I Am Artistic and Creative

Mount Holly ,New Jersey ... I'm in first grade,Its the last week of school and the beginning of summer time.The world is so beautiful. My little life is so happy.I AM SO HAPPY .
I have to walk home from school .Just four blocks .18 Mitchel Terace is my house.A lot of classmates walked the same route. There was something different today ahead of me as I walked. Children laughing! Something fun! I ran toward the excitement ahead ! I ran with such anticipation I was out of breath ,and could only pant with my hands on my knees ,my long strate hair hung foward over my head as I caught my breath ,sucking gulps of air.....looking straight down at the grass .trying to regain the the strength to stand upright.....And see what all the exciement was about.
There was such excitement growing in the whirlwind of my periphery, still dizzy and out of breath I lifted my little face at last, and my little arms parted the way as I moved forward into the growing crowd like I was walking threw a tall field of corn..........And then I saw it.

Part 3 ...."A Hero Falls”.

He said " Are you hurt?" Realizing the blood on my chin I said "No thats your blood....bbbutt ...bbut" I could only blubber "The girl!" as I pointed toward the street. "i know about the girl,You got your key?" he asked. I nodded yes."Good, now stay behind the houses and run straight home and lock the door." But....what are you going to do? "I wailed. My brother replied "Just do what I told you....I'll be by directly."

"Go!" he said and I Took off running as my brother turned and walked towards the street. Of course I didn't do what he said, I stopped at the next opening between the houses and hiding, watched my brother stride threw the crowd as he took off his leather jacket.( Who wears a leather jacket in summertime in 90 degree heat in New Jersey? Only my brother.Why? (Probably because it looks cool!) "Enough! It's over enough! No more! Get out of here!" he shouted at the crowd as he turned in a quick circle looking them in the face . Shamed... they separated into little groups and dispersed. There were adults by now standing on front porches. Together we watched my brother say something to Evette. She just nodded and my brother covered her head and shoulders with his jacket and began walking her home,,where ever that was.And then all at once every face was turned skyward....following in unison an object arching across the sky,like at a football game when the crowd follows the ball of a great last second desperate pass. I could see it was a rock...a big square rock about the size of a Rubics Cube.Walking Evette the other way,my brother never saw it coming. With a sickening hollow sound it hit my brother right on his ankle.You know that round bone that sticks out? That one.There was a sharp ,no ,more like shriek of outrage and pain.... and my brother and Evette together fell to the street.
