A Short Story writing - Improving Writing Skills

Here we start:Story begins

Carrie Allen took a deep breath and sat down on the couch in the drawing room next to Brad, twin brother. She knew their father going to give them a bad news. She glanced at Brad who shook his head. He appeared just as shocked as she was that their father had called them into the room. Their father sat in the chair across from them with a serious look in his face.She didn't want to hear what he would say next but knew she didn't have a choice. She was aware of the ticking the grandfather clock in the corner of the room as she waited for him to speak.

"Brad, Carrier, that isn't easy to say", Their father paused. "I am bankrupt"...................................

Take your time try to bring the best out of you try to finish it within a week so that we can move on to other stories........................

Story should not be more than 700-800/600-700 words as you know Readers love to read the short one...............

Here is my share to your story Garima.

"Brad, Carrier, that isn't easy to say", Their father paused. "I am bankrupt"...................................

“What! Bankrupt! What we are going to ddd……! There was echo of these phrases when Carrie repeated the same second later. But none of them found courage to complete their exclamation when Brad and Carrie saw the glittering stars about to break down from their Pa’s eyes. They both shuddered to see the dejection in their father’s eyes.

They both at once stood up and rushed to their father. “Papa, it’s okay.” Brad circled his arm around Papa’s neck and so did Carrie, “Yes, Papa, it’s okay, don’t get up set.” Carrie said kissing him and caressing his shoulder.

“Tell me Papa, what were you when you started this setup?” “What do mean? Of course it was not much, besides I started my career with a job and I was nothing at that time.” Papa said in a very soft voice.

“So you are nothing now! Let’s start it from nothingness again, you can get job as advisor or consultant.” Brad tried to console his father.

“Who is going to hire a broke, who could not even keep his own business intact?” His was still shaking.

“Oh papa at least you can advise them not to repeat the mistakes which you did in your business.” Carrie said with a smile but damp eyes. “We have confidence in you Papa. Just take a break for a while then look for a job or plan to set up your own Consultant and Advisory, work. Do we still have this house or …….”

“No, we still have this house.” His father immediately said. “So, sell it!” Both brother and sister said, “We can manage in a smaller one.”

“Papa, you have not to worry much about us,” Brad again said with confidence in his voice. “I can get a part time job, Mr. Jim number of time asked me to look after his accounts, I will see if the offer is still valid. I am sure it is.”

Carrie said, “Papa my university will provide me some job to so that I would continue my education. We will easily be able to meet out both ends Papa! And we are sure this hard time will pass.”

Carrie and Brad felt relaxed seeing their father began to shine once again. He stood up, “I am now able to face this hard time with standing tall, having you kids besides me. Let’s begin life once again.” Carrie and Brad stood beside their father who was once again feeling strong.

The theme came in my mind just after I read your portion. Just some preoccupations and hot weather hindered me to put it in words.
