text: I just recently started writing short stories, I've written a few but this is the first one I felt comfortable sharing. I know it's not the best story and my grammar isn't the best, but I'm really happy with how this turned out and I hope you enjoy it! &#x200B; I see Amos looking at his wife. She is well. They are happy, for the land is plentiful and the land is good. We’re alone I think, we haven’t seen another person in a long time. I can hear other people, but Amos assures me that those are the evil spirits. That does not matter, however, because the land is plentiful, and the land is good. Amos saw the clouds gathering in the sky, “A storm is coming”, he says. He looks at his wife and they head inside. I do not like that I am not allowed inside, but I do not complain, I owe Amos my life from when he rescued me from my burning village. Amos found me and told me my family was dead, I was confused because I could hear them calling, but Amos assured me that those were evil spirits trying to lure me to them. He grabbed me and took me to his farm, it’s been years since that day. I am not sad however, because the land is plentiful and the land is good. As the rain comes pouring down I try to open the shed, Amos has closed it. I know I will have to stand out here and wait until the rain has ceased, because I would not want to disturb Amos, and I would not want to break any of his rules. I am happy here, even though Amos does not let me leave. I always find bruises on my back after I do something wrong, but I do not remember where they are from. I am not scared, however, because the land is plentiful and the land is good. I have seen my family a few times since I came here, the first time they were in the distance and they were calling my name, Amos explained that the evil spirits had come back. He locked me in my room in the shed until he got rid of them. I still see the evil spirits sometimes, when I sneak out of the shed at night, I see them caring for the animals and tending to the fields. I am not sure what the evil spirits are trying to do, but I know Amos does not like them, for he screams at them and whips them. I sometimes hear the spirits, calling at me with my family’s voices. The voice of my father would yell most of the day, until one day it stopped. I am calm, however, because Amos has everything under control. I am calm because the land is plentiful, and the land is good. As the rain comes pouring down I try to open the shed, Amos has closed it. I know I will have to stand out here and wait until the rain has ceased, because I would not want to disturb Amos, and I would not want to break any of his rules. I am happy here, even though Amos does not let me leave. I always find bruises on my back after I do something wrong, but I do not remember where they are from. However I do not worry, because the land is plentiful and the land is good.
