Every Saturday, Josh goes over to his uncle's house to babysit his 6 year old cousin, Marcus. On the way over there, Josh looks up at the beautiful, vibrant, and clear Carolina blue sky.
"It's going to be a nice day," Josh said in an exciting voice. " I'm going to take Marcus outside to play. "
Josh gets to his uncle's house around 3 pm.
" Hey Josh," his uncle says. "You boys have fun and be careful today, I'll be back around 10 tonight.
" Alright Unc", Josh said.
Josh and Marcus fixed some food and watched Paw Patrol before going outside.
"We will go outside right after we finish eating," Josh said.
During the television show, there was an emergency announcement saying that there is a severe storm coming through there town. Josh looks outside and the sky was still that beautiful, vibrant, and clear Carolina blue.
"There is not going to be a storm," Josh said in a convinced tone. "We can still go outside and play."
Josh and his cousin put there outside jackets on and ran out the door. Outside of his uncles house there is a big playground that he built for his son. Marcus was swinging on the monkey bars, climbing up his tree house, and playing in the dirt when all of a sudden a shadow of gray came over the playground. Josh looked up at the sky and it was gray an black! The clouds were roaring and the the lightning lit up the sky. Josh quickly ran to get Marcus off the playground and went into his uncles shed. His uncle's shed had all the emergency things they needed for the storm but it wasn't enough.
"Stay right here Marcus, I'm going to check out side to see what is going on," Josh said panicking.
Josh walked outside to see what was going on. The sky was still looked black and gray, and it was silent. There were no thundering or lightning. All of a sudden, lightning struck the shed. The shed crumbled right before Josh's eyes.
"Marcus! Marcus! Where are you?!!," Josh said as he pulled the sheds wood from the ground.
Josh pulled back a pile of wood from the stack and found Marcus in a pile of blood. Marcus quickly got to him and called 911 for help.
They rushed him to the hospital, but by the time they got there it was too late. Ever since then they reminisce on this day, remembering the times they spent with him. Josh will never forget the day that h lost his cousin. He will always remember the exact moment it happened. "R.I.P little man, I will miss you," Josh said in a sad voice. "I'll see you soon."
