story

The last rays of sun hit the table yet laid for dinner, when Kevin finished dinner, cleared the table and went to get ready, while her mother finished preparing the dishwasher. It was half past eight on a warm summer evening and the sun at sunset, tinged the sky with some variations such as red. Kevin went to his room, took the torch and said goodbye to his mother to exit. He knew that it was necessary to reach their destination about half an hour then wasted no more time, because he did not want to wait for his friends. Released from the front door and greeted his father, busy in the garden, and more cheerfully Sparky, a dog wolf about six months he had had as a gift for his twelve years as usual and fell on him to make him a party. He was on his way to greet him, made him a party and hung around for a hundred yards, not over, after which he sat. He used to wait for a signal Kevin, if you get far once called him to bring with him, and he ran to reach the anticipated staying two steps ahead, on the contrary if you did not call him waiting for it to disappear from sight and then go home. Once went out of the house and Sparky came back, Kevin started down the path. He loved that time of year and especially this time of night. At that particular time of day, it was as if nature offered a unique spectacle. The sinking sun tinged the sky with a palette worthy of an artist, the crickets chirped in the background, the fireflies twinkling stars that seemed descended to earth and the scent of various plants in the air, moreover, was cool. So it was the perfect time to go for walks. He walked down the street, although to be honest it was not really a road, but a middle way between the trail and path, wide enough to allow the passage of a car, but also quite slippery, not to exceed in speed. This trail crossed before the wheat fields for a couple of miles and then skirting a forest, and finally get to the mast, then went to a nearby country. The mast was a huge tree that took this name because of its size, certainly superior to any tree had ever seen. He had a stem and a head so big that we could even build a small wooden house. Waiting for the "usual place" as they were usually indicate, there were some friends of his age mostly. Martha Scott and Daniel had the age of Kevin, Tommy and Lisa had a few years younger, James Grant and a few more years. For two years they had taken this hobby. After dinner they met all sets to tell ghost stories: those who pointed the flashlight against, those who totally camouflaged and at the end of the evening they lay all their heads upwards to see the stars. That was a moment of confession collective, all pretty much confided something to others, even to have a different opinion. He had created an understanding between them, but most of the time gossiping on the plus and minus and sometimes even ended up doing idiotic races. To Kevin, thinking about it a few times he was laughing. Epica was that time when Martha and Daniel to tell a story engaged Grant. The first two in the role of princess and servant - Daniel in the role of servant waving Marta with a palm tree was too funny, they all laughed from their arrival on the scene until the end - and Grant in the role of external narrator - and even he was struggling to narrate saw the scene. Their story was of ghosts, of course, but the performers were so hilarious that instead of creating tension, turned it into a comedy sketch, the audience doubled over with laughter. Another time was when their appointment there were only boys. This time Grant had been drinking at dinner a bit 'too much coke and was burping repeatedly, eventually dragged the whole group in a competition to see who was better, this time it was a riotous evening. It was quite a handful and their Kevin could not wait to get to see what would happen that night, boredom was not allowed. He thought of all these episodes while whistling to himself and smiled. They were in a sense all a bit 'Wait, but it was a touch of madness that joined the group. The Kevin's house was about halfway through the fields, then now began to appear the forest. Kevin was walking down the stretch at the beginning of the forest when he heard a loud bang that startled him. He immediately went on alert and pointed the gun toward the bush. This move but he saw nothing in spite of the light.
