ARIANA`S
He ran away from
his bedroom in the middle of the night and headed towards wherever his heart
guided him. He somehow ended up in the middle of a cornfield in the
countryside. There was a slight breeze but the weather was calm, and the
temperature was perfect for a summer night. It was so quiet that you could only
hear his heartbeats. Everything was calm until he unleashed his frustration and
shouted. (By Ariana)
He was sitting
there, just admiring the moonlight of that summer night and something with a human
shape began to appear. It was his father. Brian was frightened because he did
not recognise who it was, so he started running away from him until he heard
his father's voice. When his father said "Brian, stop! " Brian turned
around and started running very fast towards his dad and hugged him. He had not
seen him for years, because he was serving in Iran, and he killed General
Soleimani.
(by José)
Brian had been
waiting years for his father's return, he always dreamed about this situation,
in an idealized way, just showing out the good things of his father.
After the
surprise, they went back home and served a passion fruit tea flavored with wild
spices. Brian wondered why it had taken so long for him to come, but his father
did not seem as receptive as Brian expected, something was wrong, something was
strange.. (By Hugo)
After a long
conversation with his father, Brian was not totally convinced about him, he saw
something strange on him, he wasn't the same as he used to be. Brian started to
ask him questions that only his real father could have answered, and the
apparent father responded wrong, suddenly Brian realised that he wasn't his
father, so he ran away from the house while at the same time, this mysterious
man took out a gun and followed him.
(By Pablo)
Brian run into the
Woods, it was dark and he couldn't see anything so he tripped over some
branches, hit his head and fell on the ground. When he woke up he found himself
attached to a chair in the middle of an empty and strange room. For a few
seconds he observed stunned what surrounded him: four brick walls, a door with
no handle and a small tray containing a glass of water and a slice of bread.
Suddenly the strange man from which he had run away before, opened the door,
headed to Brian, untied his hands and told him to eat. (By Isabel)
Brian was scared
and did not know if it was a trick, maybe the food was poisoned. But the
strange man looked at him and told him to eat again. He was afraid and hungry
so he decided to take a risk and eat. Brian wanted to have answers to all his
questions. However, he thought it would be dangerous to ask the man as he could
get angry. When Brian had finished the bread and the glass of water the strange
man looked at him and said “What do you know about Elijah Hanks?”, Brian did
not understand why he was asking about his father. By Sofía
So Brian just told
him he hasn't seen him for 6 years now. He thought he was lying so he slapped
his face. Brian started shouting and crying. The man told him " I'm gonna
ask you again the question, while you think about your answer I'll present
myself ". "My name is John Hanks", Brian looked at him
surprised, that name was familiar to him. " I'm your father's old
brother", that's why he looked like Brian's father. After this Brian asked
him why he was here if he was supposed to be dead.
By Moe
To what John
replayed “Your father and I were planning to start a company together ,6 years
ago ,everything was going according to the plan ,we both invested on the
company ,but then your father scammed me . When I tried to report him to the
police he tried to kill me , he thought I was dead ,everyone did ,and now 6
years later I’ve come back for my money and my revenge” Brian was so confused
,he didn’t know if John was saying the truth. By Roxana
In typical movie
fashion, John started explaining every single detail of his plan to poor Brian.
Brian had so many questions at the moment, how did he end up like that?, was
his dad who he thought he was?, was he going to die at that moment?. None of
these questions had a clear answer, except the last one, as John told Brian he
was not as useful as he thought he would be, and shot him in the chest. By Pedro
Brian shouted,
then he turned his head down to look at his chest. His brownish t-shirt was now
bloody. He put his hands on the orifice to stop the flow of blood, but at this
point, he had lost enough blood to faint unconscious to the ground. John stood
up and called an ambulance, he just told them the place but he didn't mention
who he was. He opened the door without touching it while he took his car keys out
of his pocket. By Ana Pérez
Brian was carried
by an ambulance to the hospital, but he had lost too many blood, and he was in a
medically-induced coma for three days. Unfortunately, it had been too late for
poor Brian, and he died, being buried two days later in Charleston Cemetery.
Brian died with neither testament or known descendants, so there was a dispute
over his property in Manhattan. By Miguel de
Perosanz
While all this
events were happening, Brian’s father was returning home with his family, but
he took more time than expected because he returned home through boat because
they were scared of Iran, that could send them a missile because of killing
Soleimani.
When he arrived
and he discovered that his only son was dead he fell in a great depression. As
he was a very important militar, he appeared in the news, so Elijah noticed it
very quickly. By Gonzalo
John had no idea
of who would have killed his son, so he went to the crime scene. The police
told him they hadn't seen anything strange, but that were going to do an
autopsy anyway. Elijah was devastated and went home, he drunk until he fell
asleep. The next morning, a call woke Elijah up, they found something strange
during the autopsy. There was a note in a capsule in Brian's stomach, it
stated: "Welcome back,little brother". By Andrés
He flipped the
piece of paper and on the other side some coordinates were written. So he
decided to go to that location. It turned out that the place in cuestion was
all the way in Japan. He took a flight there and when he got to the little
village the coordinates referred to, he couldn’t imagine what was going to
happen. Manuel Ruiz
After all the long
journey to Japan, he was really tired, so at first he thought he was dreaming
but after one or two minutes trying to believe what was happening at that
moment he pinched his arm to prove that he wasn’t having hallucinations,
because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, his brother who was supposed to
be dead was there,standing in front of him. Elisa
Elijah was sure he
had murdered and buried John. He couldn't understand how that was possible.
After some minutes watching each other, John explained that he had been rescued
by Anna, Elijah's wife, who had betrayed him. As he said that, she appeared
behind Elijah and stabbed him with a dagger. She didn't kill him, she only
weakened him in order to make easier the process of kidnapping. Jacobo
After a couple of
days sleeping, Elijah woke up in a weird room. It was kind of small and
completely white, with just a small bed in the middle and apparently a hole
with bars in the top of the door. Not a while after he woke up, Anna entered in
the room followed by a soldier whose face was cover with a mask. Laura
Elijah thought he had dreamed everything which had
happened next until the couple entered in the room. He couldn't look at his
wife face. He knew that their marriage hadn't been easy, but he never thought
that she was able to kill her own son. He was worried when he didn't Anna in
his house when he arrived back home, fearing she was prisoner of Brian's
murder, but she was an accomplice. Unless she didn't knew about it… By Javier
John didn't tell Anna about Brian's death so Elijah
screamed her to watch the news so she would know that the person she was
working with had killed her only son. After that John knew she would be a
problem so he also trapped her in the room with Elijah. Sergio V
John had both of them secured with a Yakuza
traditional system which was impossible to hack.Little did John know what was
going to make Elijah. When he had been out of home, he had some contacts with
FBI agents, so with a single phone call, he would have the entire FBI under his
orders. He asked his brother to go to the bath, and phoned his colleagues. Nicolás Bagur
After that Elijah phone call, some sirens from the FBI
cars began to be heard, getting closer and closer. Until John realized they
were there, at his house. He didn’t know what to do, his nerves did not allow
him to move, so all he did was take out the gun and shoot Elijah, but he took
aim. Then an FBI agent came in and threw himself at John. Ana Baños
But it was too late, Elijah Hanks had passed away.
John got taken down by six FBI agents, and he was found guilty of the murders
of Brian and Elijah Hanks, and for other crimes. He was sentenced to death
penalty, but he did not care, he had finally got revenge on his brother, who
had causes him all this pain and suffering, he would die a happy and
accomplished man. On the other hand, nobody knew where Anna was. Carlo Cabrera
She’d managed to escape the whole ordeal while the FBI
agents were detaining John and attending Elija’s wounds. She ran to the
cornfield where she knew her son Brian would go when he felt suffocated by the
burdens of life. She laughed to herself at the thought of him believing that
his midnight detours would go unnoticed by her. Anna’s soft chuckles were
followed by mournful cries. Her rage towards her husband when she found out
about his attempted murder had made her irrational, and she never though for a
moment that Josh would dare to envolve her son. She hated herself for her
imprudent actions. Alexa C.
She didn’t felt comfortable being herself
anymore, she wanted to escape that horrible life so she had her name changed to
Riley Reid and moved to Florida where she met an insane and young man who
changed her life, his name was Gazzy Garcia. They started a new family and
Gazzy found a work in a discography which made them extremely wealthy. Happy ending :) -Stefan
The beginning of the story is very moving and intriguing. Brian is a vulnerable character, making it easy to empathise with him. The story becomes more and more gruesome, and what I thought to be an untouchable protagonist, is killed. The focus radically changes from the boy's dissatisfaction with family life to the actual causes of their distaste towards each other, all related to betrayal in some capacity - Elijah, who took advantage of John and stole from him during business affairs; Anna, who cooperated with John; and of course, John himself, who took revenge upon his brother by killing his son, betraying his ally, Anna, in the process.
ResponderEliminarThe story is cohesive and doesn't leave many plot holes, so there was an high degree of cooperation. And despite being so grim, it ends on a positive note (mostly).
