Sequel to 31st chapter!
Here is the long awaited sequel! I am really sorry about long wait.
Anyway, here ya go!
As Katya, now 35, retold the story to her children, Travis, her husband, popped into the small room next to the only other room.
The apartment was tiny, and small, but it was fine considering it was The Great Depression and money was tight.
The lady who worked at the market below claimed they had gotten "such a steal on that apartment, such a steal!"
"Katya, are you sure you should be telling that story to them?" he said as he grabbed the crate of apples he was planning to sell for money at the corner.
"Travis, it'll be fine. Have fun!" she said.
Travis rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right."
"Mama, whats a shirtwaist?" asked her youngest, Ruthie.
"And where did all this take place?" asked her second oldest, Ann.
"Would you like me to show you?" Katya asked.
All three children nodded excitedly.
"Good. Bundle up in your coats. Conner, please feed the chickens. Then we can see it."
As her children bundled up to fight against the cold winter airs, she smiled at her kids.
They were so intelligent, and adorable, Travis and Katya wanted the best for them.
She lead her children out the door, stopping a moment to survey the peddlers in the street. She was planning to find a bargain and lower the price a bit, but her children tugged at her sleeves.
"C'mon, Mama!"
"Okay, okay. Stick together!"
She stopped finally in front of the building. She liked towards the eighth floor, remembering how she had jumped with Travis all those years ago.
She was lucky. Nearly all of the girls and boys in there had died.
A sign nearby declared this to be a New York Historical Monument.
She felt the tears well up in her eyes.
She quickly rubbed them away.
"C'mon, children! The peddlers won't wait all day!" she said, desperate to get away.
The children stared one last look at the building, then went along with her.
"So, what did you think of the building?"
Did you like? Hope you did.
Hey, I was just thinking, If this story lasts, maybe I can do one next year!
I think that a guess would be around 93 chapters then!
Yay! I'm excited for future chapters! :D
