Short Stories
Story #3
Grace
Megan stared at the stain, horrified.
Green as grass.
Mrs. Smoot looked as if she smelled something worse than grass.
“The cabinets are hideous. You can load them right back on the truck. I’m not accepting and I’m not paying.”
“I can’t understand it,” Megan whispered to the driver. “The sample was a perfect match: number ninety-nine, Cherry Wood.”
Mike grinned. “These are number sixty-six, Lime Cooler. The stack in the back is ninety-nine.”
Story #4
Long Way, Baby
Megan stared at the stain, horrified. Mrs. Wright, the sixth-grade teacher, looked away.
“Run on home, girlie. Your mother will take care of you.” Megan walked to her grandparents' house.
When he came home, Grandfather Elijah found her sitting atop the fence, face streaked with dirty tears.
“What’s wrong with my girl?”
Megan could tell Grandfather anything: and so she did.
“You’re not dying, baby girl, you’re just growing up.”
The year was 1925.

And the 2nd one was so poignant and tender. Very well done.
And the second one, I had to help a younger girl in school who had this same problem. Honestly, I think a lot of young girls think they're dying. Great job on both stories!
