What do you think of this story,I just made it up.

~The Black Dress~



Amist a busy street crossing, a young girl dressed in black sat on a lone bench. The girl looked no more then a day over 10. She was clothed in a black dress, and had black boots on her seemly much smaller feet. In her hair was one black headband, and her flowing mane of hair was quite long, streaming down all the way to her boots, but unable to touch the ground. The girl paid no notice to her surroundings, which was amazing since the street was very noisy. She looked like she was staring off into space, and her feet were always moving back and forth swinging slightly off the ground. A man soon found himself looking at the girl, but not for too long. This man was usually busy with his work and often saw himself away from his wife and children, and it was for long periods of time. The man was Ken Hagenlock, a gentleman from germany. At the moment, he was wearing a regular work uniform, with a tie, of course. Ken started to cross the street, but his mind was far from where he was at. His thoughts were full of diagrams and blue prints, and the lines of pens and pencils could not find their way out of his head. The man was in the middle of the street and a large truck was zooming toward his location. The driver, at that moment, dropped an important photo of his son on the floor of his truck, and quickly reached down to pick it up. Ken had no idea that the truck was speeding toward his own death, his mind too full of future plans. The young girl, dressed in black, wispered one word, ';Stupid.'; She jumped from her seat and pushed the ';Stupid'; man out of the street. Ken had no idea what was happening until he saw the speeding truck rolling past him. He picked himself up and looked down at the young girl. ';Thank you miss, but, how did you do that? Wait....what am I thinking! That doesn't matter, you saved my life! How can I thank you!'; Ken was quite happy, it seems. The girl stared up at Ken. She spoke like an adult when she talked, ';I have one request for you,Ken.';,she held up one finger,';I want you to go home and hug your wife and kids, and tell them that you love them. You got all that?'; Ken was amazed. ';How could you possibly know my name? I don't remember being famous, or anything like that.'; Ken looked very puzzled. The girl looked at her right and spoke,';I would think you, of all people, would ask something like how I know your name. I guess I have just been around the block more times then you have.'; She turned back at him. ';Anyways, aren't you late for a meeting?'; Ken shrugged,';I don't have anymore places to be today, or tonight, for that mat..'; The young girl shouted at him,';Your missing the biggest meeting of them all, one which happens to be the very one that will change your life forever!'; Ken steped back. The girl looked upset at him, and at the looks of it, she was about to give him a beating. He thought about want she said at the moment. A meeting, which missed will change his life? And it hit him. ';Oh my god, you're right! If I don't get home soon,I'll really get it!'; Ken shaked her hand and said his goodbyes. ';Thank you miss!'; The man ran quickly into the distance. The young girl looked spaced out when she stared at him as he ran off. ';The little things are what matter most, Ken. Remember that.';, she said under the noise of the street.What do you think of this short story?
