“You can’t take them.” I reinforced my statement with a not-so-subtle stamp of my foot, and ‘Aunt Carline’ looked shocked.

“Excuse me? You forget that these children are my flesh-and-blood. You are in no position tell me who I may or may not take with me.” Carline flipped her long red hair over her shoulder, and glared at me with angry blue eyes.

“I didn’t forget. I just don’t give a rat’s a**.” I pretended I didn’t know that those three had their little heads rammed up against the wall, straining to hear the conversation. I couldn’t blame them, after all this was their aunt, and we were arguing over the rest of their lives.

Talia, a ten year old blue-eyed blonde, was probably standing as close to a planned escape route as possible, just in case we happened to walked her way. Talia always planned ahead, and was ready for any possibility, most of the time.

Garret, a seven year old ESP child, and the boldest of the three might choose to walk through the study door any minute now. Then he would pull up a chair to sit and listen, adding his own comments when he felt they were needed.

Keith, a nine year old brown eyed boy neither planned ahead, nor was confident enough to be direct. He would be the first to get in trouble if their aunt caught them. Keith had his own attributes that made him special though, like being the best on his flag-football team.

Keith and Garret were brothers, and Talia was their cousin from their father’s side of the family. Talia’s parents died in a car crash a few years earlier, she lived with her uncle ever since. I had no relation to any of them what-so-ever, and they had never even met their ‘Aunt Carline’ before.

So why was I here arguing about their future? Well, that all started a really long time ago.


Like I said, its an idea that I will never use. Simply the result of boredom. So hey, if you like it and you think you can do something with it, go for it. But send me updates.
