Kile's Tone: A Narrative Fiction

Improved Essays
Mrs.Turbine woke up with a start, clenching her chest frantically looking around her dark room. Her husband's empty side of the bed lay cold, bare, and nearly untouched. The woman felt woozy and sick. Her throat, dry and rough, ached for her to get up to grab water. As she did so, she thought back as to what she had been dreaming about.

All she could remember was calling out to her son. Her husband thinks that he’s already dead, and that they should schedule a funeral soon, but she had hoped that her baby boy was still alright. Vincent was an only child, her one and only. Though she felt as if she was a horrible mother, she still loved him dearly. Mrs. Turbine felt as if he couldn’t be dead, he just couldn’t.

For all he knew the guy was going to get Zoe. However, Quinn didn’t realize was what Kile had come downstairs this whole time to do.

The dream he had, it scared him. Down to the very bone. Kile, the oldest and self believed to the most reasonable and smart, took it upon himself to take care of Quinn and Zoe. Right now, they were all he had left. And to think that they would die together, while he stayed around, being able to see his friends and family again. He wouldn’t be able to save them from their endeavor. It was something that his self conscious told him. A little Jiminy Cricket that told him that they would die together and Kile would be all but forgotten about.

However, if he convinced Quinn that Zoe didn’t want to go, then maybe he might just be able to save them all. All they have to do is wait for the clues to be found. They will be found. He just has to wait and everything will fall into
