Eunice Lathem, 22, of Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan, passed away on the night of November 20th, 1955, after falling through thin ice at a skating party in her honour. Residents of the town came to celebrate the recent engagement of Lathem and her fiance, Nathan Singleton, on the cold, November night. The celebration was to be held at a nearby lake which appeared to be frozen over and suitable for skating. The party commenced at around 6:30 p.m. lasting several hours before many began to head home. At around 10 o’clock that night, Lathem and her younger sister Delia Sykes were seen venturing out into the east bank of the lake. At approximately 10:05 p.m., several witnesses recalled hearing cries for help. “There is a place in that bank where …show more content…
The night was dark and I couldn’t see the girl’s faces. All I could do was grasp the nearest pair of wrists and pull.” Singleton recollected. “It took all of our efforts” another resident, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “though we were able to save only one”. The men who arrived to help were able to drag Sykes back to safety. “As we were doing it,” Singleton stated, “The ice broke beneath our feet and the second (Lathem) went under.” Onlookers did not realize that Eunice had fallen through until the hole became illuminated by the moon. “We went back to the hole, but Eunice had vanished. There wasn’t any way we could get her body” Singleton concluded. Will Singleton, Nathan’s brother, also attended the event. “It was an awful thing to have happen on our place” he said. “My brother was a hero who risked his life though there was no way on earth he could save both girls. All I know is that he will never fully recover. All that the town can do at this point is try and prevent this from happening again.” The Willow Bunch funeral home and the Lathem and Singleton families have organized Eunice’s funeral to take place on Sunday, November 22nd and her name will always be remembered on a gravestone in St. Chad’s parish. All are welcome to
These losses really hit Nathaniel hard. He had hoped for an idyllic ending for Wendy, their child, and himself. He had thought they would “fly to the Virgin Islands and raise the kid on the beach” (Boyle 89). In his mind, they were going to be a happy family and live in paradise. After

I look over at Caleb and see that he is unconscious, with blood rolling down his forehead from a shard of glass that hit him when the back windows exploded. Suddenly I hear a loud scream. Sirens, making a noise so blood curdling, like a symphony of women screaming at the top of their lungs. It reminds me of that day when I was eight, except this time it’s my brother who I am hoping is okay, not Tina, who I knew wasn’t going to make it.
I asked her what in particular like to know. She will provide to me tombstone photo to me to verify his birth and death dates. I spotted his name and dates 1910-1946. Tasha tree dates slightly different 1911-1950.
He inhaled deeply, standing next to the seamstress, gazed up at his sudden fate. One. A wasted life, he had explained, a wasted life that soon would never see the light of day again and sink into the grave, but a trace of significance would be left throughout his bones. Towering over all six carts, fifty-one souls and one faux Evremonde, the sharp female heisted the hundreds of eyes, and pinned down all chance of escaping the fate. Ten. It was at the eleventh-hour, and he could not abandon his sacrifice, but only accept what this wasted life could now achieve. It could save the life of the one man he resembled but desired to be and in parallel, save the life of Her- the only one capable of giving him a purpose. Although gruesome, the sharp

One night, thoroughly past her bedtime, Georgiana crept stealthily downstairs to sneak a bite of pie, even though her mother would never approve. She immediately realized a heavy drape of desolation. The only noise was her heart beating to the rapid rhythm of the twitching fan. Georgiana thought that no one would be awake at one in the morning. She slipped through the doorway into the kitchen. For an instant, her heart stopped. A dreadful sight stood in her way. An innocent and isolated individual lay with his hand grasping for life, but it was already over. Taking a step back, she
Nick’s lack of emotional response and the brevity of the description of the town seem to downplay whatever tragedy had befallen it, perhaps making it seem to not be a tragedy at all. While the cause of the fire is not explained, Nick comments on how it had happened within the previous year, but does not ponder the causes or even the effects.
“I was hoping that at least three of you would have made it this far.” The man picked up a tool from the table and rubbed his finger against it, getting the blood all over his hands. It was a knife. He looked up at Cameron, the man sitting in front of Dom. Cameron managed to whimper. The man took a step towards him, raising the knife slightly. Cameron started shaking, and his remaining eye opened wide. The man smiled widely. “Oh! I almost forgot!” he said. He stepped back outside the room and returned a few minutes later, lugging a man over his shoulder. He dumped him onto the ground, and the man immediately started
Isaac couldn't even begin to understand what really happened, despite it happening to him. He looked at the girl, who remained on the ground. She looked Isaac straight into the eyes, not saying a word. Isaac continued to look at her, wowed at how beautiful she was. He didn't really notice her appearance from afar, though she still had many bruises from Ajax. Getting up off the ground, Isaac slowly walked towards her. Walking almost felt impossible, but he did his best to fight through the pain. When he reached her, he helped her off of the ground. She was barely able to stand, but she managed to keep her on her feet, by holding on to him
