Mother hollered from the kitchen.
Setting
etc
“Alright!” I replied reluctantly. I trudged to the storeroom. As I opened the living
room drawer, a huge mess greeted me. Peering through the dust, an old article
caught my attention. It had a thick layer of dust surrounding it. Picking it up, the
memories of an act of courage came rushing into my mind like a tidal wave. It all
happened two years ago.
Event 1 The sun shone brilliantly, the water in the pond glittered delightfully and birds
chirping cheerfully.
I was about to make a turn to my bus stop when Jessie and her minions
approached me. “Hey Mary! Got any cash for us today?” Jessie said evilly, as her
minions viciously laughed behind her.
“No.” I stuttered.
“Well you better find a way to get some!” she awfully laughed.
Event 2 While Jessie and her minions laughed, I took it as a chance to escape. One
of her minions saw me and shouted my name, but I did not stop. I continued
running. I realised Jessie was holding me by my shirt’s collar. “Trying to run away I
see.” I managed to muster my courage and shouted, “What do you want from me?”
My passionate monologue woke up the street.
Event 3 Everyone ran out their doors trying to figure out what was happening. Before I
knew it Jessie let go of my collar and several people were surrounding us. Jessie
and her minions tried to make a run for it but the police arrived on time.
Resolution It turned out that some people had heard and saw what had happened and
called the police. Jessie and her minions got caught and got thrown in jail where
their parents had to bail them out.
Conclusion “Mary! What’s taking you such a long time? Come and have your lunch!”
Eg Flash-forward
Mother’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to the present. I
smiled softly to myself as I placed the article back on the shelf. Memories of an act
of courage would forever be etched in my mind for a long time.
