This is my practice piece for my Easttle sample writing, I didn't get even close to finishing it but here's something anyway.
The Day Things Started Disappearing
Hail violently splattered against the window as a single raindrop dripped from the ceiling and into a dark blue bucket across the room “Mum!? We need to need a new bucket, this one is basically full” “then get one your self Sophia” Sophia sighed before standing up and walking over to the bucket, she picked it up, it felt heavy, she stood in a ring of water that the bucket had left behind and slipped over, spilling the water everywhere and soaking her hoodie and jeans in the water, she sighed and she rested her head in the water getting her hair wet now too as a drip of water landed on her forehead. Later that night Sophia and her mum sat down for dinner “do you really have to keep the divorce papers all over the table while we eat dinner?” Sophia asked, “its kinda depressing ya know?” “well, where else am I supposed to put them?” Sophia’s mum said in a slightly agitated voice
“I’m sorry I’m just upset about your dad and I’s divorce” she apologised
“Hey wheres Baxter?” “I’m not sure” “Baxter!?” they Both yelled, a big black dog walked at a slow pace into the room “hey buddy” Sophia said to him as she reached out to pat him on the head, he started wagging his tail “I have to go out to the shops to get some groceries” Said Sophia’s mum as she got up and put on a big yellow jacket “okay, see you” Sophia’s mum grabbed keys and opened the door “Hey, stay safe, don’t let anyone in okay?” “I’m sixteen I have been home alone hundreds of times, I will be fine” “okay bye honey I will be back in thirty” she said before shutting the door behind her.
