"The Locket"
Hello again, yes today is Sunday November 11, 2012 a very gloomy day. I have been working on a paper and put my writing off for a while.
I have a friend who I will send out a gift after Thanksgiving and hope she will receive it before Christmas.
Have you ever felt like you just need someone to talk to, well today is one of those days. I have been busy taking care of people all my life and I hope one day to do save some life for me. I have always done my best to help others and work and keep the faith and love for all mankind.
One day there was an old woman her name was SallyBelle. She was near the age of 80 but she still had a good mind. I really enjoyed listening to her and hang on every word about all the things she done when she was young. She is a wonderful story teller. I would go there everyday to listen to her talk and tell things about how her life and how it had changed over many years. I was only ten years old but it was a big part of my life to visit her. I will never forget one cold day in March I walked over to Sally's house to vist, it was than I noticed a black hearst sitting in the driveway. There was snow on the ground it was cold and near noon day. Sally lived in a huge house and it was filled with so much beauitful furniture. Sally always wore a necklace around her neck. She was a petite woman she was frail and she lived with alone except for her two newphews who were never home. The story is complicated about Sally but I figured it is worth writing about.
When I finally arrived at her doorsteps they were bringing her cold body out to load up in the hearst. I was upset and I kept asking the two men in black what happened to her. They seemed to ignore me. They hurried and left as soon as they shut the door. I stood there with tears streaming down my face. I looked around to see if there were anyone who could tell me what happened to her. I ran up to the door and knocked and when I did the door opened. I stepped inside and there stood both newphews with a grin on their faces.
I managed to ask them what happened to Sally, they both answered at onnce. She had a heart attack, at her age she was bound to go anytime. I looked at both of them and clinched my fist. I started to turn and walk away when one of them asked me a question about her necklace she wore around her neck. I shook my head and kept walking, they wanted to know if I had it. I pertened I did'nt know what they were talking about. Little did they know Sally had give it to me just a few days ago. She told me to tell no-one and she made sure to tell me to never tell her newphews. I often wondered why? It was a pretty necklace and it opened up, it was a gold locket, I had never tried to open it, I figured when I got home I would see what was inside. I thouht no doubt it was a nice picture of her when she was young.
I started to walk in a faster pace and then I started running till I finally made it home, I hurried to my bedroom to get the necklace. I sit down on my bed so I could open up the necklace to see the picture inside. I slipped the hook open and it popped open and what was inside was a great surprise. It was no picture and it was nothing I had ever seen before in my entire ten years. Wow it beamed when I opened it and then something else happened. There was a small light shinning inside it. I hurried and turned off my bedroom light, and what I seen next was simply amazing.
I felt the strength of this small locket pull me almost inside of it. I became frightened and closed it back up. I thought why would Sally give me something that would scare me or hurt me. I knew better than that. It was more precious to me then anything in the world. I remember the letter she gave me when she gave me the locket, she told me never to read the note till the day she left this world. I promised her but now she is gone and it was time for me to read it.
