Creative Writing: Mrs. Strangeworth's Pines

Improved Essays
Mrs. Strangeworth looked out at what used to be her roses, her wide blue eyes welled up with tears. She could not believe her eyes, as if she was dreaming her worst nightmare. What used to be her roses were suddenly a pile of dirt with tire marks, from the start of the roses to the end. She walked with difficulty to the old oak door and turned the handle, tears ran down her old rugged face and yelled, “Why? Why me? My roses they’re all destroyed. Who could’ve possibly done this?” She thought for a minute, while calming herself down. “Who did I send letters to last night, and who would dare to take away my dignity?” she asked herself. Then thought to herself “This is outrageous, it must’ve been Mrs. Harper. Maybe I was too forward with her yesterday.

“Of course it is terrible, my roses were the backbone of this city. Didn’t you know that?” Mrs. Strangeworth sounded very snotty in saying this.
“If you’re going to talk to me and talk about the town like that then I am better off to leave, goodbye Adela, and good luck in finding the person who did this.” Mrs. Harper was saddened by the way Mrs. Strangeworth was talking to her.
“Mrs. Harper please, please don’t leave. Can you please just stay for a minute? I really need someone to talk to,” Mrs. Strangeworth said with an apologizing tone.
Mrs. Harper said “I guess I can stay Adela, but please, watch your tone.”
As Mrs. Strangeworth took her shoes off and decided to stay in and calm herself down instead of going out and cause havoc she made a glass of tea for her and Mrs. Harper. As they politely sip on their tea Mrs. Strangeworth started to feel more at

    To my satisfaction, the rabbit soup hasn’t lost much of its spice-laden, herb-kissed suavity. But the unearthly silkiness of the soup was undermined by the lack of sufficient salt, something that Elizabeth had always forgotten. Slightly disappointed, I reached into the ligneous cupboard in search of the jar of salt. My hand felt around the cupboard, afraid to make any noise, journeyed past the deep wood grooves and the dangerously-slippery jars, with little success. When the final verse of the lullaby began, my heart skipped a beat; I knew my temporary warmth left in this room would soon vanish.…

    The story “The Possibility of Evil,” by Shirley Jackson, is about a woman named Adela Strangeworth and her life in the small town that she lives in. Miss Strangeworth is a seemingly nice, elderly woman, who lives on Pleasant Street in her beautiful house surrounded by roses. Having family ties to this town dating back over 100 years Miss Strangeworth considers herself the matriarch of her town and as such decides to try and rid it of evil by sending anonymous letters, full of gossip and suspicion, to her neighbors in the hopes of making them aware of the evil surrounding them. In the end sending those letters backfires when she accidentally drops one of the letters she’s going to mail breaking her anonymity and resulting in her most prized possession, her roses, being destroyed. The central idea of this story is not to judge someone based upon their outward appearance because it does not reflect their heart(or looks can be deceiving).…
