Before I write this I want to let you know this has nothing to do with me, but is powered by the feeling of paranoia in my stomach.
Tom lived in house that sat by itself on a hill to the right of Midveil town. It is dark and old. The house looks like it could either collapse or eat you if you touch it. Tom never came out of his dreary prison. Noone in town knows for sure but of course made rumors. One of these was silly enough to say he was a spie from a planet near Mars. But only Johnny, a brave 7 year old who ventures to Toms house once a week, knows the truth. He dared not tell it to no soul. Tom and Johnny had agreement. And when he was able to tell Tom's story is when he is dead and barried in his beloved house basement.
Johnny, who recently turned 7, spoke at Tom's funeral which took place a month after his actual placement in his narrowhouse (because people didn't want to enter the dark and depressing house of Tom).
"Tom was a good guy," Johnny started, "You all just misjudged him. He lived in a house that looked dark and melancholy only 'cause thats what his heart was filled with. He wasn't to be feared but to be counsoled(sp). I went once a week to have tea with Tom. As we sipped our tea he told me his story of his love, Cynthia. They met at the age of 15. They loved each other sooo much that they got engaged (at the age of 20). They were going to their planned trip to Ireland when Tom walked in on his love having relations with a man thought to be just a friend. He felt like killing himself, but some strange force wouldn't let him. His heart had a chronic pain, like someone scraping it out. He couldn't help but return to his home and sit. He sat till today, at the age of 145, were his heart felt its last scrape and finally died of heart brake." Johnny stopped to wipe a tear, "He always told me how she was and still is the greatest thing in his life even though she basicly killed him. SKANK!!!! Excuse me Father McBride, but she took his soul away. He never blinked as he was talking to me. One time I found a letter hidden in a blank book. It was a note from Cynthia. According to it she bagged for forgiveness many times, but he was too heart broken to respond. I found thid out when I found 2 notes to her every one. He couldn't bare sending them. To see her love with that fellow killed him. He didn't even died of old age. He commited a sin to die. He had longevity, but to only suffer. 130 years of suffering that love to hang himself on only lifeless tree in his lang on the hill. ASHAME!!!! YOU ALL SHOULD BE HANGING FROM THAT TREE WITH HIM!!!" Johnny shook his finger at the crowd angryly, stopped then continue with his speech, "None of you had enough heart to stop by and said hello. We didn't even know of his death till Brian's dog dragged his bottom part of his body to Mary Anne's front door. Tom needed a shoulder to cry on, a hug to warm him, and a new heart. And none of you couldn't give him any of it. Well..." Johnny walks away.
Later that day Brian's dog is spotted dragging something away from the hill were Tom used to reside. Fredrick, the local lawman, discovered it was Johnny's body with a rope tied around his neck.
Moral: One broken heart=2 deaths or even more...
BTW I wrote this when I was 7. so I'm sick in da head!
