It was a Friday night and Wright, who was almost always at his law firm, Oakland and Scot, finally had enough time to cook a nice dinner at his posh little apartment. The aroma from the kitchen filled every room with the loveliest of scents from his inexplicably good cooking. Rose’s brother had many passions, but she didn’t know French cuisine was included on the list until she arrived that evening. He made a beautifully crafted French onion soup, duck confit, a personal favorite he later told her, and for dessert, a challenging, but incredibly delicious chocolate souffle was prepared. Everything was perfect. The two sat down at his round wooden table and dug into the grand supper.
“How was your day?” he questioned.
“I don’t know.”

He was an honest man and front Rose’s point of view, a quite good one, too.
“Apparently his housekeeper showed up at his apartment and it was destroyed beyond repair. Chairs were broken, bookcases and tables, were toppled, and someone had even taken a knife and cut through his mattress. They couldn’t really tell if anything was missing, but they found a whole lot of dried up blood in the kitchen. It was a real mess, that’s for sure. They don’t have any leads and nobody’s seen the guy for at least a week or two. He’s such a nice guy, it’s impossible to believe anyone would do that to him.”
“That just breaks my heart,” she mustered. Her eyes blurred for a moment and her throat became just a little bit tight. He was the kind of guy who would give you his coat right off his own back and it really upset her that something so disturbing could happen to him. Loss wasn’t a new concept to Wright or Rose, but the first sting has the same poignancy every time it’s experienced. With their father, Rose recalled the moment when his usually intent green eyes glazed over in while he was in his hospital bed. She reached over to shut them and the lack of energy surrounding his body made her fingertips feel cold and stiff. The sting she felt with Wright’s knowledge from the news brought her back momentarily to that time and she felt the stiffness crawl up her arms and paralyze her.
Rose jumped out of her state of
The large cut on the right side of my forehead had begun to bleed again; my own blood threatening to choke me. “Calm down its ok. You're going through a rough phase that's all. Try to get some rest,” was all the comfort dad could manage before choking up into tears. He turned away as streaks of auburn curls lightly brushed against me, the owner tending to my wound. Rest, he says; not so easy when every time your eyes droop, the dreams begin. They have been getting worse, the closer I become in finding a way to bring her
Claire’s was the first face I saw. Covered in tears, she clutched her mouth with her trembling hand. Next I directed my gaze towards my father, his arms firmly wrapped around my distraught mother. He held her as if he was afraid he would lose her next. The panic on their faces sent my head even further into a spiral. My vision blurred as I fell down a rabbit hole of fear and emotion. Disoriented, I stumbled over my
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.
He burst inside, prepared to drop to his knees and ask for forgiveness, but nothing seemed amiss. In fact, Fleur had a lovely supper waiting on the table – roast pigeon and mashed parsnips dotted with thick dollops of butter.
Scarlett looked down at her six year old brother who was only three years younger. She could literally feel her heart breaking just by looking at him. His face was red, his eyes were red and puffy, and he had tear marks on his cheeks. Scarlett couldn't help but cry with him.
The feeling crept up on me, slowly, a suppressed whisper, a stifled scream. Hastening my steps I approach the scene, the stifled screams turn into a wail. I shudder. Then, all at once, it stops. The white wall of sound fades as I examine the scene. Crumbling stone, painted with layers of grime, haphazard mounds of trash, what a place to be killed. Uniforms litter the pathway, bagging, tagging, and searching. Searching for that one piece of evidence that will pin this guy down. Navigating further into the alley, I come to where the victim lies, her body resting amongst the carnage. A golden halo captures a youthful face, high cheekbones protruding from her creamy skin. Lipstick still staining her pale, lifeless lips. What once had been a true mark of beauty and youth, gone.
“Adam Jones had only lived 23 years of his life and been married for 3 days. A good man has been taken from us. At this time, would Avery Jones like to say a few words?” The pastor said. Avery didn’t know how to react to her husband's death. She has gone into deep depression. Her response was, “No.” she knew that if she were to say a few words that it would completely break her heart and she would never recover from her loss. All she could say at the funeral was, “Goodbye,

Tears trickle down my cheeks as I try to convey today’s horrors. I was shaken up with what had occurred I couldn’t I am no longer with Derek as he has been moved to another home. I had never imagined in my wildest dreams that I and brother would be separated. For I may never see him again!
Pearl kisses his lips. A spell is broken. The great science of grief, in which the wild infant bore a party, had developed all of her synthesis; and as her tears fell upon her father’s cheek, they
In the center stood a pale, grief-stricken boy. No taller than my waist, he couldn’t have been any older than my little boy at home. Clothed in a tattered shirt, small whimpers came from his parched lips as I took a few steps closer to him. Small pools of blood had collected in the palm of his hands as he held a needle and ragged thread. To the left of his scarred feet lay a small, frail doll. It was falling apart at the
Wooden crutches grazed the tender skin under his arms, but he refused to sit. Pride prickled his spirit and straightened his spine and as Charlotte’s sea blue eyes met his, they crinkled with love, respect and admiration. Yet, they remained tinged with a hue of sadness that masked their shared grief.
“But… how could she have been happy, to die?” Ben’s eyes crinkled up, and he fell into his mother’s shoulder. Anna, who had been very young when her great-grandfather had died, also began to cry. The parents comforted the children the best they could, but it was the first death they had experienced in a family that had a history of longevity.
Food came out, so Percival and Fleur took their seats. Percival could not believe the incredible feast Cook had produced on such short notice. They started out with braised fennel and buttered root vegetables, then moved on to salads dressed with fish sauce. For the main course, they dined on chicken stuffed with bread and oysters. It was the finest meal Percival had ever consumed.
