Losing It
Chapter 3: The Letter, The Paper, The End
Dear Mr. and Mrs.
Darling
We are grieved to
inform you that your daughter, Wendy Darling, Has frozen to death in
Kensinton Gardens. Doctors had tried everything in their power to
revive her but their efforts were unnoticed. Because of the
uncertainty of her family she has already been placed in a coffin and
is waiting at the church. We are very sorry for not speaking to you
in person but the weather has been unbearable these past few days and
we were unable to reach you. We are extremely devastated for this to
happen to a girl of her age.
Sincerely
Officer
dale

On
the 16th February at 10pm Officer Dale rushed a frozen
child to the nearest hospital. The girl was put into the emergency
ward and the doctors tried to revive her sleeping heart. But to no
avail. At 11pm the doctors pronounced that she had past away. After
that They tried to find her family, who would have been questioning
her where abouts. That was true on 17th February Mr. and
Mrs. Darling reported a missing daughter. They were immediately
informed of a girl found and was being held in the hospital. They had
rushed to the hospital and where not expecting the results. They
mourned for their daughter, same as their six other boys. They are
holding a funeral for her at the Kensington cemetery. Also a cross
will be placed at the foot of the tree where she was found. Rest in
Peace Wendy.
In
loving Memory of
