Day 1: a blast from the past

I duck behind a thick green bush as three men in dark blue uniforms pop out of a small clearing, and pull away my now dead father. It takes me a moment to realise that if I do not scream out to these men, that the flesh and body they are holding is the only person on the univers who knows who I am, and with out him I will just be stuck in this big forest all alone for...well...life! knowing me, I do not jump up and say what i'm thinking. I just crouch in an uncomfortabl position morning the death of my father, as I watch the men drag him away. I have not yet let my self go over how my dad has died because I am wanting to put my full atention to it. So right now i'm almost as clueless as you are. I think it is time for me to go over how I got in these woods, and of corse how my dad died. I will start with the forest. My mom, my dad, my baby sister Annabell and I were taking a camping trip for my mom's birthday. We set up our big green tent. Suddenly, my mom's phone rang "ding!ding!" she picked it up, and ansered it.  "Hello" she said. Even though the phone wasn't on speaker, I could hear the voice clearly"oh...well...hello. Have you orderd a ufo." Mom hung up the phone, fast. 'Who was it?" I asked. "oh...probobley a pizza company." Mom ansered. Suddenly the phone began to shake. My mom began to shake, Annabell began to shake, and then I began to shake. I tried to steady my self but I just keped shaking. Finaly I realized what was happening. My mom was geting eletricuited by the phone. Her hand was clasped around Annabell's stroller handel wich eletricuted Annabell. My hand was wraped around the handel too, wich also eletricutied me. I pulled my hand away from the stroller and shoved it into my pocket. "Mom!" I screamed. I was going to tell her to drop the phone, but it was to late. My mom and my baby sister had been over come by electricitey. I fell into a heap on the forest floor and I tried to cry, very hard, but, nothing came out. Not one singel tear. I heard deep wimpers from behind me. My dad! My dad was still alive! Someone to hold the hand of! Someone to push me through this deep ditch of saddnes. Suddenly I screamed "The Doctor! We need to call the Doctor! We both saw a flicker of hope. I reached for Mom's phone wich was next to her body, but dad stoped me "Don't go near that phone Saphire!"  "Fine" I said and I ran for the car hopeing to find a Doctor. Dad tried to start the car "It's out!" Dad grumbled. For the next 5 days we lived in the big green tent. We lived off of  berrys and animals. One day Dad went hunting. And I stayed next to his side.  He would not trust me alone at the tent.  I heard something unfamiliar in my ear. I looked up at dad and said, "yes," thinking that he had said something to me.  He smiled at me and just kept walking.  I heard the unfamiliar sound again, but this time I heard that it was words.  It said, "do not move or i will shoot." I realized something was pressed against my back.  I stopped dead still.
