Maplerose Monologue
Dedicated to my friends and family, and to all the authors of the great books that I have read.
On the third day of September, in the town of Maplerose, a girl was riding home on a bike of the finest, fiery, fall, orange. She was zipping down the leaf covered streets, like a floating gypsy, because her bike blended in so well. Alice Mint was the girl biking down the streets.

“Well, thanks for coming. Alice has a check up on the first of November.” Mr. Grenhow told Alice’s mother.
