Cellar Door

A young woman moves to a big city after living in a mall town all of her life to find out that she has to move back to help her little brother with his "weird behavior". Come to find out there is a world that she never knew existed, and her own brother is

    When I opened my eyes I was relieved to see that the sun had come back out. “Finally.” I whispered to myself. It had seemed like days since I had seen a gleam of natural light. Here it is, this is the day. Today I have to move back to the small town that I have lived for most of my life, I have mixed feelings about moving back, the reason why I am so reluctant is because it’s one of those towns that everyone knows everyone, and everyone is in everyone’s business. I’m more of a city girl; I like my privacy. I don’t really care much for gossip. I love the city because there are so many secrets to hold, you don’t know the man cutting your hair or your butcher, and best of all, they don’t know you. Of course I have to love Humboldt a little bit though because the entire town is family, and I love my family a lot.
    I began packing days ago, but I tried to put it off as long as I could in hopes that something might happen to where I don’t have to go now. When I got the phone call from my mom saying she needed me to help take care of my little brother I was reluctant. I had always dreamed of moving to Chicago, and since James is acting out I have to go and straighten him up. My mom has always believed that only I can understand him, and I play along because it makes her happy that he’s not alone, but the truth is I have no idea what’s wrong with him.
