Josh pulled his boat up to the docks, he was so glad to be back after his week long fishing trip. It was his time to collect his thoughts and figure out what he was going to do after college. He grabbed his cooler of fish and headed up the boat ramp. He couldn’t wait to let his family know what he decided, but something wasn’t right. Josh stopped, and laid down his cooler. There was a bad smell in the air, it didn’t seem dangerous but it defiantly wasn’t normal. Josh reached in his pocket to grab his phone, but noticed there was no service. That’s weird he thought, I just paid the bill. Josh felt a bit nervous as he picked up his cooler and headed towards home, thankfully he didn’t live far from the water.
When he got there he put the cooler on the counter and yelled out for his family, but no one answered. What was going on, where was everyone? Josh went to the fridge to grab a soda, realizing very quickly that no one had been there all week. Josh’s mind filled with worry, he knew it was unlike his mother to go far and that something must have happened to them for the fridge to be so empty. Grabbing his coat he went to search for his family and to figure out what was happening , maybe someone would have the answers he needed.
