![]() Lie is Key: Part Three Chapter ThreeA Chapter by Nick "The Stick" Branyon![]() The winner of the Contest!![]() The rising morning of the sun brightened my office waking me up at 9 a.m. I was still in my bed clothes and the outdoors was very welcoming and spectacular. My eyes were squenting because of the bright sun. I had to close the window curtain to dim the light from outside.
I figured that my laptop was still turned on when I wiggled the wireless mouse. Facebook was even on and just about over a million people liked my status today and my e-mails were packed with people's short stories. Thinking to myself, I have to read everybody's stories, but this would actually be very entertaining.
I headed for the kitchen after i looked on Facebook about my contest to make myself breakfest. A egg omlet with pieces of bacon, sausage, and even some pancakes on top of it. I make the weirdest things for my breakfest. When I finally made my breakfest, I headed to the living room to turn the TV on. E News came up when i scrolled through the TV. It was even more weird seeing my name on it about my book, "The Last Breath," being #1 for the season and maybe #1 for the year again for the past six years. I feel more famous than Elvis when he was known around the country (Just as a example oof what I feel like then).
I ate very rapid on my living room couch and went back into the kitchen to clean my dishes. The water was very warm that it almost burned my hands. As I looked outside from the kitchen, my grass was very high in some spots and my boat was starting to mold on the cover-part from the rain when I was at Charleston and New York (Not a drizzle rain, but a storm with high winds). When we have storms in Lake Jocassee, it is very hard and rainy making the sky blackish grey over the mountains.
At 10:47 a.m., I dressed up in my basketball shrots and a black Nike short sleeve shirt. I had never worked out since of Caroline's death. It was about 95 degrees which felt like 103 degrees. Stupid as I was wearing black, it made my whole workout a complete disaster and very exhausting. Jogging and runnning through the trail in the boiling sun at 12:34 p.m., I found many stuff on my trail like old keys, bullet shells, and even experiment knives. I really can't believe that I start finding them a long the trail now.
I sprinted the last stretch of the trail back into the house like a panther with the stuff I found. Opening the door and in the cool air-conditioning house, I went into the office room breathing heavily and sweating to my max. The coolness helped me a lot that day.
I washed myself off in the shower and changed into a clean purple polo with cargo shorts. I headed back into my office and decided to start with the contest. The time was near 1:29 p.m. and I had so many e-mails of short stories that I decided to read the first paragraphs and if it actually attracts me, it will move on.
I brought a pack of Doritos for me, but anyway, I had people from all over the country. Alabama, California, Nevada, Louisiana, Vermont, Alaska, etc. Most of them had sentences that I written and they copyright my stuff to make them look good. I just makes my job easy. Only about two hundred caught my eye. A guy from Montgomery, AL wrote about his true story of fighting stress from the economy and another guy written about a kid killing herself because of racism.
At 7:30 p.m. after reading through every short story, only one stroy then caught my eye and it is from a woman named, Holly Cooke from Augusta, GA. Holly written a little short story about a guy in love with a woman named Shannon Miller. It ended with her getting killed by a demon by drowning because the demons master had his son in her body. It really shocked me with my eyes popping out of my skull from excitement, horror, and a little sadness because it is almost like Caroline.
I logged myself on Facebook at 7:45 p.m. and announced my winner, which was Holly Cooke. People congrat Ashley on her win and some people cussed me out about them losing. I didn't care if they did that but I messaged Holly and asked where she lived in Augusta. In about one minute she replied on Facebook,
"318 Bulldog Rd :)!!! I am very excited to meet you and I hope you come by this weekend! :)" "Sure thing and i will hopefully meet you either this weekend or sometime," I replied back to her.
By 8 p.m., it was official. Doing this kind of makes me feel uncertain to visit a total stranger like that, but hopefully I can have a little fun and satisfied meeting Holly.
The clock in my office turned 9 p.m. and I decided to put the stuff I found from my trail in a safe I got from a pawn shop in Walhalla, SC off 183 into E Main St. That stuff wasn't that heavy but it was too unique to keep it outside.
9:30 p.m., I took my shower (With my spare IPod and speaker this time). Thinking about when I wanted to go to Augusta was difficult. A suprise I thought would be quiet lovely. After a seven minute shower, I decided to leave in the morning over to Augusta at 9 a.m. by driving well over 3 hours and 53 minutes.
I packed my suitcase because I want to stay one night over at Augusta, GA. The reason is that I don't want to drive back coming home in the dark night. At 10 p.m. I went on to bed and thought about the trip and being concerned about this. I fell alseep at 10:15 p.m. and the night skies moon brightened through my bedroom window with a slight breeze blowing on the trees. © 2012 Nick "The Stick" BranyonAuthor's Note
