Evan Radley

My Character

Evan Radley
Tall
male
jet black hair
red & black lightning striped converse high-tops
green skinny jeans
purple striped shirt

Quote from Evan, "You wouldn't understand, I 'm just that cool."

Excerpt from the story:
I'm done with school, so I walk home. As I approach my house, instantly I know something is wrong. The garage door is covered in gunshot holes. I dash up the steps and rip the front door open. I see a trail of blood leading toward the basement. Slowly, I make my way toward the basement. I grip the doorknob. Carefully, I turn the knob. I open the door and see a sight I will never forget. A strange man is standing over my mother's dead body and is sawing away at my now dead father's neck. When he look up at me he smiled. Then in a flash he threw the knife. I ducked then did a backflip. I gripped the knife. 
"You wouldn't understand, I'm just that cool," I jeer at him.
The man made a run for it. Luckily, I have ninja reflexes. I dash after him, knife still in hand. He kicks the front door down and keeps running. I hurdle the door. Suddenly he stops, and before I know it there is a knife in my side. I cry out in pain and fall to my knees. I grip the other knife I was holding and fling it at the man and see him die instantly before it goes black.

That is the end of the preview.
