“Timmy, come on we’re leaving!” Mom said, as she waited inside the car with Max, and Dad. Max said,”Come on Timmy, you’re going to make us late!” That was Max’s viewpoint, but Timmy knew that we were early. Finally, Timmy got in the car, and Dad started driving. Around three hours into the road trip, they started to get hungry. “Dad, did you bring the snacks?” Timmy said. “Let me check.” Dad said. “Oh, Oh!” Dad said. He fumed that he forgot the snacks. He confided that forgot the snacks. Dad forgets things habitually. “Looks like we will have to go to a gas station and buy some snacks.” Mom said. Dad drove to the gas station, got out of the car,

and bought some snacks. On the way back to the car, he saw he saw a shiny shard that stabbed the tire. He took out the shard, but accidentally punctured himself in the process!

“Are you ok?” Mom said. Dad said,”I’m fine.” Hurtfully. Mom was dubious about his answer. The shard looked like something that would have been deported. Another car came by, and saw that they had a flat tire. He actually had and extra tire, so he decided to give it to them! Mom and Dad appreciated it and they both gave him $10! They persevered through the road trip. While Dad was

driving, he spitefully went passed a red light, he is not ok!

Mom inferred that Dad was not acting like himself! Mom, Timmy, and Max were all afraid. It’s like a different variation of Dad. It seemed like Dad was very eager to go somewhere that is nowhere near their location. While Max was sitting in his chair, he said,”purple.” Timmy looked at what he was pointing at, and saw a little purple paper strip. First, he acted with indifference act. Timmy grabbed the paper, and read it. Then he realized that it was important. The paper said, “If you want your dad back, you need to give us something in return.”

Timmy spotted an extremely shiny purple shard pointing out of Dad’s pocket. Timmy surmised that what he will do is right.

CRASH! Dad had crashed into a sign! Everybody gets out of the car except for Dad. Dad slowly gets out after them, and he goes straight to a weird looking area that looks like a slum. No one has gotten hurt because the crash was on the side of the car. Max started crying, while Mom tried to calm him down. Timmy pondered about what he should do. Mom said,”Timmy, Max, follow me.” while she escorted them to wherever Dad was going. Mom

tried to stop Dad but it’s like he has no discipline in himself! Mom felt intrepid because she knew that it was all up to her to save Dad, Timmy, and Max! Mom stated out the principles which were, stay close, hold each other’s hands, and never listen to anyone that talks to you. If they all represent in these rules, they will be ok. Max saw a child hit the highest rank in a game, he wanted to play so bad, but he knew that it was not safe. Dad went to a huge basement in an abandoned house. There were many analysis papers around the house. Max was not sure what the study was about, but he saw an image of the shiny shard.

Whoever is the owner of these papers is definitely a phenomenon at whatever he/she is studying.

Dad entered a room and inside there was something looking like an imitation of an ATM, but more fancy. Max was looking around the room, and he saw many pictures of what he thought was indigenous people. Timmy came up to the machine, and inserted the shiny shard! A screen popped up and showed many photos of the family memory. Mom realized that some of the pictures are pictures from Dad’s descent. Family, fun memories, friends, songs, everything has been forgotten! Everything is over with him! It's like he

restarted life! Mom cried for days, and days, and days. There is nothing that the family can do! It’s over!

The End
