The Donut Shoppppp..........

Gracie was in her apartment when suddenly all the power went out. She decided to go for a walk because she didn't like being in the dark alone. As she was walking down the street a smell of deliciousness filled the air around her. Gracie followed the smell all the way over to the Donut Shop. It smelled so good she couldn't resist, she had to go inside and get a Donut, plus it was the only place with electricity. When Gracie got inside the place was packed with people. She saw a guy named Rio Sharpe that she had met once, or twice before. Once she made her way over to him she tried to make small talk by asking him what the cause of the power outage was, but he didn't seem to remember her so she walked away.

Memories..........

Gracie was walking down the street by Smart Pac. On her way past the liquor store she saw a drunk man beating a woman. Immediately it brought her back to the times when her own father would beat her mother whenever he was drunk. Gracie thought of all the times she woke up with flashlights shining in her eyes because the police had been called, and all the times she had begged her dad not to choke her mom, but she was too small to do anything. The man walked back inside, and left the woman lying on the ground crying with her face in her hands. Gracie walked over to her, and sat down beside her. Gracie turned to the woman, "Does he do that often?" she said. The woman quietly responded, "Almost everyday." Gracie then went on telling her the story about her mother being beat by her father, and explained to her that she can't stay with a man that abuses her because it will only get worse. She told the woman that the fastest way out is to just leave. After a while the woman got up and gave Gracie a big hug. They said their goodbyes, and the woman went straight home to pack up her things, as Gracie went back to her apartment, for she had done her good deed for the day!
