The Boy That Loves to Draw

Timothy and his parents had just moved to a new town, so you know what that means don't you? New school, new start for Timothy.

In the last year they have moved three times because of the job that his father does. He's a businessman that travels a lot, but this time he has promised not to move again, but it's too late the damage has already been done.

Timothy has moved schools so much that its affected him, new homes and all, make new friends but this time he just wants to be alone.

He starts to draw, he really enjoys it. One day Timothy comes back from school and goes up to his bedroom. He starts to draw, drawing himself and his parents having dinner together. In the drawing he draws a monster at the window looking in at them while they eat.

Timothy's mother shouts “Timothy you dinner is ready, please come downstairs and eat”.

Timothy goes downstairs to eat dinner with his parents. While they are eating Timothy spots a monster in the window looking in at them while they eat. “Mummy, Mummy look, a monster in the window” Timothy shouts. “Don't be stupid Timothy, there's nothing looking through the window, eat your dinner”, Timothy's mother says while looking through the window.

The doorbell rings and his mother stands up and walks to the door to answer. She opens the door and screams out loud, as she screams she faints and falls to the floor.

Moments later… “Hey are you all right?”, Timothy's granddad had come to visit them at their new home, but why would she faint?..

Because she had not seen her father in years, she lost contact with him when she was younger but he had found their address through one of her old friends.

She came too and sat down on a chair, they talked about lost times. While Timothy's parents were talking to his granddad, Timothy was upstairs drawing again.

He was drawing a picture of the local woods, pictures of animals dead on the floor and monsters walking around.

The next morning on the news, there was a report of dead animals in the woods and no body knew why. Timothy didn't say anything about his drawing, he didn't see the news so he wouldn't know about it, too him it was just a drawing…

The next day was a special day for Timothy, it was parents evening. A chance for his teacher to tell his parents how well he was doing at his new school.

Parents evening had arrived and his parents were sat with his teacher…. “Timothy is doing really well, but he seems to distance himself from the other children” his teacher said and then she tells them she has something that they should see.

She shows them the way to Timothy's desk, and she shows them some of his drawings. The drawing about the monster looking through the window, the drawing about monsters in the woods and animals dead on the floor and one more drawing was there.

The teacher showed them the drawing and Timothy's father replied “We have to go, we have to go now, your father is in trouble and so too is Timothy”.

They both ran out of the school and got in their car, they drove all the way to their house and checked if Timothy and his grandfather were home, they wasn't.

They got back into their car and drove as fast as they could to the river near their home. They got out of their car and ran as fast as they could to the river. They saw Timothy and his granddad in the river and neither of them could swim.

Timothy's dad took his shoes off and jumped into the water and managed to save them both.

After they took them to the hospital to get checked out and they were both fine.

The following day on the news there were reports of kids dressed up as monsters and going to the forest and killing some animals to scare the locals. They also walked past some houses and looked in through the windows to scare people.

How did Timothy's dad know they were at the river?

The drawing that Timothy drew that made them both run out of the school was of Timothy and his granddad drowning in the river.

Timothy had drew that his granddad taking a walk round the river and while he was walking he slipped in and Timothy was there and he tried to save his granddad but neither of them could swim.

So if Timothy had not drew the drawing they would both be dead, and he saved his granddad.

But what is the talent that he has?

Is it that he can see the future and has premonitions and draws what he see's?

or

Is it, whatever he draws comes true?
