STORY #3 - THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
One average day, a boy named Jimmy was siting in class bored out his mind as usual. He had nothing going on in his life & really had nothing to look forward to. He stared out the window into the sky & skimmed his way down towards the school campus when he saw something sitting in the parking lot. A rectangular piece of paper. He paid no attention to it.
After school Jimmy was walking across campus when he saw the piece of paper again. He bent down to pick it up. His eyes widened. The piece of paper was a photo; a photo of the most gorgeous girl that Jimmy had ever seen. She was smiling & holding up the peace sign. Her demeanor in the photo caused Jimmy to instantly become infatuated with her & he was desperate to find out who she was. He asked all around campus but no one had seen or heard of the girl. He asked some people in his neighborhood but they also denied knowing the identity of the beautiful girl holding the peace sign.
That night, Jimmy went to bed disappointed. He placed the photo on his nightstand & admired it. Jimmy really wanted to know whom the girl was so he planned to ask some more people the next. He fell asleep soon after.
In the middle of the night, Jimmy was awaken by a tapping on his window. He looked towards the source of the tapping but only saw a shadow. Soon after the tapping stopped, he heard a giggle. He got up out of bed & went towards the window. The giggling continued so Jimmy mustered up all his courage & popped open his window. Nothing was out there; not a single thing.
He woke up the next morning & again started asking people about the girl holding the peace sign. No one in town had ever seen her. He asked his sister & she didn't recognize the girl. When Jimmy's mother arrived home he even asked her but she had no clue to whom the girl in the photo was.
Again that night Jimmy went to sleep upset. He placed the photo on his nightstand & admired it some more before closing his eyes. Later into the night, Jimmy once again awoke to a tapping at his window. He quickly rushed over to the window & flung it open. He heard some more giggling. He followed it into the night. He finally crossed his whole yard following a giggling shadow when he walked into the street.
Jimmy was suddenly hit by a pickup truck driver who didn't see him coming.
The man got out of his truck to check on Jimmy but it was too late. Jimmy was dead...
The driver noticed something in the boy's hand. It was a photo. A photo of a beautiful young girl...
