To The Movies
I guess it was one of those morning where you looked to the paper boy; calling out in the street, the urgency to buy news in print their goal. This early morning scene always made her smile and shake her head. Oh but that morning in particular;
oh but that smile was the last smile
to come upon her face, for soon after she would have gotten the news of a ship built to last, then sunken; carrying down so many hopes dreams and connections.
And many many years later. The movies would made the day come alive once more.

I like the way you made the Titanic story your own, Gillena! It’s amazing to think that back in 1912 you could only get news from papers – now we know it all immediately.

I like the contrast between getting the news from the paperboy, and then seeing the tragedy later unfold on the big screen.

A memory of the sad sinking of the Titanic. I liked your line of taking down memories with them into the sea. So true indeed. Well done.

It would be awful to relive the story again on the screen. You used the line so well in your story of a sad memory.

Gillena, your piece adeptly captures a moment of nostalgia with the quoted line, skillfully linking a morning scene to the enduring impact of a sunken ship. The brief yet poignant narrative subtly unfolds, leaving a lasting impression. Well done.
