With the thunder and lightning the rains came pouring down we rushed for cover; but there was nowhere to hide. We tried to find our Book bags with our food. They were lost in the mad dash of humanity to nowhere. We then decided to head home soaking wet from head to toe from the rain. Halfway home we remembered Kite Man dashed back to find him, he was nowhere to be seen. The Back Dam was clear of all humans, only broken kites and mud puddles and stray dogs going through left over food. We finally got home and knocked on his door. It swung open with a creaking sound. We then crept into the room; it was bare. Kite Man had vanished. Worried struck now we ran upstairs shouting for my aunt and mother Gertis. To be met only by silence we now began a frantic search of the house fearing the worst. Maybe Kite Man had used his infamous knife ‘Baby Gal’ and sliced Aunt Sybil and mother to pieces? Then we spotted a note which apparently had been blown off the kitchen table. It read ‘Gone with your mother to the hospital where she is having a baby’.
