Why Did She Smiled
Lou Ann was fifty-six the day that she died and the last question I asked was why
did she smiled.Her husband was in jail and he was sentence to life.For killing her
two children with an axe and a knife.Her family didn't cared if she lived or died,but
eveytime I saw her she would always smiled.I asked her the question,"Lou Ann,why
do you smile?"With an eerie look on her face she gladly replied,"I see my children in
the yard and I'm going to play with them in a while."I didn't knew what she saw and
I didn't knew what she meant,but everybody told me that Lou Ann didn't had good
sense.All I knew something was not right and I should have known that tonight
would be the night that Lou Ann would tragically die.That night in December It was
cold,dark,and quiet,and at twelve O'clock midnight,something loud broke the
silence.The police went inside and found a smiling Lou Ann in her bed.With an
empty .380 but a bullet in her head.Everybody thought that Lou Ann was a crazy old
fool,but if you lost everything you love the what would you do?
