Symbolism
The wind echoed across the dozens of oak trees in Mya's backyard. She was laying face up in her bed. It was impossible to fall asleep, thinking about tomorrow. Mya woke with a start to the loud buzz of her alarm clock.
"Morning already?" she said out loud.
Her mother walked in just before she went back to sleep. Mrs. Williams had a knack for picking the best times to show up. Once when Mya was eight, her mom drove up to her soccer game just in time to watch Mya score the winning goal in the last ten seconds. Mya smiled thinking about this happy memory. She quickly got dressed, and rushed downstairs. Today was going to be the best day ever, the day her aunt visited from Minnesota. Mrs. Williams would never tell her daughter, but she was dreading this yearly visit. Her twin sister Wendy gave her bad vibes, ever since she had moved to that awful town in Minnesota.
Mya's day flew by, but for some reason last period was taking forever. With eight minutes left on the clock, her science teacher, Mrs. Kramer handed out mail. Mya never got any mail, so she was surprised when Mrs. Kramer handed her a blue envelope with her name on it. Mya tore open the envelope only to discover a map and a note. The note told Mya that her aunt would not be visiting anytime soon due to an "unexpected emergency." Mya was devastated. She was so excited about seeing her aunt Wendy. Mya shoved the envelope into her backpack and hurried off, just as Tim Burns picked up a map on the floor with a large eight drawn on it.
The weekend passed, and Mya was back at school on Monday morning. It was eight am when the devastating new came over the intercom. Timothy Burns was reported missing, and anyone with information should inform the police. Mya was shocked; first her aunt, and now her best friend.
Symbols-
the number eight- mystery, something is not what it seems
map- light/ hope
Wendy- darkness/ evil
