Gathering Storm – Kenneth Tarr

“What about Mo—Selena?” “We don’t know,” Steven said. “Like we said, she wasn’t in the cabin when we found Jennifer.” Mary gave William and Andrew a tender glance. “I talked to her before the cabin disaster.” William looked at the ground and quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve. “What did she say?

How did she look?” “She looked beautiful,” Mary said. “I’m sure she misses all of you. That’s why she kidnapped Jennifer.” “Yeah,” Paul added. “She probably would have tried to grab you and Andrew too if she had seen the chance.” “I don’t think she loves us anymore,” Andrew said, his eyes full of sadness. “Yes, she does,” Steven insisted. “She’s just been led astray by evil men.”

Jennifer looked perplexed. “Do you mean she kidnapped me because she loved me?” “Yes,” Steven said. Jennifer set her mouth in a straight line. “I guess that means she doesn’t know how to love the right way because she took me away from my dad.” Steven was touched by his daughter’s words and gave her a big hug.

Mary said, “I’ll bet she’s going crazy right now, wondering what happened to Jennifer. Maybe she thinks Jennifer died in the explosion.” “That’s right.” Steven said. “That shows you how insensitive I am. I never thought about what Selena might be going through. What do you think I should do?” Mary thought a moment, then said, “You could call the Aldridge house and tell them what happened. I have their phone number on the LLDS list we made up.”

“Yes, of course.” Steven took the list from Mary and, going to the phone, dialed the number. Martha Aldridge answered the call. After explaining what happened to Jennifer, he hung up and returned the list to Mary. “I’m glad we did that,” Steven said.

It reminded him of the pools of water which trembled just before the great tyrannosaurus appeared in the movie Jurassic Park.

The picture frames began to rattle violently on the walls. He looked around the room trying to figure out what was happening. Then he realized it was nothing more than a small earthquake, similar to the one he had felt in California while visiting his sister and her husband the summer before. Still Steven was surprised. He had lived in Provo all his life and couldn’t remember experiencing a single earthquake.

His three children, who had been playing Parcheesi on the kitchen table, rushed into the living room, eyes wide with excitement. First Andrew, then William and Jennifer. “Dad, did you feel that?” Andrew said with a mixture of fear and enthusiasm. William rolled his clear blue eyes and smacked his lips at the obvious naivety of his eight-year-old brother. “Of course he felt it, stupid, what do you think?”

At twelve years old, William loved to set his younger brother and sister straight. He was into disaster movies and was constantly trying to convince his father to let him see them on television and at the local movie theater. William pushed past Andrew and came to his father’s chair. “Hey, Dad, do you think there’s going to be a bigger one in a little while?”

he said hopefully. “I don’t know. I suppose we might get some aftershocks. William, please don’t call your brother stupid.” William ignored his father’s reprimand. “Gosh.
