“Hey, do you
have the time?” said a man that I didn’t recognize that was sat next to me on
the train.
“Yeah, it’s
3:30 am.”
“Thanks,”
the man said looking at me more carefully, “You know I don’t think I have seen
you before what is your name?”
“Oh, I am
Ingram, and your name is?”
“Oh, you’re
that guy!” The man said smacking his head.
“Um, I’m
sorry I don’t know what you mean.” I said as I noticed that the rate of people
whispering increased exponentially. I felt very uncomfortable
because I felt very many eyes staring at me.
Maybe this
short snippet will give you a clue on what it is about or maybe it
wont hehe.
Its first words
Once there
was a baby, he was just at the age where he was learning to walk and
talk. This baby’s parents’ names were Charlie and Angie. They
decided to call the baby Ingram Terrance.
However, Ingram never quite learned to say his name actually Ingram’s
first work was it. Now whenever the parents would tell someone want
little Ingram’s first word was, the person would say, “where did he hear
that?” Then Charlie would say, “I remember one time when my mom came over
to see Ingram for the first time she called him it a lot.”
Angie would butt in and say, “I told her not to but she thought it was funny
because I.T. is his initials.” Then Charlie added, “Ingram spends a
lot of time with his grandma whenever she comes over.” Then whoever asked
them the question would say bye and leave rather quickly.
I was
sitting in my backyard thinking of my life in general and how I came to be who
I am. My thoughts took me to my childhood, when I moved into this
house when I was only three months old. I remember it like it was
yesterday. I was sleeping when I got dropped off by my dad, I could
hear faint noises crowding around me. When I woke up I was in a
bed. I saw a strange article lying on the floor. I
crawled out of bed and picked up this strange article.
I
examined it and looked at it in every angle possible. This thing
felt hard it tasted like nothing I ever tasted before, and it looked like a
huge building block. I thought it was type of food, but it couldn’t
have been because it wouldn’t be sitting on the floor. I saw Fred
watching me, I brought the strange article up to him and he took it with one
swipe. Fred started to talk, while looking at the
article. I was confused. Fred came down to me and showed
me the thing. He told me that it was a book that you read out
of. In a baby sort of talk, as though he thought I
couldn’t understand him.
I
looked at him and held out my hand “Can I have it back?”
Fred was
just sitting there with his mouth open. “Jeez can’t I just have it back?”
Fred went to
sleep with his mouth open still. “I guess I just go find Sonya!”
“SONYA!” I
yelled. I saw Sonya in the running franticly with a broomstick
screaming “Who’s there!” I yelled back “It’s
me Ingram!” Sonya dropped the broom and stared off into the
distance.
“Sonya! Fred’s
down!” I yelled in her direction.
This makes
me laugh I wrote it a long, long time ago. In a place that isn't to far from
where I live now, just a couple miles. The parents names change
because he was in foster care you know. Sally is supposed
to be his sister but maybe not in this universe. I think she was still an
alien. All the names mentioned in this story were
my bird's names but two, have fun guessing which ones! Hint the
more bizarre names. This is a lazy post, just rehashing old things I
wrote but I was reading them today so there! this one a bit earlier than normal
but who is counting. Okay i didn't say anything about the title at all in this post, but honestly it does make sense, trust me. Ingram was an arsonist at the birth of the character and still is today, well sorta. Is fire a natural occurrence? Have a wonderful day lovelies'.
