Mourning Heat
By Amberly A. M. Oosthuizen
WHY was it that she, Abigail Smart had to wear black on such a blistering hot day?
She would rather be wearing white but this, in her family would be an outcry.
No, her family were not Goth. No, her family where not vampires, although she wished she were, if only to escape this nauseating heat.
At twelve o'clock she went down the stairs, dressed in head to toe black. Her eyes looked like raccoons and she was exhausted. She met her family into the black hybrid and they stared at her. She sighed with the constant shame that she felt.
The car drove slowly, playing gloomy music to get the in the mood.
When they got to the hot, dark, dreary location Abigail shivered and stared at her family, reminding herself that she was not part of the Addams Family.
With great strength she announced to the world, "I am NOT Goth. I am NOT a vampire. We do NOT belong to the Addams Family. I am merely mourning in this horrible heat..."
