The Strange Day
Before we got the call, I was at my aunt’s house with my cousins Jawah `and Hasan playing a video game while my aunt and mom were drinking. While we were playing the game, my cousin went downstairs to get a glass of water.
I had an eerie feeling that day. It felt weird with a sense of doom and things just weren’t like they normally would be.

One thing Jawah loved was his video game. He would never get off it unless my aunt told him to and my cousin Hasan loved his phone. If you ever tried to talk to him, he paid you no mind. He wouldn’t even notice you were talking to him unless you tapped him!
I heard my aunt and mom’s phones dialing so I went downstairs again to check up on them and they settled down. As my aunt was on the left side of the couch and my mom was on the right, they were dialing calls to contact the family and tell them about the news.
