THE DREADED DAY

It was the 25^th day in July. Of course everyone knew it to be summer. But this day was a very dark day for Clinton William. The clouds looked very to him like they were black in colour and the day seemed like it was not moving at all. This day reminded him of how he lost his parents. This marked the end of all the love he had ever known. The story of Clinton Williams started that day.

It was two weeks to his birthday that he was asked what he wanted as a gift from his parents. He purposely asked for a particular toy that was not sold in the part of the world they lived in. He asked them for something that could not be found easily. Clinton, a ten year old boy who loved movies and life, he had watched so many movies that he was so eager to have a particular toy that he saw in one of his  favorite  movies. His parents wanting to please him, had decide to go any length to get the spaceship toy 005 he requested.

 The journey to get the toy began on the 25^th of July 2011. His parents set out in the morning, leaving Clinton with their nanny. They searched several places for this toy but all to no avail. They went ahead to make a series of enquires but they had no luck. Still determined to get this toy, they drove off to a deserted area. They stopped in front of a shop that lacked maintenance. They looked closely at the shop and noticed that there was no one there. They had mixed feelings on whether to enter the shop or not. After much contemplations, they decided to head home and come back the next day hoping to see someone. But as they reversed, they caught sight of a toy in a dusty carton. The mother pleaded with the husband to wait so they could take a closer look at the toy. Mr. Williams agreed and they got down from their car and entered the shop. The toy looked old and dusty like it had been abandoned for years. Mrs. Anne looked closely at the toy searching for the name of the toy. In bold letters though not large, were the inscriptions “SPACESHIP TOY 005”. Mrs. Anne grabbed the toy with so much gladness. It was to her like she had found a hidden treasure. She thought to herself the delight that would be in her sons eyes when she handed the toy over to him. Mr. Williams took hold of the toy and examined it closely trying to confirm it was what they were indeed in search of. Without any doubt it was really the toy. He handed it back to his wife. And off they went towards the exit of the shop and to their car. It was a jolly ride back, until……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….………………………………………………….. TO BE CONTINUED.
