Bridgefield: A Fictional Narrative
"Can I assume your sister wasn't the quiet one? I caught up with my partner as he exited the building.
"I assumed the hair would give it away."
We both sat down in the vehicle before discussing our findings. I showed him the ticket like paper I had found in the notebook, which sparked recognition in his eyes.
"This is a time stamp for entrance at one of the docks."
These docks of course being something Bridgefield was famous for, or at the very least recognizable.
"Can you tell which one she went to?" I was unfamiliar with how much information these conveyed.
"It's possible, at the very least it will be worth checking out." With that he removed a folded piece of paper, that he had apparently located with her locker.
"We're meeting at the usual spot, bring what we discussed." The note's handwriting was astonishingly proper, the type you would expect to find printed in gold for a royal summon.

I leaned my head out of the car, the breeze carried a feeling of dampness to itself, the rain had ceased before we left the building, the sun breaking the clouds overhead. I could see the glistening cross overhead. Under no particular intent I asked something of Henry as he was hanging

    He let the ministries zip past (the pink, the white), and a series of stores on the main street, their windows flash ing. Now he was beginning the most pleasant part of the run, the real ride: a long street bordered withtrees, very little traffic, with spacious villas whose gardens rambled all theway down to the sidewalks, which were barely indi cated by low hedges. Abit inattentive perhaps, but tooling along on the right side of the street, heallowed himself to be carried away by the freshness, by the weightlesscontraction of this hardly begun day. This involuntary relaxa tion, possibly,kept him from preventing the accident. When he saw that the womanstanding on the corner had rushed into the crosswalk while he still had thegreen light, it was already somewhat too late for a simple solu tion. Hebraked hard with foot and hand, wrenching him self to the left; he heard thewoman scream, and at the collision his vision went. It was like falling asleep all at once. He came to abruptly. Four or five young men were get ting him out from under the cycle.

    The weather, a perfect reflection of my emotions. Somewhere in the pattern of the rain rose something else, a crashing and uneasy sort of noise. Letting my eyes focus, I saw the outline of a man. Larger set, and round around the middle. In his hands he held a bottle, and judging by his clumsy composure and inability to walk in a straight line, it held more than just apple juice.…

    As the sky gave up the last of its tears, I felt my hands lose the grip of the umbrella as it sway with the gush of wind. Many in black stood before the empty space, grieving for him. The deep soil stood out from the acres of green clear land, surrounding the Parish building, awaiting to be complete with what was to decay in it forever. My mother’s arm clutches me tightly as she grieves for her husband’s death. Almost to the floor, I struggle to keep balance as my mother pulls me to the ground with her. The flowers frail, drooping their usual morning dew, paying respect for the dead, with children weeping, as their tears flow like a never ending waterfall of depression.…

    “We’ll see,” she answered. All of us kids worked frantically to unpack the car and put the luggage in each person’s bedroom of the house they were staying at. We stayed on my Grandfathers (Grandtom) properties when in Cape May. He had a large Victorian house (called 909) for him and my Grandmother (Granddot) and their guests and next door was a smaller but still grand Victorian house (called 907) for his children and their families and friends- that is where I stayed. There was a tennis court behind GrandToms house and a large garage with a one bedroom apartment above behind…

    It was a grey afternoon with a dull sky. The wind was sighing in the tree top and boughs moaned. The dark, ragged and ominous clouds drifted over. Surprisingly, instead of beating down a curtain of rain from heavens, it only brought drizzle. “I wish it would rain cats and dogs.” Sylvia talked to herself while she was sitting in a bus looking up to the eerie sky.…
