WRITE
Look at the pictures and make up a short story. Write your story using verbs in the
past.
 People came and went through the crowded streets stuck in their own world,
oblivious to the person on top of the tallest building in the city willing to do
anything. That person is me, someone without fear that death would take
her away, because she had an overwhelming sadness that completely
encompassed her, consuming her, possessing her and driving her to be one
with her soul. When they noticed the stranger at the top, it began to fill with
strangers who silently wondered what would lead a young girl to make such
a decision out of place, at a time like that there were even some who
encouraged her to push herself into the void. Within all this sea of people I
saw my mother's eyes, empty and without emotion, begging me with her
eyes not to do it, but there was something that I knew and that the strangers
around me were ignorant; I approached the edge of the great building ready
to end the circus I was riding, but my mother, seeing this, ran in a hurry in
my direction, however, her eyes played a trick on her, making her believe
that the traffic light was green when it was never really like that. The last
thing she was able to observe was a car coming in her direction and without
giving her the option to react, she ran over it. her life was about to run away
and the people around us screamed in horror and amazement, some came
to her aid, others were stunned at the bloody scene because she was
covered in a pool of blood where she retreated and screamed in despair,
pain and anguish, in the distance the ambulance sirens were heard. I smiled
for having met my goal and I voted without a doubt for the tall building
without fear of anything. far away but at the right distance to observe
everything, a person stood proudly looking at the work she had done with
the two women posing as what she really was not.
