grip Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 We also spoke of adding our own 'post story paragraph' - please feel free to do so! It would be fun and interesting to read. Here is my ending preceded by the last few lines of the story as published: "Oh, please, dear God, dear kind God, my blessed Father in Heaven, let him call before then. Please, God. Please. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twentyfive, thirty, thirty-five..." Oh please ring, ring, ring ? Ring ? It

Well mam. He was killed in an auto accident about two hours ago...We just found the wreck at the bottom of the hill on Dead Man's Curve. Your number had been punched into his cellphone, but not sent at the time of the accident.
