Famous Lines from Famous Books

A screaming comes across the sky... I heard it from my bedroom window. It startled me so much that I fell of my bed while reading a book. I wondered what it was, so I'm going to go check it out. As I'm walking down the sidewalk I heard it again. It was coming from the alley two blocks away. I was running as fast as my legs could run until I fell. I guess I was running too fast. When I got to the alley there was a man on top of a woman. He ran off when he looked up and saw me. I ran to the woman to see if she was okay. She was dying. I could tell. He has beaten her to death. As she looks into my eyes she says to me softly, "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody..." She then closed her eyes. She was just laying there, motionless. I was so scared. What should I do? My mind started going crazy, and my heart started racing. Tears were pouring down my face as I just sat there next to this woman that I didn't even know. Why did she tell me that? What happened? Where did the man go? What did she do to deserve this? I got up and ran. I ran, and ran, and ran. The problem was that I didn't know where I was running to, but kept on going. As I finally wiped my tears off my face I noticed that I was in town, and right across the street from the police station. I burst through their doors, and started yelling for help. "What's wrong?" one officer said to me. "Should I tell them that I just witnessed a murder?" I asked myself. Then I had a flashback of the woman's face, and what she had told me. She deserves to have justice I thought, so I looked right in the officers eyes. I told him that I had just witnessed a murder.
