A Twitch In My Being

I can't remember the date to save my life. I was in school, grade 4. This can't be relevant to my first story... Can it?

My brother was in Caritas Creek, for days. We got a letter from my brother saying: Hi guys I'm loving Caritas! See you later or some other nonsense.

My Dog, Banjo was sick, I mean, he was always sneezy and drolly. I was at school when I felt a twitch in my being, like someone pulling a hair from your being. Being as in soul. It was only second period. And I was worried about my sick dog Banjo. Banjo was living at the vet at this time.

At lunch time I felt the pulling again. I looked at the clouds and watched time move particularly, like a gate opening. I love clouds so I just brushed it off, wind currents and all that science. P.E. Time was after lunch and near the end my eyes watered for no reason followed by the pulling sensation it felt like I was ripped in half. So I asked to go to the bathroom and when I was there I looked in the mirror, my eyes were purple, when I cry my skin color distorts. So the rest of the day went by and when I got into the car my mom had tears in her eyes.

I remember thinking 'The gates opening, Oh God!' Banjo had died the day before my brother came home.

To this day I miss Banjo.
