• She is in jail. My sister Sarah has been in jail so long it feels like an eternity.

    Though it seems like only yesterday I remember it so vividly. Two years ago my sister

    Sarah and I were scavenging through a pond looking for a rubber ball I’d lost. Then I

    slipped on something and it was my ball kind of. Now it was all black and grimy when

    before it was bright yellow, my sister and I didn’t see how that was possible when the

    water was a clean as possible for it to be. When we got back to our house I went straight

    in and started to wash it off it was for my grandfather tomorrow is his 100th birthday so I

    got him an exact replica of the bouncy ball I had swallowed when I was four. You see my

    grandfather is sort of a bouncy ball collector and the yellow one I swallowed was his

    favorite so now I’m repairing the damage done nine years ago by giving him back what

    he lost. Just then the phone rang and I heard my mother saying something one the phone

    and called us into the room in which she was talking.

    One thing you should know about my mom is that she never yells unless some

    thing really bad happens like someone dieing so we ran in having no idea what had

    happened then we were blown. After about 20 minutes or so we hoped into our brand

    new bright blue minivan.

    Later that day we were in our grandfather’s hospital room he was asleep when we

    entered so we were very quiet Sarah went over to his side, I went to him first and asked

    him what he wanted most then sat down waiting for him to answer then he grunted like

    he was hit. This had struck me as odd because he never ever grunted then Sarah said it

    was time to leave.

    I wondered why she was rushing out of here but I knew best not to argue with her

    so we left but not before I put the bouncy ball down next to him then we left. The next

    morning the doctor called saying that grandpa had been found with a knife in his side

    then he read his will to all of us grandma got everything except the money, his bouncy

    balls, and his trumpet. The trumpet and bouncy balls went to me and the money

    surprisingly went to Sarah. Now I know this sounds strange to you but imagine the

    biggest room in the world now fill that room with all $100 bills that is how much he had

    so Sarah being Sarah saved it thinking that if she saved it in five years it would be about

    the same and still a ton of money. She was planning to give it all to companies that put

    their money towards saving the world and with this money they probably could. Then

    Sarah started to sound like grandpa not what she said but her voice was exactly like

    grandpa’s not just sorta kinda EXACTLY like his. Talk right now imagine someone else

    speaking exactly like you that is how shocking it was. Suddenly I ran out of the house

    down the street and to the park right now it was so early people were out walking their

    dogs so no one would bother me. So when I sat down and thought I flashed back to the

    day he died and then studied the room better than I had when I had been in there then I

    saw it, Sarah had a knife and stuck it into grandpa’s side then he grunted just like I

    remembered.

    That is when I broke the flashback and ran to the police station to tell them to test

    the fingerprints on the knife to my sisters they were exactly the same that is how she was

    put in jail. My mom was astounded, Grandma cried for hours on end about having a

    useless granddaughter. I just sat thinking why Sarah did it and then I got it, the money,

    why did it go to Sarah?
