1. Ellis

Ellis was sit in the chair reading a paperback book. He couldn't really read so he just look at pictures, but he couldn't find them neither so he just pretend to anyway.

Ellis was a young man of age twenty-nine who live in Savannah, Georgia small town, where he worked and own him own Auto Repair Shop. He went to local school but drope out in Senior year. He get GED and then go to Universal Technical Institute where they make him Auto Mechanic.

Ellis liked the cars. He and him Dad has restore and rebuilt 1972 Gran Torino. But then afterward Dad got sick and died. It was the tuberculosis. Ellis and him Mom and brother Tom bury his. Then when they got old, Tom move away to California to work in customer affairs. Ellis not talk to Tom in a long time, and was angry when mom pass away, too, because Tom never comes to funaral. He never write back either.

So Ellis was all alone in town now with no familys. He just run the shop, but times were hard adn not many business was happen. It is easier to go and dealership, apparently.

And now he always gets letter that say:

"We are going to turn you off. Pay us the money."

When that happen, he is not sure what to do. He cannot make the payment. So until them Ellis will enjoy the car work and try and make best of life.

Ellis start to sleep and dream and the book falls...

But then the door bell ring and he see car pull up outside. Ellis fall of chair in a startle. Then he got up and think they might need the service so he goes out to check. Oportunity to make money that he need, his head thoughtmake.

It was a blue Japonese car like Hyundai or Subaru. Ellis not like them cars because they have small enginges like four cylinders, and they have kill teh Economy of America cars like include the Prius.

"Y'all need some help?" Ellis shoutered from behind the door open but not all the way. He open door more to see.

Then then the car door open, then close and someone go out, and car drives away with screeching.

"That im weird," say Ellis. He turns around and...

AMBUSH!

A crazy man behind his surprise and jump on Ellis and beat him with fists. Ellis yell and pain was loud, but Ellis has the gun (it is South so he did) and fire once. It hit man and the blood goes and then he shoots agen and makes him dead in self-defence.

Ellis walk fast into the outside and look down road after car. Ellis pant and breathe hard. He look at gun then again at dead man.

But then he saw all the angry people run at him from top of the road.

2. Coach

Coach was stand at the foot of the field and watch him students perform the exercise technique he show them earlier. They look good, especially the young girls, he cannot help but notice. For it is instinct.

The wind was blow, and the humid make him loose weight but he did not pay attention. Instead, he watch the students begin to run now in the physical education.

It remind him of long time ago when he was a student, too. He was good atthlete in middle school like the one him at now. And then in High School, he became the best football play ever. His coach say to Coach one time, "You are the greatest player who ever live." But then during the big game, Coach ankle break in half-time and they loss the trophy. The humilaite came and he never made it to collage football. And even eventual pro-football. Then after High School he get job at janitor. Then he work way up to Middle School, where they give him the teaching posisstion because they respect his days in football team. The principal played with him once, and it was a close game.

The pain and regrets never left, though, and the day he still thinks about it like now...

"Coach!" one of the pretty girls shoot.

"What." Coach say. Him face become stoic to hide emotion inside.

"One of students have fall!" she say.

"I will...look into it." Coach say with quiet and look distantly away intothe swamp.

"No! You must!" she say with louder this time.

Then the announcuing speaker said, "This is the prinincpal. The school is now close because the army tell us to. Everyone go inside NOW!!!"

Coach turn around and with curuious, then he looked at the student that had fall.

Suddenly, he gets up and bite the girl who gave Coach the warning.

If only Coach listenes the first time...he now have to live with that for rest of life.
