A Short Story Of Amy Kitlod: A Hero's Tale

Improved Essays
Amy Kitlod was in her warm home in Manhattan. It was the home her parents had lived in, but they moved out last year and gave it to Amy. She had the job all 19 year old girls wanted, or not. Her job was the monotonous one of pizza delivery. Three years ago she had met up with a then 17 year old Damon Henrich.
Damon’s father had started drinking excessively since his wife died and had almost always been drunk. He turned on Damon because he resembled his mother so much that he couldn’t bring himself to look at Damon. Damon father had threatened multiple times to kick him because of this, but had never actually done it. Soon Damon’s father turned on him. He had just ordered some pizza from the local pizzeria when Damon asked if he could

and Damon had just received a call. It was from the Police. They had informed him they had tried calling Amy, but she wasn’t answering. He was the only other person who they could call. The Police told him Amy’s parents had passed away a few hours earlier. Damon started freaking out after her heard this and became an emotional wreck because Amy’s parents were his “parents” as well. He quickly went from his apartment and started walking towards the pizzeria where Amy worked. On the way, he started sobbing uncontrollably and went to a nearby park, found a bench, and sat down on it. When he finally calmed down, he looked around to see if anyone was around. Luckily, there was no one in this park at this time to see him other than a lone figure walking slowly down the path to where he was sitting.
Amy, who just finished with her daily assignments, decided to take a “scenic” route home through a park. She was surprised at how cold it was for a mid-September night. She was glad she had brought an extra jacket. As she walked, she saw a solitary man sitting on a bench a few hundred feet off. She didn’t think much about it until he turned his head and looked at her and then quickly look

“I’m alright, but I don’t know how I’ll live without Mom and Dad.” Amy replied.
Damon walked over to Amy and gave her a long hug and then a kiss. He quietly whispered something in her ear and she smiled softly afterward. She gave him another hug and whispered something back to him.
Damon took a step back with his hands on her shoulders and said, “I know”.
Amy turned back to what she was doing and then turned back around and said, “Oh, and good morning to you too!”
Damon just smiled. He loved her smart sense of humor.
“Need any help?”
“No, not unless you want to toast some bread?”
Damon walked over to the toaster, took out a couple pieces of bread from the bag sitting there, and slid them into the toaster. He then went promptly to pour himself a mug of coffee.
Some years later Damon and Amy married and sold Amy’s old house and bought a new one. They both had fair paying jobs and finished paying off their home in three years. They had an excellent marriage because they needed each other and had no one left in their families to help them; they were all too far away to be reached quickly. They loved each other greatly and made the best of their
