Daddy Lies

I asked why Daddy lies. I asked why he said that only one boy lives in our house. I asked why I lived in the biggest room in our normal suburban house , while the other boy was under the stairs. I asked why the other boy was naughty. I asked why every time the other boy did something naughty I have to leave the room and have to stop watching Sponge Bob. I asked why I heard bumping and yelling from the keyhole of the living room. I asked why the shouting suddenly stopped and all there was left was silence. I asked why he yanked open the door and pulled me away. I asked why he went and got a suitcase from the attic. I asked why he went back into the room and accidently left the door open a crack. I asked why there was red all across the wooden floors. I asked why the other boy went into the suitcase. I asked why we both left the house, door unlocked and the television still flickering with life.

I asked why we were driving up the long road. I asked why the boy and the suitcase were in the boot of the car. I asked why we went to the coast in the middle of the night. I asked why he parked outside the pier. I asked why he dragged the suitcase out of the car. I asked why he dragged it to the edge of the water. I asked why he threw the boy and the suitcase over the edge, and I asked why he let them fall into the deep waters. I asked why he just turned around and left, not looking back.

I asked why he didn't want to tell Mummy. I asked he said to her that the other boy had left. I asked why the red was gone by the time mummy got home. I asked why, five years later, a strange man showed up at the door of the house. I asked why the man left crying once he had talked to the strange man. I asked why the strange man came back once again, but this time with more strange men and women. I asked why one strange man pulled out a stick. I asked why he yelled. I asked why he told them that the other boy left years ago and never came back. I asked why they turned to leave.

I went over to them as they left and looked up at the man with a long white beard, and blue eyes that looked sad with disappointment, but still hopeful. And I broke all hope when I asked him why Daddy lies.

Why do you think Daddy lied? Reviews welcome.
