LAYRIN
They said dark, wild storms were heralds of death and destruction, the
omen of bad things to come. What if what was coming was bad for
everyone but you? Did that make you worse than the storm?
In a small coal mining town in Virginia, down some dingy, dirty back roads,
I was wide awake as the violent pounding of the rain pelted the walls and
windows of the broken-down house. I was used to the snores and whimpers
from the other girls in the orphanage, but all of those normal sounds were
engulfed by the storm. The constant rumble of thunder that rattled this
decomposing home made it very apparent that this was the place for the
unwanted and undesirable, but you wouldn’t think that from a distance.
From far away, the large Victorian-style house seemed massive and elegant,
giving off a sort of Southern charm. Butting up to the woods for an open
backyard, it seemed like the perfect enchanting playground for kids, but that
was all a facade. All it took was being within a few yards to see the broken
shutters, overgrown vines, and chipped paint covering the house like it had
the pox. There were holes and loose floorboards scattered around the large
wrap-around patio, making it dangerous for anyone to walk on if you didn’t
have practice. The quaint, magical house turned into something eerie,
depressing, and uninviting.
A damp, cool mist filled the room, and the howling wind echoed throughout
the space amidst the steady plops of drops in buckets. My bed was shoved
up against a thin window that seemed like it was going to shatter at any
moment. I dragged myself up, knowing I wasn’t getting any sleep, so why
try? Staring into the pitch-black abyss outside, mesmerized by the patterns
made by fat raindrops on the window, when a set of flashing lights turned
the corner, coming my way.
As if in a trance, my feet went to the ground, and I stood up, taking a few
steps closer. A frigid cold pressed against my palms against the glass, my
eyes tracked the lights in the darkness. As the lights bobbed around, I
squinted, making out a truck coming down the road. Who the hell is coming
here now?
The truck screeched as it flung around, spraying mud, so the bed of the
truck was facing the front of the house. Whoever it was, was not here for a
social call; they were already prepared to leave.
Narrowing my eyes, I tried to make out what was in the back of the truck,
only able to see three mound-like shapes beneath a tarp. I slumped forward,
guessing it was just a rush delivery from Matt, the farmer, down the street.
He was the only reason we had any vegetables and milk for supper since he
had a bleeding heart for orphans, but it was odd for him to make a delivery
this late and in a storm.
