There was a slight breeze, which made the softball sore through the dark night. This was the last time I would ever see my best friend Trevor. It was 6 am when my alarm clock went off. Hit the snooze a few times when my mom hollered, “Richard, get up. We’re going to be late.” So I slowly drug myself out of bed because I had a restless night.
Stroot informed management and some efforts were made to fix the upstairs shower. No repairs were made in Stroot’s apartment. The landlord stated that “the problem was caused by the upstairs tenants taking “sloppy” showers.” A few months later, on May 6 1994, Stroot called emergency maintenance because the hold in her bathroom ceiling was expanding and had become very large. It was no longer just a leak; she
MAMI GETS A JOB In this chapter the story opens up with the family preparing for a hurricane that’s heading their way. The hurricane’s name is hurricane Santa Clara and according to the radio “it was the biggest threat to Puerto Rico since San Filipe destroyed the island in 1918.” The family spent time nailing plywood against the windows and in the process of doing so Papi was going on and on about the hurricane Negi felt that he seemed worried about what was heading their way. Mami bundled clothes together bundled the families clothes, pushed her rocking chair, the table and stools, her sewing machine and the pots along with the pans into a corner and pushed them into the corner and tied them to the socles then pressed it all up against the strongest wall of the house and covered it with a sheet as if that would keep everything from being blown away. Mami had Negi take the kids to Dona Ana’s house and she and Papi would be there shortly after. She rounded the children up and unlike every other time this time when she told them to come with her they did so and they listened to the orders she gave without an argument.

I remember going to the Goosie Gander Baby Shoppe and buying the highchair, crib, rocking chair, changing table, and all the clothes that a baby would ever need.

The things that we dream of having one day are not always what the reality will be. The family’s first home was located on Loomis Street. They lived in an apartment on the third floor where the “water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn’t fix them because the house was too old” (147). It seems as though the landlord has no consideration for the basic needs the family, so they had to leave the home. They lived uncomfortably and “would have to use the washroom next door and [carry] water over in empty milk gallons” (147).
The Villisca Axe Murder House The story of the Villisca Axe Murder, is a brutal one. It has made history, and is one of the most haunted houses in America.

My family began arriving a little at a time. My sisters and mother soon made their way to the hospital. I can only imagine what they had been told. The outlook wasn't great for a 100% recovery, but I never complained. I was in a double room and my roommate, Marie, a heavy girl, had jumped off the roof of her house and shattered her knee.
The light bulb in my bathroom was out. I had my brother change it. Once done I notice that He failed to replace the light fixture over the light bulb. He had already left the house, so I was forced to finish the job. I wanted to wait on him, but not having it up started to bother me.
Amanda Nicole English1301 1/25/2012 The earliest memory I have is of moving to Texas at age 13. The day before I left, all my friends got together and took me to a movie. We watched Titanic. I remember teasing my best friend, Ryan, because he was crying at the end of it. The next day the movers finished packing all of our stuff from our two story house in Pinson, Alabama.
One medical situation that I was in and didn't really understand what was happening to me was when I gave birth to my son. My pregnancy was labeled high risk due to the fact that I had a cerclage at 16 weeks and at 18 weeks they said my son had clubbed feet.
