" A Tragic Turn Of Event" by Sukhmeen G


                                    
One sunny day, Tyler and his family decided to take a vacation to a small town in Sunshine Drive. They rented a luxurious cabin in the outskirts of town surrounded by woods and nature. Sunshine drive offered many activities, such as carnivals, hiking, horse back riding and many other adventurous outdoor activities. On a gloomy day, Tyler decided to go hiking with his little brother, Dylan. They packed snacks, water, and other essentials for the hike and dressed accordingly to the gloomy weather. Starting their hike at six a.m., Tyler and Dylan were refreshed by the peaceful aroma the woods emitted. Tyler and Dylan went to the hiking center and got their supplies out. They raced up the hill and suddenly Dylan tripped and fell and scraped his knee. Tyler looked back and heard his brother crying he ran to his brother and helped him up. Dylan started crying and made a big scene and everyone around them raced up to Dylan and helped him up. Tyler was worried and didn’t know what to do and didn’t even have a cell phone with him to call his parents. So Tyler asked one of the people if he can use their phone.
Tyler immediately called his parents and told them that Dylan had got hurt during the hiking trip. Tyler looked back at his brother and noticed a significant amount of blood weeping down his knee. Dylan was unconscious and had to be rushed to the hospital. When the ambulance came Dylan was escorted to the ER. When Tyler and his family had arrived to the hospital, the doctor told them that Dylan has had a brain injury for the last four months. Tyler was so shocked and overwhelmed about his brother and asked the doctor if he was going to be fine, the doctor responded saying he has traumatic brain injury and was critical and could lead to prolonged coma in the future, and the doctor said he needed surgery right away.  Tyler and his family waited patiently to see Dylan after his surgery, when the doctor told them that you can see Dylan now Tyler rushed into the room and hugged his brother really tight and said “Thank god your alright I thought you were in a coma for a second.” Tyler stared at his brother waiting for a response.
Tyler started to scream and shout and yelled, “Dylan wake up”, Dylan did not respond and Tyler started to cry and the doctors immediately rushed into the room and informed the parents that Dylan had passed away due to his massive brain injury. The mother and father were in shock and looked at Dylan and starting to cry and kept repeating, “Dylan wake up”, “Please honey, wake up”. Tyler was standing on the side of the bed looking at Dylan, traumatized and could not believe that his best friend, younger brother Dylan had passed away.

This vacation for Tyler and his family will always be their unspeakable moment in life.

  2. the amount of detail used to describe the scenery of their vacation gives me a perfect image of a happy family enjoying a family outing. I love the progression of drama used in the story, everything escalates quickly and the story takes a dark turn for the worst (this keeps me on the edge of my seat)which makes it a tragic story in the end. A happy family enjoying a vacation turns into a family nightmare that may no longer be the same, makes me realize not take any moments for granted with my family and to constantly keep up with my families health.

  6. Wow! I definitely did not expect Dylan to die :( I enjoyed your descriptive diction, I was able to picture the whole story in my head. I also like your tittle, it's very catchy and it what made me want to read your story. I also agree with the first comment as well, your story does remind me of the Scarlet Ibis. Great Job! :D

  7. This story I actually brought me to tears. I wasn't expecting him to die but this story was very detailed in how I can see what was going on in every scene. I really thought your title was very fitiing for the story since it literally was a "Tragic Turn of Event". Plus it had shocked me when you find out Dylan had brain injury for a while which if the parents had known Dylan might have lived.

  9. Like the other comments, your story did remind me of the Scarlet Ibis, but I enjoyed your story because we actually know how the boy dies. That sounds a bit gruesome...but anyway, I enjoyed the imagery of a happy family on vacation, unaware of the tragedy that will soon happen. And when that tragedy does happen, Tyler and his parent's reactions are very believable and very nicely written. Great work!

  15. Whoah. That was definitely a dramatic turn of events... Your piece was really amazing, it kept me going. As I read I questioned how he received that brain injury and how long have he had it? This really got to me because I have a younger brother. I don't know what I would do If I lost him. It made me imagine what would happen if I was in Tyler's shoes. Amazing story, good job! :)

  17. This piece had brought tears to my eyes, I don't think I've ever felt this way in a long time. I really felt for Tyler and his family. This had given a shocker. The title perfectly fits the story because everything that happened was "A Tragic Turn of Events". This was very detailed and well written and I kind of really liked it more than I expected. Job well done Sukhmeen.

  19. Reminds me and many other people of the scarlet ibis (both were really good stories). This story was worth my time and i really enjoyed it. I was pretty surprised about how much damage Dylan had taken all because of a scraped knee. I did not expect him to die. You also kept me thinking and thinking whats going to happen to him. Good story :D

  27. This story really touched me. I did not expect that to happen in the end. I really love the emotion that you put in the story at the end when you were describing the brothers reaction to his younger brothers death. I also like your description and the twist on the story. It was very interesting and kept my attention! Good Job!

  31. I really got into the story and it was dramatic and suspenseful and i just loved it. I love how the story kept me hook and at the end it was sad but it was a great story. Only if the little brother survived that would of been a happier ending. Good Job!!!
