A Story Of A Short Story

She began to scream into the phone, into the roaring. She cried out, she cried for her mother, she felt her breath start jerking back and forth in her lungs as if it were something Arnold Friend was stabbing her with again and again with no tenderness. A noisy sorrowful wailing rose all about her and she was locked inside it the way she was locked inside this house. After a while she could hear again. She was sitting on the floor with her wet back against the wall. Here we finally realize that all her fears were coming true and he life was coming to an end and there was no way of her stopping it. In these moments Connie realized all that these were her last moment and the first thought was of her family and how she thought of all the time she wished. "My sweet little blue-eyed girl," he said in a half-sung sigh that had nothing to do with her brown eyes but was taken up just the same by the vast sunlit reaches of the land behind him and on all sides of him—so much land that Connie had never seen before and did not recognize except to know that she was

She was very careful not to inconvenience her father and always put other people before herself. "I grabbed ahold of his wrist and pulled him off his balance. This allowed Jonas to break free. He sprinted for the open door and disappeared down the hall. Then Brandon came for me." Haley helped kids from bullies and helped her father get help from police and into the hospital, despite risking being taken away from her father by social services.

As she hastily made her way through the long-winded hallway, the realisation of her husband being away at war suddenly hit her. The delight evident on her face swiftly turned into an expression of extreme woe. Heartbroken by the fact that he was missing this major milestone, her eyes were a waterfall, dripped with salty tears down her

Once all the cleaning was done, Legend walked Jackie down to her door, she lived 3 doors down from legend, they wished each other goodnight. Legend made the short trip back to her apartment; making sure to lock the door behind her.

Her whole world was crashing down. It what seemed like only a split second, her best friend’s father had been condemned to death. Someone who she considered to be like a father was going to be taken away, ripped away from her.

Instead of ignoring the girl this time, she raced to the front door, no longer wondering if she was a rouse of some sort. Lauren threw open the door and looked down at the girl with a white face. “What happened to you?”

“Give it a rest.” The car rumbled forward, and Rosie turned right then hit the gas.

I ran to Rhonda’s room first. It looked like a struggle had ended badly. Hannah and Seamus’ room didn’t look much different. A scream came from the kitchen.

“Sweetie? Where are you going?” I heard my mother’s faint voice call out from the kitchen. I was standing at the front door, halfway through opening it when I heard her voice. It was Oli’s, my best friend’s, birthday and her, Angelo, and Dante, were going to Las Vegas to spend her special weekend.

The sound of ruffling of a keychain was made, twisting and turning the doorknob. It was Cason who entered, a little travel sick, calmly carrying his satchel and a water bottle. He had been far from the scene of accident, and did not know there had been one. He stood amazed at Haley's piercing cry, at Jared's quick motion to screen him from the view of his daughter.

Mary sat at the kitchen table staring out the window through the freezing rain at the old, rusty mailbox. It had been two weeks since her husband had left for Europe. The war was raging on and more men were needed, so her husband had joined the war effort. His final words to her were “I’ll see you again, my love.” She had read the paper that morning, and she was petrified.

LeRoy rolled down the car window. “Hi.” He started, leaning over the passenger seat. “I’m actually just here to pick up Rachel.”
