Assignment #2 The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

       After Mrs. Mitty came out of the drugstore, they climbed into their automobile, Walter fastened his seat belt, turned on the windscreen wipers and carefully pulled away from the curb. As they drove out of Waterbury he noticed that he had hit a small dog, Walters face went as white as a ghost he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Uncertain what to do he carefully got out of the car told his wife to continue home without him and watched her disappear into the distance. Walter then noticed that the dog was as cold as ice, he didn't want to beat around the bush so he decided that at the crack of dawn he would find a place to buried the dog. Poor little thing he thought this little dog is so young and has already bite the dust...kicked the can... pushing up the daisy's. It was the dead on winter so Walter thought if he just covered the dog up with some snow no one will notice and he can come back in the morning. So Walter bent down sprinkled some snow on him and began to walk home. Half way there he had a wave of guilt over himself and decided to turn back to finish the job. He glanced at a store on his way back to the small dog and even though he was only making ends meat  he wanted to buy a small box to put the dog in for the burial. After buying the box he went back to the patch of snow, dusted it off, placed the dog in the box and went to a near by tree. Once in a blue moon he thought to himself you find a special tree like this one that is as old as dirt. He dug up the hole dropped the dog in and said the grass is always greener on the other side  and as soon as he finished covering up the hole he had made Walter heard a slight whimper come from the ground...
