Hers is the only yard in her neighborhood effected in this way.
On the same system in an adjacent response,
Chris's father is flying through the air
over the bars of his Honda motorcycle.
" The front wheel stopped dead
in the side of a merging car. "

bleeding profusely with bones protruding -
lying beside me on the unbearably hot pavement.
The witnesses tell different stories:
I was walking a bike on the crosswalk
or I was riding a bicycle across the Avenue.
when the car appeared.
They heard a scream.
