RETELLING OF THE DEATH OF NATALIE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NATALIE.

I am 15 months old. Even though I am very young but I am smart enough for a simple recounting.  My dad was exiting to go to oxford. I wish he was home more often. He was shaving and my mom was looking after me and I was hiding with a cookie. My dad was a professor at oxford and my mom works at home. My favorite breakfast is bananas and that is what I am eating right now. My dad has an important meeting for oxford this morning and he is late. He ran down stairs and colliding with the kitchen table grabbed the toast on the table and stuffed it in his mouth. He grabbed his briefcase and searched for papers, pens, binders, gigantic books bigger than me, and a weird book called Angels and Demons which everyone but him seemed to think was extremely stupid, to read when he got bored during the day. Then his coffee was done and he grabbed it and wolfed it down. I was fed my breakfast and Dad was rushing around looking for his missing pen with red ink and a marked binder. When he found them he realized he had left his keys upstairs. I watched it all with amusement. Soon my mom was telling him he better hurry up which did not help his temper.  His keys happened to be on his pant pocket and he hurried outside. The phone rang as Dad left. Mom went into the living room to get it. I realized that Dad had not said goodbye, so I ran outside, because he had left the door open, to say goodbye. Dad had turned on the car and he didn’t hear me so I ran behind to stop him from moving. I couldn’t stop the car. I fell back and hit the ground. The wheel went over me. I died.
