            I’ve been waiting, and boy, have I been waiting a long time.  How long must it take?  I’ve been sitting on this cold sidewalk for hours.  Now a light drizzle begins to pour.  Great.  Cold and wet.  I’m starting to get angry and impatient.  I hear sirens round the corner, but I hope it doesn’t come near me.  I don’t want all the commotion.

            Minutes pass by, but it feels much longer than that.  More sirens turn the corner.  Whatever it is, it must be big.  I see four, five, six police cars and an ambulance drive by.  I could go over and see what’s going on, but my parents said they would be back soon.  Why are they taking so long?  I’m beginning to feel lonely.  The rain starts to pour harder and I sit on the corner, drowning in my misery, hoping they come back.
