The Bridge
Epilogue
Ten years later and the bridge is still standing with the peaceful stream still trickling below it. The trees around it are still alive. The leaves still rustle in the cool summer breeze and the sun shines through the gaps, casting shadows on the earth below.
The place has been untouched for years and the animals happily move around it without the worry of any humans.
Twigs snap and the sound of laughter echoes through the trees, causing the animals to stop and listen. For the first time in ages, it would seem that the animals are not alone. A creaking sound is heard, then the sound of two girls talking. The animals nearby scurry off and the birds fly to the safety of their nest.
More laughter is heard, followed by the creaking sound. Footsteps are heard kicking up the dust from the worn dirt path, then the place is silent once more, except for the cool breeze and the gentle gurgle of the stream.

By the way, to any of you who are still confused, the main character in this story, the black haired girl, is Paulina. Not Sam. Paulina. And of course, Paulina's best friend ever, the second main character, the blond girl, is Star. (:
