Zulandale: A Short Story

Improved Essays
In a sleepy town called Zulandale there was a building that was paranormal. Many people around town would always talk about 4931 W Coleson Lane. That’s where the business was. The business next door got much more business then we ever did. There is a window between Blakely’s Coffee and Hamilton’s Corner. People use to look through the window and ended up getting frantic because they were afraid of the rumors. Francis Oberson was the manager of the business and was concerned for his building and staff. Mr Oberson has heard rumors about his building. He had some people come and asked why there were no customers. Francis owned a restaurant called Hamilton’s Corner. Right next door is Burger Havens on the left side. Rumors said the place use to be a gun shop in the early 1900s. The present time is 1997. Giavanna or Francis didn’t believe the rumors. Francis regurgitated the thought that he wasn’t producing any business. …show more content…
Francis was there already at 7:30. We were opening up shop and as usually no one had ever come to the place. Before work Giavanna usually does the dishes. It was about 10:45 and an unexpected visitor came in to the restaurant. He was pale and had blonde hair and blue eyes he was about 5 foot 11. The first words he said was “Can I look around?” Giavanna said “That was kind of strange.” We were following him and he went into the basement. Out of the blue he says “He is still down here.” “Who?” Francis asked. “The man who got shot and killed”. We quickly escorted him out of building. Giavanna was repulsed and disgusted when she heard the news! When he left, he said his name and gave his card. His name was Salvador Kalpo. That name sounded familiar to Giavanna. We called the law enforcements and oddly they knew who he was. Kalpo was known around the Larson Town that’s next

    As I approached the end of the row I rapidly found myself drawn to one grave in particular. It stood isolated and behind it was a huge oak tree looming that had basked the grave in shadow and shade. The grave’s headstone had been intricately carved out of white marble and had angel inlays impressed into it. The name engraved on it read, Magdalena Scovell, with the dates 1773-1790. I imagined about her life and how cool it must have been that this girl had been alive during the time when our country was just being forged from a small group of revolutionists that didn’t want to deal with a King’s bullshit anymore.…

    There will always be multiple sides to every story, and every side will always believe that they are right, this is shown in Columbine by Dave Cullen, and The Heart and the Fist by Eric Greitens. In The Heart and the Fist, the central conflict is between the American Military and the armed forces of Mohamed Farrah Aidid, both with differing stories of events. The American Military explains its side as one of humanitarian aid, sending in extreme military force to capture Mohamed Aidid, who has been stealing food shipments sent by the UN to the starving citizens of Mogadishu. Mohamed Aidid’s Militia counters with the sudden attacks of the American Military, attacks that have destroyed homes and killed citizens, claiming that the Militia is only responding in defense of the people of Mogadishu. Both sides of the conflict in…
