The Christmas Nightmare
By Christopher driggers, 10/16/19 English 4
It was a normal day in December in the little town of jamestown., So everyone thought! Everyone was preparing for the Holidays buying gifts decorating christmas trees.Everyone except for 15 year old little Johnny,Johnny was an orphan who hated the holiday seasons because he had no family to celebrate it with and the townspeople looked down at him.Johnny just wanted to feel loved by someone but he felt no one cared about him or whether he lived or died so he thought of a horrible plan. One day Johnny was thinking about how horrible he thought his life was and decided to run away from the orphanage to find a better life somewhere else.Johnny decided before he would leave town he would make sure the town would suffer for letting him stay in the orphanage.As Christmas approached and everyone was singing Christmas carols drinking hot chocolate., Johnny was plotting his revenge on the town for everything they put him through all the nights he cried he just wants someone to love him but all he got was hate. The night before Johnny breaks into a house through an open window and found a gun which he will use for his revenge. then he went on to find more ammunition for the gun.Tonight's the night of the Christmas tree lighting. Johnny is going to execute his plan tonight, so he packed his bag with the gun and bullets and a gas can.At this point, everyone is gathered around the Christmas tree singing and drinking hot chocolate. It was joyful but for many they didn't know this would be their last night alive.As the night continued, the mayor and police chief ran into each other’ they had a short conversation .
- Tonight sure is a cold one mayor. -Yes indeed sir. -There's a ery feeling in the air tonight. -yeah it's too quiet.
Little did they know the quiet little party was about to be filled with screams and cries for help as johnny's plan is about to reveal itself. Johnny first poured gas all around the tree and then loaded the gun and set the tree on fire. People started running as Johnny started shooting he shot his plan in full effect as he's shooting he has tears rolling down his face to make it worse Johnny hears the screams of kids trying to find their parents or crying from the pain of the gunshot wounds johnny wants to stop but his inner demon won't let him and he continues the killing spree. Suddenly there's sounds of two guns the police chief is shooting at Johnny ‘‘ahh johnny screams as he grabs his side he’s hit’’ After Johnny has already killed more than 5 innocent people, he finds
himself on the cold ground dying with a bullet in his side.As the tree burns a clock hits twelveOclock. Johnny passes on Christmas morning.Before Johnny died he laid there and thought to himself, was it all worth it and began to cry.
