Continuation writing
An anxious call came into Gilleece’s bar. A newly married woman, who had
spent the afternoon at the bar on Wednesday , couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care
about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.
Gilleece didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set
out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking through security-camera videos,
watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a chair outside and
left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench,
slipped something into his pocket, and walked off. posted a clip (剪辑) on the bar’s
Facebook page. “I didn’t want to punish him,” he said. “I just asked if anybody knew
who the guy was.”
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather, who admitted having
taken the wallet and told Gilleece he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days.
He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake(假的), so he took the money and
threw the wallet off the dock (码头) into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the
dock, where they got talking and Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting along with
his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Judging from Prather’s small
body and red cheeks, Gilleece saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a
criminal.
But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather
could be facing charges. “He would be going to big boy prison. I have to help him
somehow,” Gilleece thought.

Cookie Thief
On the rainy night, a young woman was waiting for her flight at an airport. She
was leaving for London because she got a new job there. It was said that her new boss
was a typical English gentleman polite, modest, humorous and considerate. She was
excited as well as a little nervous about her new life.
With several long hours before her flight, the woman hunted for a book in the
airport shops, bought a packet of cookies and found a place to sit. She took out a book
and started to read. Although she was absorbed in her book, she happened to see that
the man sitting beside her, as bold(大胆的) as he could be, grabbed(抓) cookie or two
from the bag in between them. Educated to be well-mannered-, she tried to ignore it to
avoid an argument. But to show that she was the owner, she started to take cookies
from that bag too. Unfortunately, the man didn't' get that hint(暗示), since he didn't'
stop grabbing the cookies.
“How annoying!” She thought. As the greedy cookie thief kept eating, the
woman munched(用力咀嚼) some cookies and watched the clock. She was getting
angrier as the minutes went by, thinking, “If I weren't so nice, I would blacken his
eyes With each cookie she took, he took one, too; when only one was left, she
wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh he took the last cookie and broke it
in half. He offered her half, and ate the other. She grabbed it from him, glared at him
and thought "Oh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he is so rude! Why didn't the
even show any gratefulness?"
She had never known when she had been so angry, and sighed in relief when her
flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate quickly,
refusing to look back at the rude thief. She boarded the plane, sank in her seat, and
looked for her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise.
Surprisingly, she found the man sitting just behind her.
