ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
hi, my name is justin anfuso. I am 14 and I started writing after doing a end of the year project for my english class. I live in Massachusetts with my family. [June 2005]
It was a dreary night out again, just like it has
been for the last two days in a row. The lighting
was lighting up every second or so almost like a
2 year old was turning off and on a light switch.
As I looked out the window, I saw trees falling
down and twigs being scattered all about on the
ground. Then suddenly a bright flash burst
through the sky and suddenly I noticed a man
standing there in the pouring rain. I almost
jumped out of my bed when I saw him. I quickly
went over to get my glasses to see what he looked
like. As I put my glasses on and looked out the
window, I noticed that he staring at our house.
He wasn’t looking around at anything, just
starring at our house ignoring the storm. I
quickly called my dad on his phone and told him
that there was a strange man outside and that I
was afraid. He said that he was on his way
anyways.
I never did understand why my dad when out on
nights for long periods of times at least twice
a week. He just said, “ that you wouldn’t
understand it even if I explained it to you,
maybe when you are older I will tell you.”
As I heard my dad’s car drive into the driveway,
I quickly jump to the window and took out the
pistol under my bed in case the stranger
attacked my father. But at the first words I
heard, I could tell that these two had met before
so I put my gun back under my bed. I put some
shoes on and my rain jacket and quickly went
down the stairs like a ball would. As I got to
the door I opened it and shouted out, “ who is
that daddy?” And he quickly turned his head in
surprise to me. The rain and lighting quickly
died off almost like it was a miracle. He then
introduced me to this strange man in an all black
suit. After introducing me the two went off in
a conversation about what they remembered when
they met a long time ago in a café. When he was
just about to say something important he looked
over at me like he didn’t know I was there. He
quickly shoed me off and told me to go get sleep
so I can get up early and work on the books with
my dad. Not wanting to move, my dad quickly
said, “ if you leave my friend and I for an
important conversation I will buy give you a new
book. The only thing I heard after that
was, “ how is the business with the books coming
along?” Probably said by the strange man in
all black. As I got into my bed I though of any
and all of the possibilities of why this man on
earth was here at all. Maybe because my dad owes
him something? No, I doubt that. Maybe because
he needs something down with a book? No,
because he said what is this business about
books. As I thought harder and harder about
this my head was overridden by sleep.
