Hi there Everyone,
Is it just me or is everyone excited for the first day of A Chapter A Day!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Well, I’ll tell you one thing: I certainly am!
So let’s get started! But first, let’s talk about Aoife, our character we met last week!
There could be so many possible reasons for her to look so dismayed.
So why is she?
Now, let’s dive straight in.
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿PROLOGUE 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
It was the ninth of November, a dark dreary day. Aoife Watson was in her bedroom, strangling her stupid school tie, when she heard her father coughing on his special hospital bed in the room across the hallway.
Dad had cancer.
Aoife loved her dad so much. And as the clouds swirled angrily outside the window, she abandoned the hideous brown tie and went across the hallway to snuggle up with her father.
The only thing that mattered was that dad got better.
Eventually Aoife’s mother came in to tell her she was late for school and to ask her why her good school tie was in knots on her bedroom floor.
Reluctantly, Aoife pulled herself away from her father’s bedside, and went to school.
School was awful, (no surprise there) and on the way home, she stepped in wet cement, a puddle and a little present from a very kind dog who left it on the pavement just outside the jewellery store!
And then things took a turn for the worst, when Aoife discovered the paramedics when she arrived home.
This was not good.
Aoife ran inside to find her mother dressed in black. A grim meaningless expression plastered across her face.
“No,” thought Aoife, “this can not be happening!”
But it was. And I think I should leave out the part where Aoife goes in to say goodbye to her dad.
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
So, what do you think? Now do you know why Aoife might be so sad?
But this is only the beginning! I haven’t even started chapter one yet!
In the prologue, it was about Aoife’s relationship with her dad, but chapter one is all about her mum!
If the story inspires you, please let me know in the comments section below, thank you!
See you next week,
Orla
