Epilogue:
Later that day they found out all the missing information. Race had died from a severe concussion; Jake had had his neck broken; and Skittery, Skittery had bled to death, but he had never woken.
The newsies had a funeral for their fallen friends, and it was one that would never be forgotten. Humble, yet sincere were the words spoken about each friend, and though they knew Skittery had been the cause, no one ever blamed him, especially not Jack.
Now that I've finished the story I'd like to share with you the truth behind the story. This is a bit disturbing, so please feel free to skip it.
Similar events occurred at my aunt's house. It was nearly morning when her next-door neighbor, forgive me I don't remember the woman's name, came to her front door shouting, I believe her arms were covered in blood. She explained to my aunt and uncle that her son Nick had somnambulism and was trying to kill her (he was sleepwalking).
My uncle found this situation hard to believe, as he knew that Nick was a very polite and good-natured boy. He went into her home, to find Nick. When he got inside Nick was at the top of the stairs, where he proceeded to jump down on my uncle. He described Nick as having something strange in his eyes; he was like an animal waiting to attack. My uncle managed to escape and ran back to his house, telling my aunt to lock the door and call the police quickly.
After they closed the door Nick tried to get into it by breaking the glass on the front door. By doing this he severely cut his arms, getting shards of glass stuck in them, and getting blood everywhere. Anyway he eventually gave up and went back to his room. Nick's aunt and grandmother were hiding in the house when he came back. They said his breaths were so hard and deep, he didn't sound human. Between the time when he left my aunt's door and the police's arrival Nick curled up nursing his arm, and then in time died. Let him rest in peace.
My story was just a fabricated version involving the newsies. I would also like to say that all the parts of this story were completely random. I have nothing against Skittery, he is my second favourite newsie; I chose him as the sleepwalker because when I stuck my hand in my hat I grabbed his name. The same goes for Jake and Race being killed and Jack being the 'girlfriend stealer'.
