This is my first story so please forgive me.


Hello my name is Jake I am a six foot 9 inches tall and I am 26. I have a very fit life style, I have my own company fixing cars and big rigs and I am doing very well. I have 6 shops in 5 city’s and all in all I give most of the credit to my time in the military. I was an engineer and worked on tanks and other vehicles some times getting in to the fight my self.

I look at the clock and it reads 3:27 AM. So thinking this might be some thing important. I get up put on my robe and go to the door. my 9mm Beretta in hand just in case its a stupid thief who thinks that getting me to open the door will get him any where. I open the door to find a crazy blizzard ravaging my town and a figure rushes past me in to my home. I yell at them to stop but then I see a girl holding a bundle in her arms. She says her car broke down and she needs some one to help. I proceed to turn on the lights and lead her to the fire place to warm her. Quickly lighting a fire and getting her a blanket. when I return I find she is undoing her bundle and a young baby is in her arms. I tell her that no one is going any where in this storm raging winds howling out side my windows. I start to ask her name but then I get a good look at her and I realize this is my old friend Megan. Stunned I just stand there mouth hanging open. She asks what and I quickly close my mouth

I ask Megan is that you she asks if we have meet before its me Jake from school remember she looks me over then I can see it click in her eyes. Oh my god Jake is that you you look grate. You lost so much wight I couldn’t recognize you. You look grate what have you been doing. Forget about me what are you doing hear when you left town. I never thought I would see you again and who is this young one you have. Oh Samantha she is my daughter I just ran away from my abusive boyfriend this is our daughter. Just as the last few words get out the power flickers then goes out I remember I am holding my Beretta I turn on the light and unload my pistol I tell her to stay by the fire I will be back soon I get some of my camping gear from storage and I set up a tent light in the living room.

She asks about the heat I tell her my house is heated my propane heaters that I had running the storm HOWLS menacingly out side and she shivers I sit down be side her and ask her why she came back hear.
