Story Spinners: Option 3

As I regained consciousness, I remember asking myself "what was the last thing i saw?" I remembered it being a bright pair of headlights. Then it all started coming back to me. I couldn't believe i was stubborn enough to walk out in the middle of the night on a busy street. I had remembered entering the street when i came out of the vestibule, then there were headlights, then i woke up in an alley.

So the next day i went to the police station to try and figure out more about how i ended up in this dark alley. Nobody had reported hitting anyone with there vehicle or seeing anyone get hit with one as well. It ended up that i left with no answers. The police said they would go to the site and check things out to see if they could come up with more info. But they could find nothing with which to blame someone with.

A few weeks after the incident still nobody had any idea who had put me in the alley or why they put me there. I laid awake at night trying to fit pieces together. I thought long and hard but just couldn't seem to come up with anything. Weeks of thinking turned into months of thinking. To this day i still have no clue who hit me and why i ended up in that dark alley.

I was walking down the street when i saw a man with a big brown hat. Walking alongside him was a brown dog. This dog was actually not brown but it had mud on it. The mud made her fur really rough. Then a boy with a red shirt came and asked if he could wash the dog with a bucket of clear water he had in his driveway. The man excitingly jumped and shouted "Yay". He said "I was hoping someone would ask." So the boy carefully took the dog to his house and placed her under a tree in his front yard. This tree almost covered the whole yard with shade with its big green leaves. The boy sat on a big rock under the tree and diligently washed the dog. When the man came to get her, he was super happy to see her black hair again.

September 11

On september 11th of 8 years ago i remember during the attack i was sitting at school. I don't remember exactly what class i was in but i know i was in a 2nd grade classroom . I remember in the weeks following september 11th the only thing on TV was the attack site on the news and stuff. I remember they kept showing the clips of the planes crashing into the towers. I think that 20 years from know we will still remember september 11th because it impacted the United States a lot. I think the terrorist decided to attack the U.S instead of any other country is because we weren't expecting it. I don't know of anyone personally who was directly affecting by the attacks. If i were to write a story about september 11th i would use a point of view from someone who was inside the building describing what was happening around them.

Voabulary Word.

That has to be the largest edifice i have ever seen. The windows go on forever.
