I Spy - Epilogue

An epilogue to a story I had to write for english:

Charlie awoke to the sound of his mother screaming in horror. He opened his eyes, the shop was bathed in light coming through the windows. Charlie could hear people out on the street, it was morning. Charlie suddenly realized what he had heard and ran upstairs to see what was wrong with his mother. He opened the door to her room to find her frozen, staring at a magazine that she clutched tightly in her hand, a look of horror and disbelief on her face. He approached her slowly; she didn’t seem to have noticed that he had entered the room. Then Charlie noticed what was on the cover of the magazine she was holding, it was his father, naked, another man’s penis in his mouth. Charlie froze, the look on his face not dissimilar from that of his mother. They stood there together, not looking at each other, silent, for several minutes. Finally, Charlie’s mother spoke, “We’re leaving.” She said in a quivering voice.

”No”, said Charlie determinedly, “I know what I must do.” He ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the front door of the shop. He knew where his father must be, the place where he had told Charlie he went to “think”. Charlie rounded the corner and ran full pace down the main road. He ran as fast as he could, down alleyway's, past bewildered pedestrians, until he arrived at the abandoned library. He jumped the fence and ran to the shack around the side of the library, and opened the door. There was his father, another man on his back, moaning loudly. “Charlie!” his father exclaimed, as the other man pulled out and started pulling up his pants. “Wait” said Charlie softly, and he took off his shirt.
