he cold January Breeze blew across a blossom filled floor, gently blowing the flowers round the
damp soil. The sun was setting, lettings its last rays of light dance across the mossy fence. By the
fence, stones carved carefully placed in neat rows. A figure stood in front of one of these stones.
Bending down carefully, she placed a bunch of white flowers along with a crisp envelope. A male called her
from outside the fence. Lingering for a moment, she looked at the stone, about to say something. After
arguing with herself, she decided against it and spoke nothing. She kneeled down and traced the faded
words on the stone with her finger. She closed her eyes, as if reliving moments from the past. Finally
stepping up, she walked away.
Without looking back.

Loving, Kind Sister
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rina sat under the old wooden bench, staring off in the distance. The memories still seem so fresh to her,
it’s like she lost her yesterday.
“Big Sis, Big Sis!” a girl cried.
She choked back a sob. Is it possible? Is it possible that she came back?
“Where were you? I’ve been looking for you!” an anxious girl, obviously the older sister asked.
“I went off, off on my own to follow a puppy!” The younger girl blubbered back
“Don’t do that anymore, what if bad people caught you and held you hostage? I’ll never see you again”
“I’m sorry, Sissy! I’ll never do it again!!!!
The elder sister reprimanded the crying younger sister, wiping her teary eyes on a lint covered tissue. When
the last of the younger girl’s tears are gone, she gently smiled and took her younger sister’s hand.
It was unbearable to see the flashbacks appear again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Sissy! Sissy! Where are you? Where did you go??? ” A crying girl sat in the police station. Her eyes were
completely blurred by the big tears that have formed. Face crumpled, she kept crying, hoping that her sister
would find her.
A police walked over and questionably looked at the small kid crying on the bench.
“What happened, partner?” He asked.
“The little girl, she wandered in saying that she lost her sister” his partner, another policeman answered.
“Did you find her sister?”
“Not yet, but the little girl has been here crying for almost an hour-“
“-XINA!” a voice bellowed from the doors. There she was, soaked from the bone. She had been searching
for her sister all this time, the shock she had when she found when she lost her sister. Just like the little girl,
she had been crying nonstop for an hour. In her hands, she held a worn down plastic sheet.
“Siu Xina!” Rina choked down her own tears. “Do you know how worried I was? I WAS WORRIED
SICK ABOUT YOU!”
