A Short Story Of A Story

At first, Connie felt embarrassed for her grandmother, but her perception of grandmother change to guilty. For example, in page 7, “I am so embarrassed that even though the woman next to me is shooting daggers at me with her eyes, I just can’t move to get her.” (Ortiz) When Connie talks about the woman next her is staring at her, she knew that she supposed to take her grandmother but she can’t because of her embarrassment. Another example is on the page 8, “that if it wasn’t for the old woman whose existence you don’t seem to value, you and I

The next morning when Allie went onto the deck, she was surprised to see Charleston spread out along the docks. She immediately went in search of Thomas. She found him coming out of the galley carrying a tray.

Allie could tell by the look on Eli’s face that it amused him that Jeanette was aggravated with her mother. She hoped they had not made fun of her too, while she was away. She would hate to be the butt of anyone’s jokes. However, no one seemed to be paying her any attention at all, or so she thought. When her eyes searched for and met Thomas Jackson’s gaze, she saw that he definitely had eyes for her. She smiled at him and began walking toward him, Eli, Allen, and now the Ingall’s duo.

She felt eyes on her but dared not look- she knew everyone was staring because of how Thomas had immediately come to her and kissed her. If he had not come back for her, she probably would never have forgiven him. Sensing someone besides Eli near them drew both she and Thomas’s gaze from one another; it was Christopher Andrews! Without so much as a how you do, Christopher Andrews

His grandfather, Henry Neville, was a famous novelist. Thomas will be too, one day, won’t you Thomas,” she said taking his hand. “I met Thomas when I was about your age,” Angelique was flawless in her speech and demeanor. I could see that this ‘Novelist’ was infatuated by her charms. Indeed, one could say that he was flaunting over her.

While she waited with growing impatience for his response, Melissa considered the person who now held her fate in the palm of his hand. He was a solemn-looking gentleman of about thirty. His short blond hair was carefully combed, his mustache neatly trimmed. His well-tailored suit spoke of understated wealth, but unlike her family, he carried an air of new money. Also unlike her family, a certain glint of kindness shone in his eyes; a kindness that renewed her hope and strengthened her resolve. Maybe he would be the one to say yes.

On his return to the station, he could see why she’d possibly not continued the conversation; it appeared she’d been busy, and it was with a smile on his face that, after the initial shock, Tom allowed the set of metals cuffs to fall back in to the box upon his desk, and picked up the card that accompanied it. This wasn't the first time, Lila had surprised him with a package delivered to his office - a watch on his promotion, tickets to the ball-game when his team came to town - but this one was unlike no other.

That moment of kindness, startled Ethyl; she took the offered seat. Levi looked over at them and saw two women that hadn’t said a pleasant word to each other for as long as he could

When she was younger she used to think the expression of friendly interest was just that, friendly interest, but she hadn’t been that young in a long time. She had learned to make the assumption that everyone wanted something from her and the faster she found out what it was, the sooner she could move along. She glanced at her watch.

“One of my cousins is an investor in a new restaurant near Ballantyne and I promised him I would come and check it out. He’s not one of my favorite cousins but it’s family what

“Thomas, I’d like for you to meet my beautiful cousin, Allie Maples. Allie, this is my friend, Thomas Jackson. But, you did say y’all met this

“At least you won’t have to worry about that this time- he has set you up in a nice home with servants to look after you. Now, please forgive me and let’s have a nice visit- I want to share the latest news of what’s going on in Charleston.” Although Allie tried to pay attention to what Eli was saying, her thoughts were on Thomas, wondering where he was…

Bob suddenly woke up after feeling water on his bed in his 85th level apartment. He lived in an apartment in Old Manhattan, which he had lived in since he bought it in 2039 when he had just made a lot of money from the stock market. The water had been rising ever since 2050 when it first started rising up the streets in his neighborhood. Over the next 10 years, it had slowly crept up, passing the 1st floor, then the 2nd, one floor at a time. As the water kept coming up, it would weaken the walls, and you could feel the building swaying sometimes. It was now 2061, and it had finally reached his apartment. He would have to leave for higher ground, just like all his neighbors below him. Or, if he had enough money he would leave for space. However, he wanted to help save the earth, except he didn’t have the power. He was now 51 years old and didn’t want to move. He had chosen to move to New York, because he was scared of quiet, and New York was known back then for being loud. While he thought about his life, he quietly packed up all his things into a canoe, which he had for when this would happen. He had already decided to move to the Rocky mountains because it was the only mountain range he had heard of.

The air turned black all around me, there was no one and nothing in sight. I was wandering in the desert in the dark all alone. Me and two of my friends Jeffrey and Taylor took a trip to Egypt to see the nile river and explore the desert. So we were enjoying our trip when out of nowhere a sandstorm brewed up, The storm being so hectic caused us to be separated from each other. So I am now lost and alone. Up till the storm the trip had been fun filled and stress relieving.

Mr Johnson awoke to the sound of Mrs. Johnson yelling, “Honey, breakfast is ready!” With a groan, Mr. Johnson groggily sat up and walked out of bed. He almost tripped over his feet on his way to the kitchen. “So convenient that me and the Mrs. have switched,” he muttered under his breath.
