This is the ending I originally wrote. This is the story that came to me and how it ended, but it was not what I wanted it to end with. I wanted it to have a more positive ending so I wrote a different one. The thing is, what is written below IS the original ending and I cannot just delete it. I made a few alterations to that ending and this one so that they would fit together as a continuous whole, but it is a good bit bleaker. If you choose to continue reading you will come to a much darker ending over all.

Again, it is your choice.

Steven looked over at his friend Allan, “I don’ know”.

“We could al’ays go visit Bessie,” John suggested.

“Naw,” said Ted. “I don’ feel like cow-tippin’. Beside, you gotta do that at night so old man MacGreggor don’ catch ya, an’ it’s still ten in the mornin’.”

It was late summer, school was just a few weeks away from starting back up, and the four friends were sitting on Allan’s front porch.

         

“Look who’s comin’ up the lane.”

         

“Hey guys,” called out a girls’ voice, and a moment later Amanda flopped down on the steps.
