The Wooden Boy

the wooden boy

Slowly, I opened my eyes an old man stood in front of me beaming with joy and happiness.” hello my boy” the man said with a warm smile.

“Who are you” I asked with confusion.

“Oh my boy I created you” he answered in reply.

“How?” I questioned.

“Magic he dasilled his fingers in the air. He moved towards me trying hold me upright. I grunted and blacked out as a flashback filled my wooden mind.

Confusingly, I looked around screams could be heard around me as I was sitting in the fire. I looked down and nearly jumped out of my skin. But I couldn’t jump I couldn’t move. Below where my legs should’ve been was nothing.

Slowly, I realised what had happened and snapped back to reality. The old man was staring sadly at me.” What HAPPENED” I asked furiously.

“You got caught in the fire” the old man said. I couldn’t save your mother but I could save you.

“Dad?” I asked astonished. He nodded in reply I tried to move my arms but I couldn’t.” I’m sorry” he said as he faded away.

“NO” I said refusingly. NO come back! I screamed as tears streamed down my face.
