Part 1

Part 1 came easily to me. After re-reading part 1 I realized how much I don’t like the first two paragraphs. For me the story didn’t pick up until the flashback sequence.

Speaking of the the flashback sequence. That was the easiest bit of writing in the whole series. The images came to me quickly and the words flowed easily. If only all writing was like that!

In case you are wondering, Frank and Susan are not based on anyone in particular. I just tried to think of a couple who share a deep love for each other, and Frank and Susan were the result.

Frank held Sarah’s hand as they walked through the parking lot. Sarah was humming to herself as they walked. Frank looked down at her and asked “what is that your humming?” Sarah shrugged, but didn’t stop humming. Frank knew it was a song from Sunday school, but he couldn’t remember the title. “Do you know the words?” Frank asked. Sarah stopped humming long enough to say “No” then she continued. As they reached the car Frank reached into his pocket with his free hand and unlocked the doors with the remote on his key ring, then he opened the back door and held it for Sarah as she climbed into her seat. “Do you want me to buckle you in?” Frank asked “No, I can do it.” Sarah said as she started squirming and lifting herself up trying to get the buckles from under her so she could fasten them together. Frank watched as she clicked the buckles into place. When she was finished he pushed the door partially closed so she could reach the handle to pull it the rest of the way. Then Frank went around to the driver’s side, got in, started the motor, put it in drive, and pulled out to take his place in the line of cars waiting to leave the parking lot.
