Boy Notices Smell Coming From Grandpa’s Bedroom And Calls 911

Something Wasn’t Right Tina sat motionless before her laptop. For the last few weeks, her son had been refusing to go to his grandfather’s house, and she had no idea why. That day, when she dropped him off at the old man’s place, she could see the distress on his face. Something wasn’t right. She could feel it in her bones. She was lost in her thoughts when the phone rang. Tina had no idea what tragedy would follow seconds later. Shutting Himself Off Pexels The change in Tim started suddenly. Over the years, he’d always adored his grandfather and looked forward to visiting the old man. But over the last few weeks, something had changed. Tim was refusing to spend time alone at his grandfather’s place. But when his mother asked him about it, he would shut himself off to her. Dazed And Confused Pexels Tina had never been the type of mother to force her child to do something he didn’t want to, but she wasn’t handling the change very well. She had always adored the relationship between her father and son. But over the course of a few weeks, her son seemed to change. Every time he returned from the old man’s house, he seemed dazed and confused. Tina didn’t know it then, but something sinister had occurred behind her back. For Her Pexels That day, Tina simply wanted her son to give it another shot. “Please, you haven’t visited Grandpa in over a month. He’s been asking about you. Can’t you just do this for me?” She begged the pre-teen. She could see the worry behind her young son’s eyes. He avoided eye contact, his eyes focused firmly on the floor. Pushing Him Pexels Tina knew that something wasn’t right, but Tim didn’t want to talk about it. She decided to push. “Why don’t you want to go to his house anymore? Is there something I should know about?” She questioned. He rolled his eyes, irritated that his mother was bugging him about it. “I just feel ill every time I go, and his house smells weird lately,” He mumbled to himself. But Tina wanted an explanation. A Temporary Solution Pexels She pressed him again and again, asking for an explanation. “What do you mean? Feel ill how?” She frowned sadly, concerned about her son. He didn’t want to have to deal with this right now. “Look, if I agree to go today, will you stop asking me about it?” He asked, his voice tense with annoyance. Tina made the mistake of agreeing to this. Tension Pexels Tim sat quietly in the passenger seat of his mother’s car, his palms sweaty and his heart racing. He feared what might happen this time. Tina sat beside her son, aware of the tension in the air. The drive seemed to last a lifetime, but they soon pulled up to the old man’s driveway. That day was about to take a tragic turn. If only Tina had never insisted that he visit the old man. A Tough Life Pexels Tina Mayfair was a loving and devoted single mother to her only son, Tim. Living in Seattle, Washington, life hadn’t been easy for the pair. Tina worked long hours every day, trying to give her son the future he deserved. Although they were always strapped for cash, they had one person who would help them no matter what. Grandpa George Pexels George, Tina’s father, would stop at nothing to protect his family. He knew how much his daughter struggled, and he did everything he could to help her. But Tim was the apple of George’s eyes, and over the years, the two of them had grown rather close. George was the closest thing Tim had to a father, and he’d always sworn to protect the boy. But one day, something terrible would happen. His Weekends Pexels Since Tim was a little boy, he’d spend every weekend at his grandfather’s house. It allowed his mother to relax, while he got to spend some time with a male parental figure. Over the years, Tim had grown extremely attached to his grandfather, and he refused to spend a single weekend away from the old man. But that all changed suddenly one summer. Something Was Up Pexels Tina could still remember how it all started. It was the last weekend in June, and when Tim returned from George’s house that Sunday evening, she could tell something was up. Tim was disoriented and exhausted. He complained of nausea and drowsiness. Tina assumed he was getting sick, but she didn’t think much of it. Not A Big Deal Pexels Two days later, Tim seemed to be back to normal. “It’s just weird. I’ve never felt that way before,” He told his mother that morning. But neither of them thought it was a big deal. But that following weekend, when the boy returned from his grandfather’s house again, the same thing happened. Tim was sick as a dog. In the weeks that followed, something about the boy changed. Not Going Pexels The following weekend, when Tina offered to drop her son at George’s house, she was taken aback by his response. “I’m not going this weekend,” He told his mother casually as he sat down in front of the television. But when Tina asked her son why he wouldn’t visit his grandfather, he said nothing. His eyebrows were tucked together, and Tina could tell something was bothering him. Bad Mood Pexels She decided to leave it be. She assumed her son just wanted a weekend at home. Perhaps he was just in a bad mood. That weekend, she happily spent her time hanging out with her young son. They went out to the movies and even went down to the beach. Tim seemed fine from the outside but was fighting an internal battle. He Refused Pexels The same thing happened the following weekend, and then every weekend after that. Tim refused to visit his grandfather and Tina had no idea why. She tried to speak to her son about it, but he would leave the room every time she did. Tim had always shared everything with Tina, but now, he was refusing to talk about the matter. She was starting to wonder if something had happened between Tim and George. But one day, she finally learned the truth. A Dangerous Situation Pexels George had been asking Tina about the boy, but she didn’t know what to tell him. That day, she simply wanted her son to visit his grandfather, but she was putting him in a dangerous situation. He rolled his eyes, irritated that his mother wouldn’t leave it be. “I just feel weird every time I go, and his house smells weird lately,” Tim huffed. But Tina needed an explanation. Tired Of Getting Ignored Pexels Tina was pressing her son for answers. She was tired of getting ignored every time she asked him why he didn’t want to visit George. She was worried and didn’t know if something was happening behind closed doors. “Look, if I agree to go today, will you stop asking me about it?” Tim asked, his voice tense with annoyance. Tina made the mistake of agreeing to this. “Yes, if you go, I’ll stop asking you about it. On Their Way Pexels Tim was in the passenger seat of Tina’s car, his palms sweaty and his heart racing. He didn’t know what to expect of this visit. He wouldn’t admit it aloud, but he was scared. Tina sat beside him, aware of the tension in the air. The drive seemed to last a lifetime, but they soon pulled up to the old man’s driveway. That day was about to take a tragic turn. If only Tina had never insisted that he visit the old man. An Uneasy Feeling Pexels As soon as Tim stepped out of the car, Tina drove off, unaware of what was about to happen. But as Tina made her way home, she couldn’t help the uneasy feeling that bubbled in her stomach. Tim took a deep breath before stepping into his grandfather’s home. As soon as he stepped inside, he could smell that same strange scent from before. He knew something wasn’t right. Where Was He? Pexels “Grandpa?” He called as he stepped through the open front door. He was confused. Usually, George would be waiting by the door to welcome him in. He slowly walked through the house, calling for his grandfather, but he was getting no response. He held his breath, his heart pounding in his chest. But as he turned a corner, he finally found George. His heart dropped. Not Doing Well Pexels George was on the couch in a puddle of sweat. Tim’s heart skipped a beat. His grandfather was not looking well at all. “Grandpa?” He questioned with a shaky voice, but he barely got a response. George was gasping for breath on the couch. He could barely speak, he was too weak. Suddenly, Tim was reminded of how ill he felt just weeks before. He Had To Do Something Pexels Tim didn’t know what to do as he walked toward his grandfather. The old man was in and out of consciousness and Tim knew he had to do something about it. He did the first thing that came to mind. Tim wasted no time as he dialed the three-digit number, hoping help would arrive before it was too late. “911, what’s your emergency?” A woman spoke on the other end of the line. The Emergency Pexels Tim told the operator all about his grandfather and his symptoms, and by the end of it, she asked Tim to step outside. “Do you think you can take him with you?” The operator asked. “No, he can’t stand up and I’m not strong enough to take him outside by myself,” Tim admitted, tears welling up behind his eyes. “Okay, honey. Just wait outside for me, alright? Help is on the way.” But back home, Tina was having a tough time too. Worried Pexels Tina couldn’t stop thinking about her son on her way home. She couldn’t help but wonder what was going on. Did something happen between Tim and his grandfather? Was there a reason why her son had been feeling ill each time he came home? She was starting to get worried. As soon as Tina got home, she decided to do something she never thought she’d do. Security Cameras Pexels She sat in front of her laptop and started it up. Years earlier, she had installed security cameras in George’s home. She didn’t want to spy on them, but she wanted to ensure that everything was alright back at George’s home. After a few clicks on the mouse, she was able to open the footage on her laptop. But she couldn’t believe her eyes. Nowhere To Be Found Pexels She switched from camera to camera, but she couldn’t spot her son or her father anywhere in the house. She was motionless in her seat, wondering what on earth was going on. Where was her son? She tried to call him, but there was no answer. Something wasn’t right. She could feel it in her bones. She was lost in her thoughts when her phone started ringing, but she had no idea what tragedy would follow seconds later. The Call Pexels With shaky hands, she answered the phone, fearing for the worst. “H-hello,” She spoke quietly, her blood running cold. “Hello, is this Mrs. Tina Mayfair?” An unknown person spoke on the other end of the line. Tina was preparing herself for the worst as she spoke in a shaky voice, “Yes, this is she.” A Carbon Monoxide Leakage Pexels That was when they told her the heartbreaking news. “Ma’am, my name is Officer John Adams, we got a call from your son about an hour ago. It seems there was a carbon monoxide leakage in your father’s home,” The man shared the bone-chilling news. Tina was at a loss for words. How could something like this happen? How long had this been going on for? Was that why Tim always felt sick when he returned from his grandfather’s house? “Are my son and father okay?” She cried. The Hospital Pexels Tina felt like she couldn’t breathe. “Yes, ma’am. We have your father in the hospital. He suffered severe carbon monoxide poisoning, but he will be alright. He and your son are at the hospital. We have professionals in his home. They’re fixing the issue.“ Tears poured down Tina’s face. She was relieved by the news, but at the same time, she was terrified. She wasted no time before heading for the hospital. They Were Okay When Tina arrived at the hospital, she was relieved to find Tim and George in his hospital room. While George was fast asleep, Tim was there to greet his mother with a loving hug. “I thought he was going to die,” Tim told his mother. “But he didn’t. You saved him,” His mother cried, holding him tightly against her. Eventually, George recovered and the leak inside his home was fixed. Tim was relieved. He could finally go back to his grandfather’s house without feeling ill. In the end, it all worked out. Source link
