Virgil's 'Virgil': A Narrative Fiction

Improved Essays
The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound.

Graghh!

"Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... "

A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail.

"I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!"

Awoo!

...

When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but throw her glass of water at him. Scared stuff by the sudden yelling by his owner, then startled by a splash of water from the glass that shattered next to him, Virgil sprinted out of the room and through the doggy door leading outside the house.

"What

"I... Virgil..."

Panic set in. Not knowing what to do, the little girl darted out of the house and chased after her dog.

Having been yelled at and almost hit by a flying object, Virgil ran once more as he saw his owner fly out of the house and run towards him.

Relying on pure instinct, the short legged dog began to run.

Muddled by panic and the impending punishment she'd receive after her mother found the broken glass, the short legged girl kept running behind the dog.

After 5 minutes of running, both girl and dog stopped on a fallen tree to catch their breath.

"Where? Where are we?"

The scared dog and girl combo had unknowingly ran into the nearby forest. Not knowing where they'd come from, they started aimlessly walking, hoping to come across a familiar walking trial or the stream that flowed down towards home.

After a few short hours, nightfall arrived. With it, the frightening sounds of the forest nightlife, its eerie chill, and the wailings of a scared little girl and her.

"Stupid dog! Why'd you have to run away to the forest? I wanna go home. I wanna go home! I, wanna,

I'll stop talking about you know what, if you stop trying to sound and act all gangster while we're out here. You know that's the reason you got beat up so much back in school."

"Man... why can't you guys just accept me for whos I is.

So, are you guys going to take the deal?"

A large developer had come forth from no where and offered to buy up all the land in town. With their more than generous offer, most of the town had accepted. This left the remaining few in an awkward situation. Some had chosen to stay due to a sense of pride. Others had wanted to milk the developer for more money.

However, after the mass buyout and departure from so many town members and businesses, everyone knew it was a matter of time before they wouldn't be able to live in their little town.

"I think I finally convinced my folks to sell. This will probably be the last time I'll be able to come out and hunt here."

"What do you think they're going to do with this place? Think the rumors about the old mine having some sort of previous mineral is true?"

"Honestly, I couldn't care less. I already found this great house in the city. I'm just waiting to see what you and your family decided on. But now that I know they finally gave in I can leave without much

    "Never go into Chutzpah Forest alone," Aunt Margaret always warned, as long as I could remember. "An ancient dragon dwells there and he would love nothing more than to capture you and devour you for supper." As a child, I used to squeal in terror and nod earnestly, reaffirming my promise to her that I would never venture into that dark and quiet forest, alone or otherwise. As I grew into a young woman, however, the warning seemed very childish. Dragons indeed!…

    My sister, Chloe, has wanted a dog for as long as I can remember. Even at the age of three, she would always watch the cartoons with puppies in them, sometimes even have a fit when they were not airing. She would also always ask me for help when she wanted to prove she could take care of a dog, since I am pretty smart and have straight A's. Honestly I did not want to help her, because the truth is I hate dogs. I’ve seen what animals like these could do to people, so I don’t want to be near them.…
