Word On the Street
W Wondering what happened
O Old established neighbors
R Ran into street after the car left
D Dead body was covered quickly
O Old people were not home. Deceased was their lawyer Sam.
N No one had actually witnessed the crash or the car leaving.
T The witnesses were all over the place
H He said he saw the hit-and-run-driver then changed his mind
E Everyone wanted to help of course, this being a tight group.
S She said she heard the driver yell something but she lied.
T There had been some witnesses of course.
R Red car, blue truck, yellow bus even. Not reliable ones.
E Everyone began talking at once.
E Each had a different version, saw a different vehicle.
T They all wanted to talk sadly having no real information.
