ME, THE MISSING AND THE DEAD

Author: Jenny Valentine

This is my new story, as a mentioned in my previous posts. It is very intriguing, and as I said before, it is very mysterious. I am enjoying it so far, and I hope it turns out to be an interesting, and a nice wrap up and solution. Now what is the problem in my book? Well there is one main problem, and another not so important one, but still plays a crucial part in the climax. First of all, I would like to mention the setting: London, England. Characters: The main character is Lucas Swain. He is a sixteen year old boy looking for answers, which ones? You will find out later in my post. His mom is called Nick. he has an older sister named Mercy, father Pete (missing) and little brother Jed. The three live in a house located in London, England.

The main problem, is definitely Pete. Under mysterious circumstances, 5 years ago Pete, was going to work one day, he where never to come back again. An investigation was led, but nothing was found, now 5 years later, the 4 struggle to battle versus the tide. With no Pete, Nick is the engine of the house. She does all necessary things for her 3 children to manage. Jed is small, and relies on being tooken care of by his bigger brother, Lucas. Lucas is described as a large handsome man, with a big heart.  Mercy is not really described, and Nick is said to be pessimistic and sad, due to the family loss..... She always shouts how Pete is mean and he abandoned them, but the truth is different, and I will not talk about it.

The second and less important problem is finances. The budget is extremely limited, and the 4 rely on what they had from the past. For example, Lucas, always wares his fathers torn and small shoes, he needs to. But Lucas, believes that his father is still alive, and there is some sort of hope inside him. Here is a sentence, that might appear pessimistic, that proves his point: "......I saw a film once about an alien who landed on earth in a human body in a mental hospital. He had all this amazing stuff to teach everyone and he kept telling the doctors who he was, where he was from, and what he had to offer in the way of secrets of the universe and stuff; but they just thought he was crazy and pumped him full of drugs and he stayed there until he died.Maybe something like this happened to my father......" We shall see what happens in my next post, thanks!
