name”?
     And he said “Grim”
     And my mom said “Um last name”?
And he gave my mom a look I have never seen before.
   He took us to the back of the store and my dog started crying not a normal cry a cry I have not heard before. She didn’t bark or moan she just cried. I was very nervous the man’s laugh sounded like an owl but it ended with a creepy screech. I was stupid enough to ask him
“Why won’t you tell us your last name”?
And suddenly my mom and my dad just vanished.
And I said “what did you do with them”?
as his evil laugh started again he quietly said
“Come with me”.
He didn’t take me to the back of the store he took me to 2001. I was in daycare but it wasn’t a normal day in daycare it was the day 9/11 happened. I was just sitting there and the teacher was crying and I said
“Whats wrong”?
The teacher just sat there and Grim said
“Her daughter was in the building”
In fear every parent came and picked their child up including my dad.
I asked “Why are you taking me to these places”?
There was no reply next he took me to 2004 I was chillin at the pool beside my cousin and I just  fell in the pool and sunk to the bottom. Less than a second my dad jumped in the pool and saved me. I didn’t know why Grim was taking me to these places  to be honest I never liked my dad he was cocky and always made me second.
But I never thought of all the things that he has done for me. But then,
he said “What if you didn’t have a dad”?
He took me to 2001 I was in daycare and I asked the teacher the same question but later that day no one came and picked me up. 6 hours later my mom got off work and came and picked me up from daycare. Then he took me back to 2004 i was chillin beside the pool and fell in and sunk straight to the bottom! 3 seconds have gone by and my mom asked
“Where is Blake”?
She saw me in the water and dove in and saved me just in time before I drowned. I was wondering why he was still doing this and he said
“Now do you understand”?
And then I realized that just because he doesn’t show the empathy doesn’t mean its not there. And then he touched me and I woke up in the back of the car and I said
“Where am I”?
And my dad answered,
“You passed out in the repair shop” and I said
“Thanks for not leaving me”.
There was a silence and he replied
“Your welcome”.
And suddenly I had this strange feeling that someone was watching me like a weird creepy feeling. And i turned around and what awaited me was the creepy smile of Grim followed by and wink and then he was gone.
