Jubilee Glee Short Story

Her experience of Christmas was miserable because they were the minority and everyone else celebrated it with excitement and delight.…

    By contrast, Noah simply stood under the hot water, letting it roll off his flesh in beads. He was seventeen and scrawny; a caricature of an adolescent misfit who, like Carrie White, looked the part of the sacrificial goat. His long wet hair hung in messy strands, obscuring his face and neck until all that could seen was a thin slit of pale flesh and two sunken-in eyes void of any emotion.…

    I feel extremely responsible for the horrid tragedy of what had happened to that young lady. On the other hand at the time it took place I was in a furious temper; I had tried on this dress, and well.... it just didn’t suit me at all! Then the girl- had tried on the dress as if she was wearing it. And it just suited her. She was the right type for it. She was very pretty too- with big dark eyes. I caught sight of the girl smiling at Miss Francis- as if to say, “doesn’t she look awful”- and I was absolutely furious. That is when it all happened. I lost all sense of what was right and let anger and jealousy fill me up to the direst cruelty. I said without second thought of consideration to the manager, “this girl had been very impertinent”. You see it didn’t seem so bad at the time. She was pretty and looked as if she could take care of herself. Well now I know well- ‘never judge a book by its cover’. However now it is too late! I cannot even go back to say, “sorry Eva Smith”, never mind helping her, thought if I could now that I know the great, vile grief I helped to cause this girls death, I would do all I can for her. Oh why had this had to happen? I feel I can never go to Milward’s again- I noticed even this afternoon- I suppose some of them remember.…
