The Suspicious Stranger
Chapter 1
The Day We Met
When I had bowling in my Saturday morning league, I saw this guy there that I’ve seen before. He was a buff Hispanic looking dude, about 5’9”. He had a bald head like he just got out of the army or something. And he sat at the table next to my dad.
I was bowling my first game and this guy was just staring at me all through the first game. Then I noticed that he was talking to my dad, knowing my dad he’s a friendly guy so I didn’t pay any mind to it.
It was about the third frame after I hit the pins so hard that I thought they broke, that I saw my dad look at this guy and shake his hand. Then I thought this could be a cool guy, and that my dad would introduce me to this man. He looked like a man maybe in his late twenties; he had this weird, high pitch laugh that made you want to look away like you didn’t know him.
At the end of the first game I ended up with at 178. At the start of the second game this guy started looking at me kind of like I did something bad. And I just kept on bowling with my team, and at the end of the second game I bowled a 198.
Chapter 2
Game 2
As I was bowling, my dad kept on talking to this guy that I still didn’t know, then I was getting kind of worried about my dad. This guy make me nervous, after I looked at him I put my hand in my ball and I felt a chill move from my hand all throughout the rest of my body.
After I bowled my last game that was a 169, I walked up to this guy and I introduced myself and his claw of hand grabbed mine and he shook my whole body. Mind you I was only 8 years old. This mystery man looked like a giant to me. Than my dad said something to me that I will never forget. This mystery man was my cousin; my cousin Trinity got married to this guy, his name is Carlos. They got married 2 months ago. I sighed with relief.
I was so relieved that he was a new cousin, and not a rapist. He looked like he just came out of the army because he just did! He was on leave for the rest of the year in Death Valley with rest of my family. He wanted us to come to the burning south CA with rest of the family and he said that he would see show me how to shoot 12 gauge shotguns and machine pistols.
GOD IS LOVE
