• *In a grey town a girl stood alone in a bleak street. Her face was plain, pale, and white no different that any other girl. her nose was straight and plain also. And her hair was black not shiny not silky or pretty but just plain black. Her eyes were gray. The girl wasn't pretty but she wasn't ugly either.She always wore a tattered old jacket. *No one ever bothered to speak to her in school and not many even saw her out of school. They never thought of her when she was there but every one wondered about her when she left. *This girl lived in a strange little corner of town next to a strange little book store. She always checked in the store to look at some books before school. *She was a writer. And if you ever saw her writing you would cry. Her poems and stories were so touching. Sadly the girl was shy and kept her stories to herself. Her stories were beautiful say things like "as I long to leave and fly with the birds and lie in a field of wheat that would sooth my aching heart". She was sad. *One day a girl named Mary was in the book store and looked out the window. she saw the girl and ran to talk to her. But when she opened the door the girl was gone. Mary told all the other children what happened. they didn't care. Mary only wished she could have talked to her, had been her friend. but it was too late. *The girl wanted to go. She wanted to be free from the eyes of the world and be the character in her poems and stories. She wanted to be free. And she was gone. talk2hand
