<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Suffering promotes learning.<span> </span>Jenny immigrated to the US when she was
eight years old from China. Now a senior in college, Jenny reflects on her
senior year in high school after testing positive for the tuberculin skin test,
also known as the Mantoux or PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) test. However, false
positive tests are common if, for example, Jenny had BCG vaccine against
tuberculosis, or was exposed to nontuberculour myobacteria or the TB bacteria
in the environment. To be certain, she would need to undergo chest x-ray and
blood tests. Sitting in her pajamas in her room, Jenny recalls the story that
changed her perception on suffering: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“When my skin swelled to the size
of a quarter, my doctor told me that I got tuberculosis (TB). I got freaked
out! Even though later I had a negative chest x-ray, I still had to take
medication every day for nine straight months!” Luckily for Jenny, most people
with the latent TB infection never develop into active TB disease. Nonetheless,
because TB can spread through air, it is the leading cause of death worldwide.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6349679170625431514#_ftn1" name="_ftnref" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span>[1]</span></span></a>
Under US law, any suspected TB patient is required to take free prescribed
medication for nine months.<span>
</span>“Taking the medicine was very stressful because I had to take it to school
with me and remember to take the pills secretly during lunch.<span> </span>I often forgot because I didn’t show any
symptoms.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Suffering often takes a patient on
an emotional roller coaster ride. Frustration is the first hill that Jenny
climbs. “I felt slightly out of control and angry because being a high school senior
is supposed to be fun and stress free! There was a lack of support from my doctor.
I never understood what’s TB because I only got ten minutes with him.” After
the first hill of frustration, the next drop is solitude. “I couldn’t relate
with my friends because none of them have to undergo this. And I was the only
person that I know who has showed a positive skin test.” After solitude, Jenny
then climbs the hill of worry. “I was concerned because I don’t know anything
about TB!<span> </span>I kept wondering where I
could have picked it up.<span> </span>I was
worried for my family member. My siblings are small. I could easily infect them.
So I made all of them to get tested. I also skipped a few days of medication: will
I get TB someday?” After all the small hills, the most exciting drop is the
desire for more knowledge. “I did research on <i>Yahoo Health</i> to learn about the disease and its symptoms.<span> </span>It was all down to me since my doctor
and family couldn’t help.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Accompanying the frightening ride
is the thrill of self-awakening.<span> </span>“The
experience was good because I was eighteen with college and my whole life in
front of me. TB was an upset in my life, but it taught me that life is precious.”
Suffering also inspires learning.<span>
</span>“It made me want to become a doctor, to have more control over my health.”
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Life is a ride: full of ups and downs,
excitements and disappointments.<span> </span>The
journey involves struggle, which usually transforms into personal growth. Through
illness, we gain knowledge, self-awareness, and understanding of life. Suffering
tests our inner strength and values. When disappointment stops us, we have to
change our own perspectives. Yet it is also this fear, excitement, and learning
that will prepare us for the next phase in life’s rollercoaster ride. </div>

In my best attire,
I stepped into an office with its plaque having the logo of Kmart and the
letters of Donna, the assistant manager.
The white, middle-aged woman explained that since I am a certified
national food manager, they would like me to work in the K-Café instead of
being a cashier. Desperate for
money, I nodded without giving it a second thought. Despite my eight years of Chinese restaurant experience, I
washed dishes for the next four hours with white, aged hands. Rushing back to my boarding school at 9pm, I
devoured my first meal of the day, an apple. Pictures flashed through my head competing with the pine
trees on the side of the highway for my attention. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Four
– the number of years I have attended high school. The
year began with an ill omen. Since
the beginning of my senior year, I not only had to focus on my GPA by taking AP
U.S. history, AP Chemistry, BC Calculus, and three other senior courses, but I also needed to hurry home every
weekend to work in our second restaurant, which I had helped my father transform from
a nail salon the previous summer. While
my parents were arguing about a possible divorce because of the loss of
business and debates on selling the restaurant that we had just opened few months ago, a Honda ran through the red light and crashed into us. The car accident left my
father with a head concussion, my sister and me with compression fractures, my
brother with a possible knee surgery, and one of our employees with a spinal
disc bulge. The burden of these
medical treatments became heavier, as our only family car was totaled, and most
of us did not have health insurance.
Even though my daily phone calls to our lawyer became a ritual, our hearts
were filled with glee when the restaurant was finally sold for below half
of its market price.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Four -the number
of weeks that my parents and brother had been visiting in China. In April, a three
A.M. phone call had informed us that my sixty-year-old grandfather only had a
few weeks to live. As a result, my
parents flew back to China for the first time in ten years, bringing my brother
(whom my grandfather never saw) and the remaining savings we had to pay for my
grandfather’s medical bills and his pending funeral. Because of their absence, my family also had to borrow money
to hire employees to work in our current restaurant, leaving me as the sole
supervisor and food manager. With
my parent’s promise of visiting China for only two weeks, I pleaded with my
boarding school for permission to drive home and work for more than six hours a
day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Four - the number
synonymous to death in Mandarin. On the first
Thursday of May, afraid that my sister would not have enough time to work on
her homework, I rushed back to the restaurant after two scholarship
interviews. Immediately following
the cold wind with the opening of the front door, my sister’s red eyes became
evident, as droplets incessantly rolled down her swollen cheeks. “Mother called, and grandfather just
died,” my sister explained, trying hard not to choke on the words. Boiling with rage and confusion, I
dialed the fourteen-digit number only to receive the usual sorry tone of “I
think we have to be here longer.” Frozen,
I sunk to my daily chain of thought, “What am I suppose to do with APs? College application? Restaurant? Scholarship? Graduation? Tomorrow? ...” One of the
employees with an allergy suddenly broke the silence, “I also have to tell you
that I can’t work here anymore.” “Me,
too,” added another employee. After
two hours of sweet-talking and begging, I finally persuaded the latter employee
to stay for another week with a promise of increasing wage. Competing with the clock, I called every
employment agencies listed in the <i>Sing
Dao Daily</i> to request a cook.
The next day, I would have to take the AP US History Exam in the
morning, take the practical AP Chemistry exam in the afternoon, and pick up a
new employee at 12:15 A.M. As my
tears soak the pillow, I finally closed my history book at four a.m. with a
heavy heart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
The number four
marked the turning point of my senior year. Every day, I found myself alone in a dark, endless sea
without any support. Exhausted and beaten, I float over boulders with a sole
belief that it is within my responsibility and fate to take on this test. "I can do this." I told myself. "I WILL overcome this" is now my motto. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
I was born as the second child in
my family in Fuzhou, China. Because of the “One-Child” law in place at the
time, my parents took me up on a mountain and hid me away to die, so everyone
could act as though I had never existed. A combination of accident (an elderly
woman found me after eighteen hours) and love (my parents still wanted me in
the face of severe punishment) saved me, but I was made aware very early in my
life that, to the people in power, my existence meant nothing. This knowledge haunted me during my ten
years in China, but I would eventually overcome it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
I moved to America in time to begin
the fifth grade. I was the only international student in the entire body of
five hundred kids in the public elementary school. On my first day, I saw a big
sign with M-R-S. C-H-E-S-T-E-R stenciled on it. I knew this must be my
classroom, because I held a paper showing the identical symbols. I was hampered
by memories of school in China: of desks crowded together within the confines
of dark walls, menacing with punishment; of being hit on my right palm with a
bamboo stick; blows as loud as thunder and stinging like lightning. But here I
was in a new country, with my purple knapsack, my brand new dress with Winnie
the Pooh on its right shoulder, and my shiny black shoes. From behind me I
heard, “Hi, Rona.” I felt a hug and was guided by the hand into the room, with
many students eyeing me from head to toe. I, too, stared, and for the first
time I was surrounded by this strange language. While I did not understand the
words at first, I began to realize that somehow my existence mattered to Mrs.
Chester and other Americans. I had a chance here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
I gained confidence
in myself from Mrs. Chester and others, and it buoyed me up through the
challenges that faced me. During
my sophomore year in high school, my grandfather in China passed away, and my
parents left for China for two months.
They left the family restaurant in my care. In order to keep the business running, my sister and I had to
hire a cook and plead with my high school to allow us to go home every day to
help in the restaurant. After I promised that going home would not affect my
grades in any of my classes, they relented. Every day, after all of my classes,
sports, and school requirements were taken care of, I went to the restaurant to
take care of customers. I would
work from 5 PM to 11 PM. on weekdays, and on weekends from 11 AM to 11 PM. For
two months, I was a student by day and a restaurant manager, dishwasher,
cooker, waiter, cashier, and translator by night. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
To ensure that I
kept my promises, the school also put me on the “Weekly Sheets” program, an
academic requirement for students who are failing their classes. Every
Wednesday, after all of my classes, I had to find every one of my teachers and
have them sign a sheet that said I was passing all of my tests and quizzes and
doing all of my homework. Many of my friends came to believe that I actually
was failing. There was nothing I could do, though, but keep working.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
During those two
months, the only time I had available to do homework was after 11 PM, when my
restaurant closed. Nevertheless, determination and hard work helped me to make
High Honor Roll for the first time. My restaurant’s business also
increased. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Those two months
helped me find a new side of myself. I learned not only how to work under
pressure but also how to organize my time wisely. Even though this experience
may have been the hardest part of my life, I found that with persistence, hope,
and hard work I achieved success.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to challenge myself then, in order
to become the person that I am today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
I am the sum of my experiences: living
in hiding in a land that did not want me, finding my identity in a new country,
and learning my own strength in the face of adversity. These experiences give
me the value of my life. I do not have to search for myself. I know who I am. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The
sound of the telephone echoes through the restaurant; I reluctantly drop my
book and run to answer the phone.
“Ting-Jiang, may I help you?” I say in a happy, bright tone. With an answer of “yes” on the other
end, I lean over the pile of menus in front of me and begin to take another
order. No matter how I felt a moment earlier, once I pick up the phone, I
become the happy waiter. This small take-out restaurant, in Connecticut, is the
place of my home and my past in America.
It was the second building my sister and I visited after we immigrated
to this new country. Two month after
moving to America, I began working in this Chinese restaurant with my
parents. I was only in fifth grade
and knew just enough English words to serve my customers. Because my parents own the restaurant,
my family spends more time in this little restaurant than in any other place in
the world. My father, the chef; my
mom, co-chef; my sister, helps around the restaurant; and I, the waiter; are
the only four workers in this only Chinese restaurant of the town. My little brother just runs around in
this playground of his and adds noise to the clatter of cooking, washing, and
chopping. Ting-Jiang has become the beginning of another chapter in our family
history.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">My parents bought the restaurant
from a Cantonese owner. The
Oriental Bistro, a sit-down Chinese restaurant, had opened. The restaurant before the Oriental
Bistro was called the French Bistro, owned by a French family for a year. My
parents renamed the place the Ting-Jiang and changed it into a take-out
restaurant. They also changed the
old Americanized Cantonese food to more modern Chinese food. The Oriental
Bistro looked nothing like the restaurant I know today. The soft carpets, that covered the
entire floor, are now replaced by the jade linoleum tiles. The long mirror on the right side of
the restaurant, where many customers and I often check our appearance, was
installed by my father.
The original ten white cloth covered formal tables are now reduced to
only five booths. The wall that
separates the kitchen from the rest of the restaurant was expanded three times
by my father himself. The mini-bar
that had increased the restaurant business for the Cantonese owner is now
replaced by a large L-shaped counter, which I often stand on to answer the phone
and operate the cash register. My parents placed a 24-gallon fish tank on the right end of the counter
as a symbol of prosperity. Fish
became our family’s only pet. The
following year, my dad replaced the three dim antique lights with white
fluorescent lights to save electricity.
This past year, because of declining numbers of customers eating
in the restaurant, and because of the increasing homework of my sister and
brother, my father built a wall dividing the large sitting room into two rooms
to create a study area for us. This
study area, which now became our living room, is crowded with three computers,
two office desks, an old sewing machine, and a large table that we eat our
meals at. Frequently, my parents
would get so angry at us for spending too much time in that room instead of
helping them in the restaurant, that they would warn us they will one day take
down the wall. The original large
sitting room, where I had the only two birthday parties of my life, is now
reduced to a much smaller room with only three booths.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">From a dark, formal Chinese restaurant,
Ting-Jiang has become a small, bright, take-out restaurant. Living there is an
experience that I shall never forget.
Our apartment has no meaning to us but as a place to sleep in. We not only work in the restaurant, but
also eat there, meet our friends there, and play there. Instead of anonymous
customers coming to eat food, most of our visitors are now like friends that
come for a visit. Yet for those
unfamiliar customers, we often have to wear a happy mask and become another
person. Thus, the ringing of the
telephone and the bang from the front door has sometimes become an
annoyance. Not only must I stop
everything I am doing, I also have to hide my feelings and prepare to serve the
customers. On the other hand, this
little difficulty is nothing compared to my parents’ work, working in the
restaurant for seven days a week, twelve hours a day. To my parents, Ting-Jiang
has become both their home and their prison because of the long hours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nevertheless, Ting-Jiang is our second
home after the one my family left behind in China. When people ask for our mailing address or where we live, we
give them our restaurant address.
When they ask us for our phone number, we give them the one in our
restaurant. On important holidays
such as Christmas or Chinese New Year, we will decorate our restaurant with
either Santa Claus or red dragons.
To my entire family, Ting-Jiang is not only the place we are fond of and
at the same time dislike, but it is also the foundation of our livelihood in
this new land, America.</span></div>

As ours is the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Its chef, my

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
With the sound
of chattering school children,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The screaming
phones, groaning boilers,</div>

customers pamper in the fragrance</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Of Chicken with

The members of

But my
nine-year-old brother </div>

Deep in his

Dreams of a time

Lounging for

to watch over her younger sister.
Can this grandmother, who was living under their oldest uncle’s roof,
take full care of them? Does she
treat the sisters like one of her children? Everything was fog and mist to the six and four years old
sibling. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
For
the next five years, they were always considered to be somebody else in their two
cousin’s eyes. Gone were their
parents, the sisters were left to have only each other. Harbor by their grandmother, they still
felt like beggars, as the grandmother has to expand her care over all her seven
grandchildren. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Inside
their minds, “What is future?” became the daily question. Justice was unknown to them, as their older
cousins had the right to beat them everyday, and everything lies at the plea of
the cousins’s mercy. “King” was
the title of one of the cousin while the sisters were his servants. Lost in the world, the sisters learned
earlier on how to depend only on themselves. More than anything else, all they wished for was a normal
family like any others. No other
request was needed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
On the first day
of school, they learned that the only escape and hope would be within this
building. Pouring all their heart
and effort into schoolwork, they knew this would be the only way to impress
their hosts and their unknown parents on the other side of the globe. “Quitting” became a word that cannot be
found in their dictionaries. Reducing
their world to home and school, the school became their second home. Seeing a expansion of opportunities to
their horizon, the sisters worked harder.
To them, there was always a brighter side to the world as long as one
works hard on it. Until their goal
was met, they would never give up.
Via this determination, they were known throughout the
neighborhood. “Wow. XX is so smart!” became the mark of
every corner. Yet, this was not satisfying
enough to them. Zipping through
time, one would never forget the sisters’ work ethic and strong
determination. </div>

<br />
"Stay home at all times, touch no one, and never go
outside."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two weeks after my sister and I immigrated to the United
States from China, those were my parents’ orders. A rash had covered my sister’s entire body with blisters,
and no sooner did she begin feeling better than her unbearable itching spread
to me. The chickenpox: just what
my fragile self-esteem needed. As
if it weren’t enough to be dropped into a school where we were the only
non-white students, to be suddenly illiterate in the face of a strange new
alphabet at age twelve, now my skin was covered with ugly pink pustules. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It didn't help that my parents weren't exactly the bastions
of familiarity and comfort I was used to. Before rejoining them in
Connecticut, my sister and I had lived with our grandparents in a small village
in China for five and a half years. My only contacts with my parents were
through monthly phone calls and occasional exchange of photographs. On top of
culture shock, language barrier, stranger-like parents, I now have a 4 year-old
Americanized brother whom I had only met once. All this becomes odder
when my parents ordered me to do something I'd never in my life considered:
stay home from school. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until that moment, I had never missed a single day. In elementary school in China, I had
been the class president who led fundraisers for the national children’s
holiday, led class field trips in the spring, and tutored other students. Teachers
trusted me, and students looked up to me. Yet now that I was surrounded by
blond classmates I couldn’t tell apart, and boys who pointed and laughed at me,
the prospect of hiding in our apartment seemed like a godsend. For the next week, I wouldn’t have to
keep my head low and my mouth shut just to survive another day of school,
pretending that I was invisible. I
wouldn’t have to worry about speaking with complicated hand gestures or trying
to do homework that I had no idea how to tackle. I wouldn’t have to do anything but be alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In exchange, all I had to do was put up with some physical
suffering. But the rewards were
worth it. Every morning, after my
parents left for work and my sister went off to school, I was once again in
charge—free to immerse myself in nostalgic flashbacks to life in China. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When my stomach grumbled, I cooked Ramen noodles. When my neck was tired, I stayed in
bed. And when I needed to distract
myself from the infernal itching, I dove into my parent’s collection of Chinese
videotapes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The VCR became my best friend, teleporting me to the side of
world that still felt like home.
Accompanied by the sounds of a zither and fiddles, I became Li Ling, a
student hopping and walking on a mud road to the elementary school half mile
away. The spring sun threw a golden coat over the rice fields by my side. Birds chirping, kids scrambling this
way and that, I bowed to the elders who passed me by and waved to friends
sprinting in my direction. Bidding
goodbye to our parents, we soon lost ourselves in the usual gossip, jokes, and
laughter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Locked in Connecticut, I knew these sounds and sights
painfully well. Now all I had left was Ling’s world on a TV screen to help me
forget the nightmares of my first two weeks in this foreign land. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At night, when my family returned, I became Ling. Everyone rushed to feed me, praise me,
and make me laugh despite my horrible appearance. With my parents and sister, at least, I could still pretend
to be a little Chinese princess.
The way things were going, part of me would have been satisfied to suffer
the chickenpox indefinitely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But then something unexpected happened. On the sixth day of my happy
quarantine, when most of my lesions had finally crusted over, my sister surprised
me with a present. Traipsing
through the door after school, she handed me a pink envelope. “This is from your teacher,” she
announced.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My jaw dropped. My Chinese teachers would never have given a
present to one of their pupils. On the contrary, students were taught to give
gifts to their teachers to show respect and gratitude. This was something
entirely new. Heart pounding, I grabbed the envelope from my sister with sweaty
hands. I opened the seal and pulled out a “Get Well Soon” card decorated with
rose petals and personal notes from my teacher and each of my classmates. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I immediately turned off the television and pulled out my
electronic translator. Sitting
upright on my bed, I told everyone to be quiet. Carefully poring over every
little message, I discovered that they were filled with phrases like <i>miss you</i> and words like <i>love</i>—expressions that are almost
publicly forbidden in China, and words that I had never received. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Year-like seconds passed, as my mind unfolded the latest
step in my transition from China to the United States. For a while, my
irritating blisters and dreadful, crater-like scars flooded with two streams of
tears. The card was the first and the best gift I had received in my new home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As my blisters continued to fade and the itching let up, I
realized that I had been too blinded by self-pity and alienation. My new home might have been foreign,
but it offered its own varieties of acceptance and comfort. One thing seemed clear: the time to
stay at home and touch no one was over.
My week of hibernation and physical suffering had provided me not only a
lifelong immunity to the chickenpox, but also a bridge to the next phase of my
life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
Dressed up in our best outfits, my
sister and I glanced at each other and then immediately stared back down the
sleepy street. The September wind
swept through the misty main street awaking its quite houses and trees. Seated in between us, a woman in a
bathrobe whom we once knew so well held our little arms closer to her
body. It was only after an
exchange of a nod that my sister and I drew ourselves with our empty Chinese
backpacks closer to the woman for warmth.
Yet her lifeless body feeling like the icy rock underneath made me
shiver despite of my sweaty hands.
“Mom, I don’t want to go,” I finally murmured in my native language
after what seemed a lifetime of building up my courage. My sister immediately looked into my
eyes. “You have to take the first
step,” she whispered in a soft voice.
Gazing at the cement ground, my sister and I hung our heads low while we
indulged ourselves in the pictures of yesterday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Year-like
minutes passed, until eventually, we saw a yellow box that grew bigger, finally
turning into a monster bus that was approach to hunt us down. We reluctantly straightened our legs
and waited for the yellow creature to open its rectangular mouth. As my sister and I emptied our lungs as
we took deep breaths, our sweaty hands grasped our backpacks as if they were
lifesavers. When our foreign
mother gave us a gentle push, with much effort, we step onto the monster’s
black teeth. Turning around one
last time with a wish that the woman would save our lives, I looked deeply into
her twinkling eyes, but only saw there the reflection of her hand waving us
off. Once my sister and I dragged
our heavy legs up the dark steps and stood paralyzed next to the foreign bus
driver, all the fair skin bodies flashed their blond heads to inspect us. Although my sister and I were fixed on
the spot, our wondering eyes met every blue eye until we spotted an empty seat. When we reached the distant seat,
gripping each other’s wet hands all the while, we sat and stared at the
unfamiliar woman outside. As the
monster whisked us off to our unknown destiny, our eyes remained on the fading
woman until she vanished. My
sister and I glanced at each other, and then we stared straight out the forever
street ahead of us. </div>
