T-Bone: A Narrative Fiction

Mrs. Smith signs in the emergency room with chest pain. Several nurses rush to get her vitals, blood samples to send to the lab, and obtain an EKG. While performing an assessment on Mrs. Smith, the nurse inquires about the amount of time she has been feeling this way. Mrs. Smith replies " My sister passed away 2 weeks ago and I have been having this chest pain ever since". After the physician reviews over all of Mrs. Smith 's lab and radiology test results, he informs her that she is not having chest pain from a heart attack, it is simply the result of untreated anxiety.

It was a warm summer evening, Crate was laying down while John was working on his work project. Crate felt different, she felt ill. Her stomach hurt...a lot. “What’s wrong honey?” “I think, I think..” “You think what?” “I think my water just broke!”. He immediately shoved her into the car and drove her to the hospital. When they got there it was almost too late. She was in labor for hours. John had gotten so worried that he broke into her room and held her hand. “Why are you here?” Crate asked, “Did you hear what the doctor said?”. “No,” John said as he went towards her bed “What did he say?” Crate thought about if she should tell him the truth or not, it was too risky but, she had made her decision. “The baby~~~She’s not going to make it..”.

“So tell us the credentials about the girl.” said Larry. Chief replied, “Her name is Amanda Newell, she is 14 years old, she is the only child, and is an 8th grader at Greenville Middle School.” “Where was she when she got abducted?” said Charlie already getting his notepad out. Seeing his notepad all the rest of the detective quickly got theirs out too not wanting to miss any notes. The chief said, “Amanda was abducted a couple of meters from her house. The bus driver said she wasn’t at her bus so she must have walked to school because she missed the bus. While she was walking to school she was abducted.” “That’s all we have right now.” he added. The detectives took a few minutes to jot all of what chief said and started thinking where Amanda was. The chief exclaimed “You're not going to find anything here get outside and look at the crime scene. Also if you work as a team and find her you will split $5,000. Now get to

While driving Simone turned on the radio. They were listening when a breaking news came through saying, “Justine Miles was brutally killed by gang members during a gang fight, if anyone have any information on the whereabouts of Angelica Samuels, Tina Blackwell and Lisa Cantrell please call the police because they are wanted for questioning, if you see these females please do not approach them because they are considered armed and dangerous.” Marie cried, “No, No, No, this can’t be happening, not to us.” Angelica started crying, she cried, “I didn’t do anything, it was the other girls, Oh my God, Why is this happening to me?” Simone said, “Tomorrow we’ll take you in so they won’t think you’re running.” “But it wasn’t me, it was T-Bone.” said Angelica. “Angelica, you were with them, so if you go there first, then maybe they can help you.” said Simone. “I can’t believe all of this.” said

She pushed the button that she thought wouldn’t be a really hurtful torture. Daren got on the intercom “This should be interesting, you now have to choose between your life or your husband’s life.” “What do you mean between my life and my husband’s life?” “I mean you have to choose who gets to live and who gets to die, but here’s the twist, if you choose you, you have to kill your husband, and if you choose you, then he has to kill you.” The detectives wife’s face turned as white as a ghost. She looked at her husband with eyes filled with tears. “Baby please, I can’t do this.” The detective looked at the ground,” I think you should choose to live because, our son needs you, you need to tell him about me, you need to be the one who takes him to school, you need to be the one there for him for his first heartbreak but most of all he needs his mother.” The started crying, “ I can’t leave you, he needs both us, I can’t raise our son by myself, I need your help, we both can make it through this.” Daren walked into the room with a gun, he handed it to the wife and told her to make the right decision. She then got out of the chair and went to where her husband was sitting. She aimed the gun at his head. She then felt this sharp pain in her side. She turned and shot Daren. Daren had stabbed her and when she turned she pulled the trigger, shooting Daren. She hurried and untied her husband, her husband then untied his partner,

An hour after the moving van parked in the driveway of 406 Clybourne street in Clybourne Park the younger family waved at the van when it slowly moved away and they went inside when the van was out of view. The family worked together to put away their belongings and they stood hand and hand and they took a breath of fresh air. Beneatha went first to her room to put away her stuff then Ruth and Walter went next and Travis left to go hunt for his new room. They all left until Mama was left there alone looking out the big window. Mama gingerly stepped to the window and put her plant down smiling in thought. When the door bell rung she jumped and went to the door. At the door was a white woman and when the door opened and saw mama she flinched and said “Hello, I’m your neighbor it’s nice to meet you.” She said “I’m Susan it’s nice to meet you.” She said this slowly, deliberately like she’s talking to a foreign person and Susan put out her hand and mama did not reach for it her face was just a blank stare. Then after a while mama stammered “h-hello I’m Lena Younger its very nice to meet you.” And she reached out and shook Susan’s hand and Susan quickly took it away. Then she said “Well I just came to say,” Susan took mama’s shirt and pulled her face so close to mama’s that their noses were touching. “stay out of our way, we will stay out of your way if you stay out of ours.” She shoved mama into their brand new house and slammed the door so hard that

The child gave the detective a furious look. “My name is Jane and she” Jane pointed accusingly at the women is not my mother “is not my mother, you took my mother away from me” The woman gave a sudden loud sob, the sound echoing round the small hospital room they were in. “Juliet… I’m sorry, Jane” the detective started, getting a furious look from the child. “Do you see this picture here, that’s you when you were a baby” sliding the photo towards the child the detective pointed at the women holding the baby. “And this here is your mother, your real mother”. Studying the photo the seven-year olds face went hard, her expression turning from a desperate one into one of rage. “Stop telling lies, mum said only bad people tell lies, and you’re telling lies so you must be

A few days later, an insane woman knocked on the girl’s door. The woman was looking for a letter and tried to barge into the girl’s house. The girl wasn’t surprised at all whereas she feels no emotions. She pushed the woman who was muttering to herself out of the house. The girl called the police because the gentlewoman kept on knocking.

The questions with the investigator yesterday started out like this Jenny came and said “Mr.Ion were ready to question you.” I got up from the chair that I sat in for nearly six hours. Then Jenny took me into another room and we sat.

John Doe looks out the window and there are four police cars outside of his house. He opens the door and two police officers tackled him and read his rights to him. Vanessa, John’s girlfriend, is confused and doesn’t know what to do. She stands there at a loss of words. She says, “what’s happening?” and “where are they taking you?” John replied, “I don’t know where they are taking me.” He said, “I think I am going to the police station.”

A dark-haired woman quickly made her way up the rusty metal stairs of an old apartment complex, holding her right arm as blood continued to cover her left hand and the area around where her hand was. She opened the door to an apartment, hurried inside and closed the door behind her, breathing heavily. A woman turned around in her desk chair looking surprised to see the woman, she seemed to notice the other woman's arm since she got up quickly and made her way over to the woman. "Jaiden! what happened to your arm?" the woman asked sounding alarmed, Jaiden backed away from her girlfriend as she tried to cover her arm up more than it was already covered. "Jaiden, let me see your arm" the woman said firmly "no, Emily it's fine" Jaiden told her as she still tried to back away from Emily. "Let me see your arm" Emily demanded trying her best not to raise her voice, "it's fine!" Jaiden insisted her voice raised slightly. Emily began to feel frustrated "Jaiden!" she shouted "it's not fine! Now show me your goddamn arm!", and Jaiden finally gave up and moved her hand away from her arm. Emily examined the gash on Jaiden's arm carefully; she muttered something under her breath the said "sit down" gesturing to an old, worn out loveseat "I'll be right back. She then walked down the hallway into the bathroom as Jaiden sat down and waited for her.
