Late Again

The clouds had moved in earlier that evening. It was very gloomy weather, but it wasn’t raining yet. Rick and Jodie let their fifteen-year-old daughter go to a party that night. She had a curfew but she was late…again. They were sitting at the kitchen table having a discussion, and waiting for the instant she walked through the door. “Damn her, she knows that her curfew was at midnight and it’s already …showed first 75 words of 587 total…

…showed last 75 words of 587 total…one more thing, she is five months pregnant.” “I’m deeply sorry, now if you’ll excuse me.” Rick began crying like there was no tomorrow. He fell to the floor, and looked up at the police officer. And just as the officer looked back at him, the rain began pouring down as if someone of a higher source of life felt the sorrow he and Jodie were experiencing and was also crying with them.
