Screams woke me up tonight. Looking out my bedroom window I could see nothing other than black, but I could still hear the frightened screams.
I wonder should I get up and help? Or should I just wait and see what happens? Two simple questions, just two questions, and both of which are very appealing. If I were to help I would be considered a hero by all of Maycomb…or I might just get killed. Maybe I should just let things run their course…
The shouting ceased. If I strained my ears enough I could hear the fading pitter-patter of footsteps and a faint whisper.
I yawned. Perhaps I should just go to bed…
