Writing 1-Zacary Fitts
Zac is in his bedroom upstairs with a pair of headphones on. He hears a faint noise from behind the headset speakers. He takes his headphones off and hears a yell, “ZAC”. Zac yells back because his grandfather is hard of hearing “YEAH GRAMP?” Zacs grandfather shouts “ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS IS HERE FOR YOU” Confusion sets on Zac’s face because he wasn’t expecting any friends to come get him. Zac rushes down stairs past his grandfather and goes into the kitchen to look through the window that oversees the entire drive way to see an unfamiliar yellow car.
Zac keeps looking through the window to see what the man in the driver’s seat does, he gets out at a pace that makes zac think more defensively about why this man is here in his driveway. Zac bursts the door open with his grandfather right behind him and immediately says “hello? What are you doing here?” The man seems startled by the rapid arrival of Zac and his grandfather. He looks in shock for what seemed to be three seconds before replying, “I was told to come here to get a box of food because the pantry was out.”
Quickly realizing that this man had no foul intent, Zacs demeanor switched instantly. “Sorry sir I’ve just never seen your car before so I had to check and see why you were here. The house right next to us works with local food pantries, I think you came to the wrong driveway.” The man who was previously quite tense in his posture smiled and slumped his shoulders. He said “Sorry about that guys, musta missed it by one house!” Zac and his grandfather laughed with the man. He ends with “you guys have a good day now. Zac and his grandfather replied with a similar response. Zac went back inside but his grandfather stayed until the man started his car and began driving away. Leaving the door opened for his grandfather until he walks back into the house and then shutting it.
