Grotesque: [groh-tesk]
Adjective; 1. Odd or unnatural in shape, appearence, or character; fantastically ugly or absurd; bizzare Original image:[] I was really looking for something that wasn't gross so the word absurd came to mind as a good word to research for the picture. So when i looked it up it showed only gross things but the picture at the bottom caught my eye and so i used it to describe grotesque because it had an odd appearence and it was very bizzare to me. It is so absurd as like a casual moment but with a scary twist to it.



=Short Story﻿=

“Hey dad” Mia said. “How was school?” said her father. “ It was okay” Mia said while lazily throwing her backpack on the couch. Mia thought she should really go see her mother in Florida since it was going to be her birthday next weekend and she had thought about it all week. She had really only thought about how long it would take to get there and how much she really didn’t want to drive there. “When is Nikko going to be home?” Mia said. “She went to her final track meet so she won’t be home until five ‘o’ clock.” Her father said. Mia went upstairs to her bedroom to finish her to finish her homework from math class.

As soon as she walked into her bedroom she found a beautiful pot of tiger lilies on her dresser and they had a card attached to it. The pot of flowers and card were from her mother and the card said. “I miss you Mia and hope hope you can find it in your heart to come see me for your birthday week, i know how you are with driving... hope you like the flowers too i know they’re your favorite. Love, Mom.” Mia never usually liked to talk about driving ever since her brother Michael had driven to Florida one time for a family reunion and got into a car crash and passed away a week later of injuries. She loved him so much and only remembered one her brother said to her. “Don’t take the back way off of Cherry Creek road if there is any weather coming or going through there.” That was two days before he had passed away from the injuries in the hospital. “We are going to leave this Friday so that leaves you guys three days to pack your clothing for the two weeks that we are going to be there.” Mia’s father said. Mia usually only went for one week but this time she wanted to stay for two weeks since she was going to be turning fourteen now.

Now that it was Friday she was having a really hard time focusing in school because she found out in science class that everywhere one hundred miles away from Blue Hills was going to be raining. Blue Hills was sixty miles away from Cherry Creek. She was definitely going to ask her father about the weather. When school got out she was waiting for her father to come get her. When her dad pulled up she immediately told him that the weather was going to be bad but her father insisted that the rain was going to be very little and that he was an experienced driver so that meant they would be just fine. Mia had seen the clouds in the sky and could not stop looking at the thunder cracking like a whip waiting for its horse to appear. After they were home for about an hour her father called out above the stairs. “Mia…? Nikko…? Are you ready to go?” “Yea hold on” Mia said. “I can’t find my blue shirt” Nikko said. Her father ignored Nikko’s statement; he didn’t think she needed to have another shirt to go along with the twenty bags she had to bring with her. As soon as everyone got into the car Nikko had started to look up at the clouds through the window. They were very dim due to the amount of tint covering the window. Even Nikko had an urge to say that something odd was going on and she could just see it in the clouds as they stood in a violent position waiting to pounce on its pray. Mia and Nikko were both staring at the clouds now and they both just felt a sharp stab of nervousness go through their bodies. As they were sitting in the car they were all silent and had already driven about fifty miles up the back road and every mile the car got closer to the Cherry Creek road another tear had slid down Nikko’s face in a serene movement of pain in her heart. Mia could tell she was really trying to keep her tears back but the love for Michael was t just overcoming her because he was gone now and she could never change that. She and Michael had never really gotten along when he was still alive but she always loved him even when she was mad at him. She was so hurt that she couldn’t go back and change what she said to him and change the way she acted. They eventually had run out of gas because her father didn’t have a full tank before he had left the house. Mia and Nikko needed to get some fresh air anyway since the two of them were thinking about Michael. They tried to clear their minds so that they wouldn’t have a gloomy trip all the way to Florida. They both asked their dad for a dollar each so they could go buy some gum; they liked to chew gum because it was soothing for a long road trip. Mia and Nikko took their time because their father was really slow when he filled the car up with gas. Once they were done they realized that their father was done too so they made a rush to get back into the car. Everyone was satisfied now that they had gotten some gum and gas. Nikko was still looking at the clouds in an awkward way. The way she looked at them was almost as if she were possessed.

The corner out of the gas station was blind and hard to make a turn on when you didn’t know if a car was going across. As soon as Mia’s dad had made a quick attempt to turn the corner a bolt of lightning flashed before their eyes and shocked everyone. As it jolted Mia’s dad he had slammed on the breaks and caused four other cars to have no time for a reaction and to crash directly into their car. It was so unrealistic for Mia, she had never been in a car crash before but in her first she had gotten the car door crushed into the side of her while she had her head hit against the window like a clap it was so fast. It was horrible for mia and Nikko, they had watched their father go straight through the windshield. He looked like a doll he was so limp going through the glass. It reminded nikko of an action movie. Mia thought about the course that they had to take last year about wearing seat belts all the time and never to forget them. Unfortunately her father wasn’t their for that and he had lost his life all because of a reminder to put your seat belt on. The teacher wasn’t joking when she said it could save your life. Nikko wasn’t in the same grade as Mia that year so she didn’t get the speech about wearing her seat belt. She only rolled to the front seat though. She had ended up sitting on top of Mia. The thunder’s whip had found its horse after a vigorous amount of search. The last thoughts that had gone through Mia’s mind were what her brother told her before he had passed away. She knew then that she should have listened to her brother.
