Black Death: A Short Story

As I was walking through the grass, the weeds got caught on my pants. Clover was running way ahead of me, but I could still see her tail wiggle in the grass. Soon my mother would call my name so I could come home and eat supper, but I really didn’t feel hungry. Suddenly Clover started barking I rushed to see the excitement. A squirrel was running around a tree as the dog was barking at it. After a while my mother called my name to eat. When I was running back I tripped over a stone and had a big cut on my knee. Sweaty and hurt I cried for my mom she came rushing and picked me up and carried me to the house.
My mother washed it, bandaged it up and treated my wound with care. While eating dinner the phone rang, my mother grabbed it and started
My throat hurt so I told my mom to come take my temperature. I told her I did not feel good so she told me to lay down and rest, so I got into bed. I tried to go to sleep, but It was hard. I decided to read a book to slowly make me tired. I grabbed a random book of the shelf and went in my bed. The book was called, “Black Death”.
The first words were, “Sailing through the seas made the ship rock back and forth, making everyone seasick.” It sounded boring, but It made me think about my dad on the plane that could have crashed on the sea. I started to cry, slowly getting myself to sleep.
I felt icky and sick. I felt as if I was awake, but still sleeping. When I stood up I was wearing a dress that was all dirty. When I looked back I saw I was laying down In a hammock. Suddenly the ground started to rock back and forth. I fell as it happened unaware when it did happen. Looking around I was in a weird wood room with a door. I decided to go outside the door and when I opened It there were lots of people out in the fog on a boat. Wait I was on a boat I thought to myself In a confused expression. I saw land ahead and people were getting ready to aboard the ship while we were sailing in. When the ship hit land the moved a board so we could walk off the ship
I walked over there and washed my legs, arms, and face. “ People believe it’s the end of the world so it's also called the Black death.” Elizabeth said.
Suddenly, she fell down, she had rashes all over her skin they were black.
She started to cry and said, “ Now me! Why does everyone have to be right.” She was shivering so I decided to make a fire like how my father had taught me before he left. The night sky was full of stars. Elizabeth said, “ Collette you have to go to the village straight from here on your own and go to Mama Kioty. She never gets sick there you can live with her. I won’t be able to come with you I’ sick and weak I won’t be able to come with you, ok.”
I said “ok” In a crying voice.
The sky was blue and I guess I fell asleep. I went to wake up Elizabeth but she wasn’t waking up. I then knew why. I fell to my knees and cried. She was my only friend and person who I know she helped me understand what’s going on. I decided to dig a hole to bury
