Talking Statues by Grace E

''I hate this so much!'' said the tallest member of my family. 

''We'll be freed soon.'' I said. 

''Yeah right.'' 

I tried to stare at my mother but my head was so frozen I was only able to move my mouth. Ever since me and my family had been frozen as statues 5 years ago I hadn't been able to move. I wondered what my family looked like now. My head had been frozen in a position in which I could only see the water fountain at the front of the massive shopping mall. I could hear my mother sigh.
