The Story That Has No Point

By: Cameron Offner

Our story begins where another ends, or so they thought. Herald Throndsen is a 72-year-old grandfather at the end of his life. His family is sitting around him weeping. He is laying in a bed and closes his eyes for what he thinks is the last time. Then he hears a guttural scream. His eyes flash open, and shock hits him. He is looking at himself or at least his body. Then it hit him, he was a ghost. He quickly looked around and could see that it was his mother that had let out the scream. Then she started to cry uncontrollably. He instinctively tried to go and comfort her. Just as his hand was about to reach her shoulder there was a bright flash of light and he was suddenly thrown against the wall. As he did a book fell off the shelf. Everyone in the room spun around and looked at the book. They were all shocked because they had no pets and nothing else could have knocked the book down. Then the unthinkable happened, the book began the float. What they couldn't see was that Herald had picked up the book.
