Eugene was tired. It was four o'clock, Friday the 29th, and he had to post his rent by five. His scumbag landlord; a sweaty, short Italian named Leon was threatening to kick him out for the third time in as many months. Eugene was out collecting debts from customers. Eugene considered himself a modern businessman, pulling himself up by the bootstraps in the greatest place in the world, the city of New York. He loved New York, but the feeling wasn't mutual; He called himself an 'Entrepreneur', the City of New York preferred the term 'Drug Dealer'.

Eugene stood in the cramped, poky sitting room, trying not to move or breathe. Every available surface was covered in cats. Cat figurines on the small worn coffee table, cat pictures on the walls, magazines about cats, cat baskets, cat scratching posts, a cat clock on the wall, and of course an actual, real life cat. Though the moniker cat was loosely applied here: The thing was about as big as a dog, and as ugly as a sewer rat. It stared Eugene down with its one eye, almost daring him to move closer so it could pounce and sink its claws and teeth into him. He'd been on the wrong end of it before and still bore the evidence to prove it. He hated that bastard cat.

The cat leapt, and Eugene instinctively flinched, but it wasn't an attack, it instead landed in the lap of the old woman sitting on the frayed couch, settled in and began to purr, its eyes fixed again on Eugene and he tried to ignore it. A tiny withered hand appeared from within the purple shawls and layers and began to stroke it idly. The other hand held a slim cigarette, absent-mindedly shedding ash and embers like little snowflakes on the threadbare carpet. She exhaled like a death rattle, blowing blue smoke into the air where it hung like a thick fog and made Eugenes' nostrils burn and his eyes water.

"So, Ive got your order here, and well.." Eugene fumbled in his messenger bad and produced a little shoebox, pulling out the bag of weed, ".. its coming up to the end of the month and I think we should talk about your tab". He tossed the bag into the faded china bowl on the table (Cat shaped) and disappeared the box back into the messenger bag. The old woman pursed her lips and she sucked on the cigarette, a long draw burning it almost down to the filter, before discarding it in an ashtray on the arm and immediately lighting another.

"Ah, dah, dah, boy" she drawled in her rough slavic accent. "Is tough time for me and the little Pushkin" she scratched the cats ears and it let out a rumble of enjoyment.

"Many cold nights. Many bills for the heat and light, so the money is tight, yes?".

"Look, I get that, but I've got bills that need paying too, see?"

She pursed her lips and pulled on the cigarette again, avoiding Eugenes gaze, staring instead at the ancient television in the corner, its screen dulled by years of smoke and dust, as if simply refusing to acknowledge Eugene would make him disappear. He sighed, exasperated:
"Listen" he started, "I'm not leaving here without my money, ok? If you cant pay it all right away, thats fine, just give me something, anything, so I can get on my way and keep the wolves from my door." She scoffed, and mumbled something about Eugene not knowing what wolves at the door was really like, but he ignored it. The cat jumped down from the babushkas lap and skulked around the furniture, Eugene made a mental note to be worried, it looked like it was trying to flank him behind the couch. He side stepped around the coffee table to put some kind of barrier between him and it.

The elderly lady had lit another cigarette, and was studiously ignoring him. He bent down and picked up a small silver statuette of two cats playing with a ball of yarn from the end table. "How about this" he said, holding the figurine out for the woman to see, "Ill take one of these, and pawn it to cover your expenses, and we'll clear the rest of the debts, but from here on out, we deal in cash only. Upfront payment. Deal?"

The elderly woman leapt from the settee with speed and ferocity that startled Eugene, he stepped back, bumping into a musical box that plinked a few notes of an East-European folk tune. The elderly womans face was inches from his, eyes ablaze, and teeth bared. "You would take from me!? An old woman?! What could you take from that Stalin and his army did not?" Eugene backed away as she spat on the ground and hurled insults in her mother tounge. As he moved, he felt something soft brush against his leg and he remembered the cat as it launched its attack.

Tumbling backwards over the couch in a flurry of fur and arms, Eugene came up quick and bolted for the door. The elderly woman cut him off, blocking the door wielding a ancient and metal tipped walking cane. She let out a ferocious battle cry and swung the stick, he ducked, diving across the couch as the stick collided with a shelf, shattering the figurines and raining shards of glass and porciline down on him. He scrambled to his feet, right as the cat, who had positioned itself on the back of the couch, leaped into the air aimed at him.

In a panic, Eugene lashed out with his foot. He connected with the feline predator, punting it across the room, it sailed through the air, twisting in a panic as it tried to right itself, but its efforts were in vain. With a splintering crash, the cat burst through the small curtained window and disappeared into the void with an ear splitting howl. Eugene froze for a second. The apartment was deathly quiet, except for the low hum from the ancient television, and then he heard the faint

-thump-.

"Fuck."

The old woman erupted in a moan that escalated to a wail, and then full blown howling agony as she crossed the room, her gnarled hands framing her face, to look out the window. Eugene took this moment of distraction to make his exit. He tried to not look at the tangled lump of silk and fur that sat on the pavement outside the apartment building, from the corner of his eye it looked like the cat was snugly wrapped in a blanket, and sleeping in the afternoon sun. He hurriedly limped towards the subway station, his hands clutching the small silver figurine of the two cats playing with the ball of yarn. He promised himself he would get the old woman a new cat, and he made a mental note to clear her debt entirely. Behind him on the pavement, the silk curtain stirred slightly.

title: The Cat and the Dealer

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about why Eugene hated the elderly woman's cat?

answer: Eugene and the cat got into a fight the last time he came to threaten them about debts. It's implied that Eugene took on a feline form to make it easier to fight if/when a cat took on another feline form. Therefore, we can assume he dislikes the cat very much.

text:
- There is no evidence in the passage that Eugene can change into a cat.

- There is nothing in the passage to indicate that Eugune threatened the lady for debts the last time he visited.

- It is assumed, without basis, that Eugene generally hate cats.

refinement: Eugene hated the lady's cat because they got into a fight on one of his last visits - he still had injury marks from the encounter.

answer: Eugene hates the elderly woman's cat because it is fierce and dangerous- it leaped at him and tried to attack him while he was trying to collect on a debt. The cat also broke through a window and fled into the void, causing significant damage in the process.

text: - There is an assumption that Eugene was collecting debt when the cat last attacked him. This was not mentioned in the text.

refinement: Eugene hates the elderly woman's cat because it is fierce and dangerous - it attacked him on one of his last visits. The cat also broke through a window and fled into the void, causing significant damage in the process.

text: - The last sentence of the response is not relevant to the question.

refinement: Eugene hates the elderly woman's cat because it is fierce and dangerous - it attacked him on one of his last visits.

answer: The elderly woman was a big fan of cats, and it was evident in her apartment, with every design in the house in the shape and design of a cat, including her actual pet cat. Eugene had hated the elderly woman's pet cat because of its looks. It was large like a dog and ugly like a sewer rat. On one of his visits to the elderly woman's place, he had a nasty encounter with the cat where it attacked him, leaving horrible marks on his body. Ever since, Eugene has taken care to try as much as possible to avoid the unfriendly ugly cat and try not to get on its wrong side.

answer: The cat antagonizes Eugene because it periodically approaches him and scratches him, and Eugene often feels like the cat is trying to ambush or ambush him. Eugene dislikes the cat because it creates a sense of danger for him within the cramped confines of the old woman's apartment.

text: The first part of the response's first sentence is not relevant to the question as it addresses the cat's perspective of the conflict, not Eugene's.

refinement: Eugene often feels like the cat is trying to ambush or ambush him. Eugene dislikes the cat because it creates a sense of danger for him within the cramped confines of the old woman's apartment. Furthermore, it has attacked him before and he still bears the marks to prove it.

answer: Eugene hated the elderly woman's cat because it was big, ugly, and wild. He'd already had a run-in with the cat. The cat attacked him when he went to collect from the elderly woman the second time. He hated the cat because he was terrorized by it.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarise what ensued between Eugene, the elderly woman, and her cat when the woman refused to pay for the drugs.

answer:
Eugene went to her apartment and asked for the payment for drugs he had sold to her. Eventually, she agreed to give a token payment, so he got her one of the two cats figurines he found in his bag.

Although the elderly woman balked at the figurine initially, she took it in the end.

In his haste to leave the place, Eugene barked a goodbye and exited. Realizing his goof up, he hurriedly limped out of the place, promising himself that he would gift her a new cat.

Unfazed and confident of a promotion, Eugene hailed for a cab. All of a sudden, he spotted the apartment door opening and heard an old woman wailing loudly.

Puzzled, Eugene stared at her knitted brows and terror-stricken expression.

"What is it?"

She broke down, crying "MY CAT! You killed my cat!"

text:
- Eugene was in the apartment to sell drugs as well as collect payment.

- Eugene never found the cat figurine in his bag. He took it from the table.

- The old lady tried to take the figurine back, not accept it.

- Eugene was well aware that the cat was hurt and probable dead even before he left the apartment.

refinement: Eugene went to the old woman's apartment and asked for the payment for the drugs he just sold to her. She claimed she has little money and continued to ignore Eugene. Eugene told her he will be taking one of her cat figurines until she paid the full amount. The woman was horrified at the suggestion and lunged at him to take back the figurine, prompting an attack from her cat on Eugene. The man kicked the cat through the window, causing the woman to scream. Eugene realized what he has done and ran out of the apartment. As he left, he made a mental note to get the woman a new cat.

answer: The elderly woman appeared to be a regular customer of Eugene's drug business. However, when Eugene came to deliver drugs to her place, she claimed not to have any money to pay for the drugs. Eugene insisted she makes part payment so he wouldn't have to leave her home empty-handed and have something to render to the people he worked for, whom he referred to as wolves, but the old woman wouldn't budge. Because of this, Eugene attempted to take her glass cat figurines as collateral which only infuriated her. She tried to attack him for trying to take her cat figurines for pawning but missed. While Eugene attempted to escape the old woman, her cat made to attack him as well, but he kicked it out of the apartment's window by accident in self-defence. Horrified that he had killed the old woman's cat, he left her apartment with the glass figurine promising himself to replace the cat, but alas, the cat survived the fall.

text: It is not exactly clear whether the cat Eugene saw downstairs was the old woman's cat.

answer: Eugene offered the elderly woman one of her cat figurines in exchange for clearing her debts. The cat attacked Eugene as he tried to leave and he kicked it out of the apartment via the window.

text:
- Eugene never offered the lady a cat figurine; he was taking it in exchange for her debts.

- The response never detailed the old lady's reaction to Eugene's suggestion.

refinement: Eugene offered to take one of the elderly woman's cat figurines in exchange for clearing her debts. The old lady freaked out at the idea and attacked Eugene. The cat also attacked Eugene as he tried to leave. Eugene ended up kicking the cat out of the apartment via the window.

answer: Eugene arrived to collect debts and offered the elderly woman a small statuette in lieu of payment. She refused and the cat attacked Eugene, who managed to kick it through the window. The woman started crying and yelling with grief and Eugene left quickly.

answer: When Eugene asked the elderly woman to pay her dues, she went hysterical. She went as far as to utter threats at Eugene. The elderly woman picked up a cane and hit Eugene with it, causing Eugene to defend himself by punching back. He bent down to pick up a figurine of two cats playing with a ball of yarn. The elderly woman lunged at him, then grabbing Eugene by the throat and slapped him. She then proceeded to lunge at him with a cane that snapped in half. He managed to escape the apartment, but accidentally broke the window of her apartment along with the cat.

text:
- The old lady did not go "hysterical" because she was asked to pay her dues.

- Eugene never punched the lady, neither did she hold him by the throat nor slap him.

refinement: The elderly woman was hysterical when Eugene took one of her cat figurines as collateral for her debts. He bent down to pick up a figurine of two cats playing with a ball of yarn. She then proceeded to lunge at him with a cane that snapped in half. He managed to escape the apartment, but accidentally broke the window of her apartment.

text: The second sentence seems out of place since Eugene already took the figurine and the old lady already reacted to that.

refinement: The elderly woman was hysterical when Eugene took one of her cat figurines as collateral for her debts. She then proceeded to lunge at him with a cane that snapped in half. The old lady's cat also attacked him, causing him to kick the cat through the window and shatter the windowpane. Eugene eventually managed to escape the apartment.

Locks hang on the suicide-prevention fences lining Vista Bridge in Southwest Portland. Lynn Miller, who lives just north of the bridge, said she is more annoyed with the locks than with the barriers themselves.

_(Melissa Binder/The Oregonian)_

Neighbors who oppose the fences lining Vista Bridge had one thing to say to city officials Thursday: we told you so.

The city installed 9-foot-high suicide-prevention fences on both sides of the historic Vista Bridge in Southwest Portland in August. Since then two people have gone around or over the fencing and threatened to jump, though both came down unharmed.

On Wednesday, police had to cut a hole in the barrier to either provide a way for a suicidal man to get off the edge – which he did not use – or physically intervene if he attempted to jump.

“It’s kind of like, ‘We told you so, and you didn’t listen,’” said Jerry Powell, a resident of the Goose Hollow neighborhood.

The installation of the chain-link fences, a $236,000 temporary solution intended to last five years, was controversial. Residents expressed their support for suicide-prevention measures to City Commissioner Steve Novick, who runs the city's transportation bureau, at a meeting in July. Two months later, neighbors railed against Novick for hastily pushing the temporary fences through and ruining, they said, the view and look of the bridge. They suggested alternatives like nets or an alarm system.

Had the city moved more slowly and engaged with the neighborhoods, Powell said, the result likely would have looked better and been more effective. The barriers clearly aren’t enough to stop would-be jumpers, he said, and the money could have been put toward a solution that works.

Concerned neighbors have appointed a committee of seven – four of whom are architects – to look at better options, said Bill Failing, a Southwest Hills resident and co-organizer of the committee.

“The purpose is to find an aesthetic solution to replace the temporarily blight that right now is allegedly protecting the bridge from suicides,” Failing said.

Novick has met with the committee and agreed to work with them, Failing said.

Christa Moe doesn’t live in the neighborhoods surrounding Vista Bridge, but she knows them well. Moe cleans a number of homes in the area. The families that live there come from old money, she said, and take almost a sacred ownership of the land and its history.

Nevertheless, she said, it’s self-centered to value protecting a bridge more than efforts to save lives – no matter how ugly. The barriers may not be perfect, she said, but they were an attempt to prevent suicide at the bridge as quickly as possible. Plus, she said, getting around the fence takes time – time that might make all the difference.

Eventually, she said, she’d like to see a permanent solution that fits the character of the neighborhood, such as an ornate wrought iron fence.

Outcry for suicide barriers began with Kenneth and Bonnie Kahn early this year. They work at the bottom of the bridge and had seen – and heard – bodies hit the ground outside.

The Kahn’s had seen seven suicides in seven years. But five people have leapt from the bridge this year alone, and Powell suspects the increase resulted from publicity associated with their outcry and advocacy.

The question facing the city and residents alike is what to do now.

Novick’s chief of staff, Chris Warner, said the commissioner has talked with police since the incident Wednesday but will sit down with them in a week or so for a full debrief and to discuss future plans.

Sgt. Pete Simpson, a police spokesman, said installing a locked gate that would allow public safety personnel to get to individuals on the other side of the fence might prevent another debacle like police faced this week.

"Sometimes through crisis you discover opportunities," Simpson said.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why do the neighbors oppose the fences lining the Vista Bridge?

answer: The neighbors oppose the fences because the barriers are not effective at preventing people from committing suicide. The neighbors had offered better suggestions such as nets or alarms, but those suggestions were dismissed by city officials. The purpose of this committee is to find alternatives to the chain-link fences currently in place.

answer: They think maybe better alternatives should have been chosen or that the barriers aren't the best option.

answer: They think it is not effective in stopping people from jumping over the bridge.

answer: The neighbors oppose the fences primarily because they feel the barriers are ineffective at preventing suicide. Additionally, they believe the barriers are unattractive and the money could have been put toward a better solution.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe these fences.

answer: Chain-link fences designed to prevent suicides have been installed on both sides of Vista Bridge in Southwest Portland. The fences are 9 feet tall and have caused problems, including allowing people on the edge of the bridge to bypass them. The money originally allocated for the fences could have been better spent on a more effective solution, according to concerned neighbors. Solutions proposed include a locked gate that would allow emergency personnel to access people intent on jumping.

answer: They are 9-foot-high concrete walls that surround the Vista Bridge to prevent people from jumping off.

text: Additional detail could be added to this response to provide a better description of the bridge.

refinement: They are 9-foot-high concrete walls that surround the Vista Bridge to prevent people from jumping off. The fences are chain-link and are not aesthetic and block the beauty of the bridge.

answer: They are 9 feet high on both sides of the bridge.

text: Much more detail can be added to describe the fences. This response should be re-written.

answer: The chain-link fences on Vista Bridge are designed to prevent suicides. They are 9 feet tall and difficult to climb around, though people have managed to do so twice in recent months. Residents living near the bridge have expressed their displeasure with the installation of the fences. They had warned city officials that the barriers were not a sufficient protection, but city officials felt that the temporary solution would work in the meantime. The controversy around the fences remains, as there is disagreement on the best solution.

answer: They are 9 feet high and are installed on both sides of the bridge.

text: Additional detail can be added to improve this response.

refinement: They are 9 feet high and are installed on both sides of the bridge. The bridge is made of chain-link and is a very unaesthetic solution to the city's suicide problem.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Who are Kenneth and Bonnie Khan?

answer: They work at the bottom of the bridge and had witnessed a lot of people jumping from the bridge.

answer: Kenneth and Bonnie Khan are neighbors who begin calling out for suicide barriers when they see Bonnie witnesses a body being perched off the bridge.

text: This is an incorrect response and an accurate response needs to be constructed.

refinement: Kenneth and Bonnie Khan work at the bottom of the bridge and had witnessed a lot of people jumping from the bridge.

answer: Kenneth and Bonnie Kahn are concerned neighborhood residents who advocated for barriers at Vista Bridge to prevent suicides.

text: This is an incorrect response to the question and an accurate response needs to be generated.

refinement: Kenneth and Bonnie Kahn work at the bottom of the bridge and had witnessed a lot of people jumping from the bridge.

answer: Kenneth and Bonnie Kahn are citizens who had seen several suicides happen at Vista Bridge over a number of years. They advocated for the installation of suicide prevention fences around the bridge.

answer: Kenneth and Bonnie Khan are concerned neighbors and people who have seen "seven suicides in seven years" at the bottom of the bridge.

text: One aspect of this response is incorrect and needs to be corrected.

refinement: Kenneth and Bonnie Khan work under the bridge and have seen "seven suicides in seven years" at the bottom of the bridge.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: A group of concerned residents says that the suicide-prevention fences on Vista Bridge in Southwest Portland do not work, despite opponents' warnings. The barriers have allowed two individuals to jump, though both survived. The group hopes to find an aesthetic solution to replace the temporary barriers. Novick agrees to work with the committee and police are considering a locked gate to prevent another crises.

answer: Residents in the neighborhoods surrounding Vista Bridge say that the chain-link fences put up to prevent suicide in the area are not effective and warn city officials that they predicted this result. City officials say they will work on better solutions. One idea is to install a locked gate that would allow public safety personnel to more easily get to individuals on the other side of the fence.

answer: The city tries to stop suicide by putting chains on a vista bridge, which backfires when locals realize all someone has to do is walk or lower themselves over the edge. In the meantime, a group made up of architects and residents are collaborating to find a better solution. The last option is using a locked gate so police can reach anyone.

text: This response is pretty good but could include some additional detail about the disdain community members feel about the bridge and how they provided alternate suggestions.

refinement: The city tries to stop suicide by putting chains on a vista bridge, which backfires when locals realize all someone has to do is walk or lower themselves over the edge.

I'm 17 and free write frequently.

We were in a 30 foot catamaran about 75 miles off Port Elizabeth in South Africa. It was around 5:30 PM and the seas were calm. Things were much brighter than usual, much.. Better, id say. Like a more lit up world with nothing to worry about. All I could see was water. No land, no boats, just water all around. The only radio we had was to call local ships, but there were none. It was lifeless. Imagine swimming in a pool, that swishing sound as you move about walking the floor of the pool, the movement of the water rippling, that's all that I could hear. The two ballasts of the boat cut through the water like knives cutting butter. Tuna were breaching the water from time to time. Blue Wales were breeding at the surface of the ocean. It was wonderful. At around 12:00 I woke up to the constant slamming of the cabin door and wind whistling throughout the boat. We had a parachute anchor in the water to stabilize us as we went to sleep for the night. I went out of the cabin to see exactly what we were dealing with. I looked towards the stern of the boat and all I could see was water. The bow was slightly tilted out of the ocean and one of the stabilizers on the right side was cracked and close to breaking. I woke up my mate and we began bailing the boat, but for every 10 gallons we poured out, another 20 came in from a giant wave crashing over the side. I gave up. This was the end. We were 75 miles off the coast of a country whose language we can't even speak. Boats rarely go around the tip of Africa. It's a scary place to be at sea, all boaters know that. The wind switched directions and the boom of the boat quickly switched sides. I didn't have any time to duck and it hit me square in my left temple, knocking me unconscious and flipping the boat on its side. I woke up in the stern of the boat, tangled in the guard rail. The boat had managed to flip back upright. Water was to my knees and the cabin was completely flooded. The sails were torn down the middle and ribbon split down the side. Very difficult to patch. I couldn't find my mate. I looked around, looked in the cabin, in the water, nothing. I went to the bow of the boat and looked under. He was, thankfully, just sleeping in a liferaft. I woke him up and helped him get to his feet. His right leg was badly bruised and looked broken to my eyes. We tried our FM radio, but no one answered. Who knows how far we had drifted. For 10 days we struggled to survive. We ran out of water on the sixth. And food on the ninth. We were hungry, sick, burnt, and weak. We needed out. And we needed it soon. We aren't survivalists. This wasn't like the movies where you get lucky and catch a fish with a homemade hook. There were no boats coming for us. On the tenth day I climbed to the top of the mast and looked to the horizon. I saw land. Barely visible. But land. We ambled in life raft and paddled like hell. After a tiring four and a half hours of rowing, we finally arrived. It was a forest area. My first thought was, "oh great. A deserted island. Just what we need." But Josh, my mate, heard faint drumming coming from the Forrest. We followed it and it slowly got louder. It was a tribe. We were saved. Thank god. We approached the tribe in our battered, torn, and wet clothing, water and blood dripping from out clothes, thinking that there'd welcome us with open arms. None spoke English. Not one. I looked back. Turned my head.  And realized I was was looking into the barrel of a gun. All of this. All that we've been through. And it's over. Surviving a shipwreck, living through a treacherous storm, and this is how it ends. They blindfolded us. All we could see was darkness. "Hetsika!" He screamed. I didn't know what the hell that meant at the time but by the gun jabbing at my back my only thought was to walk.  He brought us in to what I thought was a tent, a small, worn down tent. The fabric felt that way at least. "Inside!" He said with a heavy African accent. He spoke English. That's a surprise. He took off our blindfolds. The floor was red. Stained red. Originally the color of sand. There was no posters on the wall. Only a form of art. Sick, inhumane, twisted art. Limbs of people, white people were nailed to every corner of the wall. Each arm was painted a color. "This is your future" he said. "Be excited. Be ready." You could see the blood trickling down the wall like rain on a windshield. "Empty your pockets my mate was the first to empty his. I quickly followed. He looked at my wallet. "Ahh American! That's good! Now I will have no regret." He was interrupted by a boy screaming. "I'll be back." He said. Our arms were tied behind our backs and our glens were tied together. Escaping would be hard, but never impossible. There was a glass bottle near the door, about 3 yards away. I stood up and hopped to it. I grabbed it with my teeth and dropped it on the ground. It shattered. I grabbed a shard of glass and sat back down. "I said stay put. You don't listen. "The man said as he walked through the door." "Which one of you filthy Americans did this." "Me" replied Josh. I looked at josh. He looked at me. "Come with me." He was hesitant to get up. "Now!" Demanded the man, grabbing him by the color and dragging him over the shards of broken glass. I got to work. Cutting down the rope with the small piece of glass I had. Arms were set free first, then the legs. I looked outside. My friend stood facing a wall, gun to his head. "If you can't listen, this is your fate" said the man followed by a loud gunshot. He faced me and began reloading his gun. I ran. I didn't stop. I ran for about an hour. I was in the jungle. Where was I. Was there anyone, at all. Anyone to set me free. I was hungry, thirsty, hurt, and for the first time in my life, completely alone.

text: Use of the word "manage" three times is bad style. Switch up your words a bit.

refinement: He's caught in a storm while out on the ocean with his friend. The boom of the boat hits him in the temple to knock him out. After the storm subsides, they survive with diminishing supplies for a while. There isn't anyone out there to save them until they see land after their food runs out. They reach it, only to be abducted by the hostile natives. The narrator manages to get free of the ropes binding him, but his friend sacrifices himself so that the narrator can escape.

The origin story is not exactly racist, but it does have hints of "Heart of Darkness." It's the sort of implicit bias we should be aware of

Africa is not like this

refinement: He's caught in a storm while out on the ocean with his friend. The boom of the boat hits him in the temple to knock him out. After the storm subsides, they survive with diminishing supplies for a while. There isn't anyone out there to save them until they see land after their food runs out. They reach it, only to be abducted by the hostile locals. The narrator manages to get free of the ropes binding him, but his friend sacrifices himself so that the narrator can escape. He escapes only to be left completely alone in the jungle.

answer: The minute the narrator starts to describe what happened on the eve of the shipwreck, he hits his temple pretty hard. He is so dazed he gets unconscious and the boat flips on its side. He wakes up at the stern which is now underwater. He can't find his mate but finds him in the boat. The crew is lucky they find civilization because they could have blown away in the storm wave. They run out of water and food in 10 days. That's the least of the problems. They keep drifting and the boat gets battered by strong rain and currents. The parachute anchor isn't strong enough to keep their little raft in place. The bailing process is not very successful. So beware and don't travel by boat.

text: Some narrative confusion here.

refinement: Just as the boat begins to fill with water, the narrator hits his temple pretty hard. He is so dazed he gets unconscious and the boat flips on its side. He wakes up at the stern which is now underwater. He can't find his mate but finds him in the boat. The crew is lucky they find civilization because they could have blown away in the storm wave.

text: Does not describe the end of the story

refinement: Just as the boat begins to fill with water, the narrator hits his temple pretty hard. He is so dazed he gets unconscious and the boat flips on its side. He wakes up at the stern which is now underwater. He survives with his mate on a life raft. They run out of water and food in 10 days. Then they come ashore, and find local residents who may help them. But instead the residents hold them captive and try to sacrifice them. The narrator escapes, but his friend sacrifices himself.

answer: The narrator is in a 30-foot catamaran 75 miles off of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. On the tenth day a storm causes a crack in the stabilizer and the boat begins taking on water. The subsequent rough waters cause the boat to flip, knocking the narrator unconscious and leaving them stranded. After 10 days the water and food runs out, and the narrator watches their friend get fatally shot. The narrator manages to escape and is lost in the woods.

answer: A giant wave crashing over the side of the boat causes it to sink. The only radio they have to call help is broken when it sinks with the boat, then their only mast was broken when it drifts back over to them and hits the guy in the head. Finally, they can see people and possibly help on land - but they are captured by a guy who they believe is going to kill them, until they escape.

answer: The narrator wakes up to find their catamaran in distress in the middle of the ocean. While bailing water, a wave capsizes them, the wind switches directions and damages the mast, knocking the narrator unconscious. The cabin floods and the sails are torn. They lose their mate, who is later found in a life raft. The boat drifts for 10 days with no water or food before reaching African land. The tribe captures them and prepares to execute them, but the narrator escapes. Their friend is shot, but the narrator escapes into the jungle where they are left to fend for themselves.

For all the hand-wringing missives about the internet replacing actual human interaction, it seems that reports of conversation's demise are greatly exaggerated—at least when it comes to brand awareness. "Many marketers today use social media as an early indicator of their marketing performance," said Ed Keller, president of Engagement Labs, which conducted the survey. "However, looking only at online social data is like driving 60 mph at night with only a flashlight. In doing that, you're probably going to make a lot of mistakes. The fact is, a major part of the sales impact from word of mouth comes from offline conversation."

Learn More About The CRA Snitchline

The CRA Informant Leads Program (aka “The CRA Snitch Line”) allows people to report tax fraud in Canada. Using the CRA snitch line, you ca

n report deliberate misrepresentations of income and deductions to the Canada Revenue Agency. In most cases, the Informant Leads Program handles tax cases involving individuals.

For example, you can contact the program to provide information on the “underground economy,” meaning individuals who are earning unreported (and therefore untaxed) income.

HOW DOES THE LINE WORK?

Anyone can report suspected tax evasion by phone, online or through the mail. The information will be reviewed and assessed by the CRA and the Agency will respond as it deems necessary. Those who report to the Informant Leads Program will not be provided with feedback on the tips that are provided as it is prohibited by law for the CRA to do so.

The CRA will protect the identity of anyone who provides information to the leads program. By legal obligation, the CRA cannot even provide any information that may disclose that there is an informant at all.

Once information has been provided to the so-called “CRA Snitch Line,” this information cannot be recalled or cancelled. All information is reviewed and valid allegations may be investigated.

There is no monetary reward or compensation for reporting information to the CRA Informant Leads Program. However, a separate program, the Offshore Tax Informant Program, may provide monetary awards to those who report on major international tax non-compliance cases that lead to taxes being assessed and collected if the potential assessment is greater than $100,000.

WHEN REPORTING

If you wish to report information to the Informant Lead Program, the CRA requests that you provide as many details about the individual and the situation as you can. The agency recognizes that not all information will be available.

In addition to information regarding the identity of the taxpayer being reported on, the CRA will want to know the type of fraud that is suspected, details of any observations you have made, any documents that may be available, as well as information regarding cash and other assets.

IF SOMEONE REPORTS ON YOU

While you will not know that the tax information that the CRA has was provided to the agency by an informant, the CRA will investigate all valid allegations and take action as necessary. If the CRA believes that you have committed tax evasion, it will utilize its very broad powers to investigate and punish you.

Among other powers, the CRA can:

-   Issue fines and penalties
-   Garnish wages or take other action to collect tax debt owed
-   Refer cases to the courts for criminal prosecution

The severity of the consequences will depend on the nature of the specific situation. If you worry that you may be prosecuted by the CRA for tax fraud, or if the CRA has already contacted you regarding tax fraud, tax evasion, or misrepresentation, please contact us today at 1-888-868-1400 to speak with a qualified professional at Tax Solutions Canada.

I know a girl who lives in a house with some friends of mine, I can't tell you her real name but we'll call her Mary. Smooth pale skin, almost white, and short brown hair, long slender arms and fingers and a neck like a length of PVC pipe. She's beautiful in the same way that the alien girl from the Fifth Element is beautiful, kind of fucked up but still sexy. I've been round at the house a few times, my sister lives there with one guy studying pharmacy and another guy I knew in school. I'm sitting with my sister and old mate, the pharmacy guy is in his room probably jacking it over Skyrim. Mary pops into the kitchen and sees us, says hello, and then disappears into her own bedroom. She's watching documentaries. She's shy.
	“That Mary” I say to Daniel, “She's pretty cute. She's a real cutie-pie.”
	“Yeah she's great. She's a smart cookie, but got some weird shit going on though. Really fucked up shit.” He shakes his head.
My sister looks ominously at Daniel and me. My sister is a really good girl.
	“I don't think we should talk about Mary.” she says to us, decisively like she's holding a gun under the table pointed at our junk. “She's having a hard time at the moment.”
Daniel sucks on a beer and rubs his jaw. There's some disgusting blond facial hair clinging to his cheeks, chin and neck. It looks like sparse pubic hair on a tight scrot. I told him these exact words because I'm his mate but he ignored me. He thinks he looks like Tim Rogers. He doesn't heed the warning look from my sister.
	“It's been hectic here man,” he tells me. “All kinds of people trying to get in to talk to Mary. People in suits and-” my sister cuts him off.
	“Daniel, the last thing Mary needs is more people causing a fuss about it! Just drop it!”
I'm pretty interested now because it sounds like personal dramas, and there's a chance we'll get talking about Mary's pert breasts or maybe she's having sex with a woman these days. I dig stuff like that.
	“What's the story?” I ask Daniel. We ignore my sister's complaints.
	“All these people have been showing up, trying to get information about Mary, medical people and lawyers and shit. I don't know who they are. Anyway they're all trying to get their hands on Mary because she laid an egg the other week.” He shrugs his shoulders innocently. This is too much for my sister.
	“FUCK Daniel! You don't even know what happened yourself, don't talk about this stuff, it's absolutely nothing to do with us, not to mention just plain rude when Mary can probably hear us talking about her!”
	“Wait, what do you mean she laid an egg?” I ask Daniel.
	“Mary can't hear us from her room, relax.” He says to my sister, then turns to me with a blank expression on his face. “She laid a fucking egg man, I don't know. She went in to the hospital and they helped her deliver an egg.”
	“What, like a chicken egg?”
	“No it was a bit bigger.”
My sister gets up with a resigned look on her face and shuts the door between the kitchen and the hallway, then pours a vodka and tops it up with ice and soda water. She has it pretty strong. She gives up trying to stop Daniel talking about Mary's egg. I'm still not getting it at this point.
	“Was it like a duck egg or a goose egg or something? Is that some sex thing that people do?”
	“No, no they don't know what it was. They've never seen an egg like it before. Nobody could identify it, they had bird scientists and all sorts of people on the case.”
	“They're called ornithologists,” my sister corrects him like she's slapping a child. “They called them in when Mary couldn't explain the egg and ran some tests on it. From what we've heard it didn't match anything that we know about.” She sips her drink sadly. I can tell she's worried about Mary. She's a good girl, my sister. Daniel is rolling a joint but he's not very good at it. He keeps spilling chop all over the table in front of him, then picking it up bit by bit. He continues the story.
	“Anyway the doctors let Mary go home because there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her, but she's been recommended counselling and some other therapy and shit just in case.” He licks the paper he's holding and rolls it thoughtfully. “The strangest part is that Mary asked for the egg back. She kept it.”
We sit in silence for about twenty seconds, digesting this information. My sister has just started to speak when the door opens and Mary comes in. She seems oblivious to our conversation and goes to the refrigerator and gets out a bowl of leftover fettuccine carbonara.
	“Hey how is university going?” I ask her, more to break the tension than from any real interest. I know that she is studying to be a nurse and that she hasn't made many friends at school. I feel sort of sorry for her in a way, I know she's intelligent but she seems sort of lonely as well. Plus, she's got an egg now. Mary puts the bowl in the microwave.
	“Uni is fine,” she tells me distractedly. “I go on placement next month, I'm a little bit worried about it but it will probably be very interseting.” The conversation falls flat like a cool kid tripping over a box of VHS tapes. Mary is standing behind Daniel who sits facing me. He silently mouths the sentence “ask her about the egg” with his eyebrows raised. My sister starts to offer Mary a drink but she declines.
	“What are you watching in your room? A documentary?” I ask her, trying to remain tactful in spite of Daniel's suggestions.
	“Can we see your egg?” He spurts out before she can answer me. He's like the conversational equivalent of premature ejaculation at a funeral. We're all in stunned silence, I'm on the verge of giddy laughter. My sister punches Daniel right in the solar plexus, hard.
	“Why are you a dick?” She practically shouts at him. That punch winded him though and he just keels over in his chair gasping and looks up at me with irrepressible mirth in his eyes. She's right though, he is a dick. Mary turns to the sink silently, I think she's probably going to cry. My sister is shaking her head in her hands. The microwave beeps loudly. That carbonara smells fantastic. My sister gets up and puts her arm around Mary but the girl darts out of the embrace and flits through the open door.
	“Mary, wait!” My sister calls after her and turns to leave. She throws a baleful glare in our direction before she exits.
	“What the fuck is wrong with you? That hurt.” Daniel wheezes after her. When he can breathe again he leans back and gets the bowl of carbonara out of the microwave.
	“I've seen the egg, you know.” He tells me. I'm pretty interested. “I had to sneak into her room because she won't let it out of her sight. She was asleep and it was resting on a pile of her clean laundry.”
	“You're pretty disgusting man.” I tell him. He just shrugs. He puts the poorly rolled joint between his lips and lights it.
	“It's a nice looking egg.” He says.

refinement: Mary was a girl who looked extraordinary but still sexy. In the story, she seems to be going through a troublesome time; she's in between studying to become a nurse and has a mysterious egg she happened to give birth to. Daniel becomes nosey about Mary's business and asks to see her egg, which ultimately upsets her.

Mary is, however, also shy and has few friends. She seems lonely.

answer: According to the story, Mary laid an egg and this has drawn attention from medical professionals and lawyers. The egg is unusual in that no one knows what type of egg it is. While this has caused some concern and was stressful for Mary, she also asked to get the egg back from the hospital.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about Daniel and the narrator?

answer: The story paints Daniel and the narrator as disrespectful and insensitive to Mary's feelings. The two are focused more on Mary's egg than her and her emotional state, despite knowing that Mary is suffering. They both ignore their friend and sister's warnings, with Daniel being outright rude. The story portrays them both as inconsiderate and insensitive.

text: The story does not portray the narrator as insensitive as his friend Daniel. Even though they are nosey in Mary's business and perverted, the narrator is more sensitive and considerate than Daniel about Mary's feelings. The model needs to be more accurate with its answer.

refinement: The narrator and his friend Daniel are intrigued by Mary. Daniel informs the narrator about Mary's egg and doesn't care about her emotions. Daniel and the narrator both ignore the narrator's sister's warnings regarding discussing Mary, with Daniel being outright rude. Daniel is more insensitive, inconsiderate, and perverted than the narrator.

answer: The narrator discusses Mary with Daniel, whom they know due to living with Mary in the same house. Daniel says that Mary had an egg, he doesn't know where it came from but she delivered and kept it. He tries to prod her about it to the annoyance of the narrator and the sister. Finally, she starts speaking, but Daniel asks her about the egg, and that pushes her to the verge of crying, causing the sister to dash over to her. sister walks away looking displeased. We finally see that Daniel and the narrator wonder what's wrong with Daniel.

text: The model's response indicates that the narrator was annoyed by his friend Daniel for asking Mary about her egg and making her cry when the story indicates the narrator's sister was annoyed about his behaviour, while the narrator indulged him. The response also states that Mary began crying after Daniel asked about her egg. These sentences are incorrect and should be according to the story.

refinement: The narrator discusses Mary with Daniel, whom they know due to living with Mary in the same house. Daniel says that Mary had an egg, he doesn't know where it came from but she delivered and kept it. When they see her, Daniel tries to prod the narrator to ask her about it to the annoyance of the narrator's sister. Finally, she starts speaking, and when Daniel asks her about the egg, Mary gets upset and leaves their presence, causing the narrator's sister to dash over to her. sister walks away looking displeased.

text: The response begins a sentence with a small letter. Also, it's uncertain which sister the model is referring to. The answer needs to be more specific and appropriately constructed.

Daniel says that Mary had an egg, he doesn't know where it came from, but she delivered and kept it. When they see her, Daniel tries to prod the narrator to ask her about it to the annoyance of the narrator's sister. Finally, she starts speaking, and when Daniel asks her about the egg, Mary gets upset and leaves their presence, causing the narrator's sister to dash over to her. The narrator's sister walks away from the boys looking displeased.

answer: The story indicates that both Daniel and the narrator are unsympathetic characters and have no regard for the feelings of others. For Daniel, this manifests in talking inappropriately about Mary and her personal matters, while the narrator is interested in the drama of the egg despite knowing that it might upset or hurt Mary.

text: The model describes the narrator as unsympathetic, which is incorrect. This is because the story clearly shows the narrator being sympathetic toward Mary and her circumstance. The answer should indicate that Daniel is particularly inconsiderate and unsympathetic toward Mary.

refinement: The story indicates the narrator, even though nosey and quite perverted, is more sympathetic toward Mary than his friend Daniel, who is inconsiderate, rude and has no regard for the feelings of others. Daniel manifests this behaviour in talking inappropriately about Mary and her personal matters, even in her presence. Although the narrator is interested in the drama of the egg despite knowing that it might upset or hurt Mary, he acknowledges that Daniel is a jerk.

answer: Daniel and the narrator seem to be good friends. They are gossiping about a girl named Mary. Apparently, she laid an egg.

text: The response is vague and doesn't fully describe Daniel and the narrator. The model should rework this answer for thorough understanding.

refinement: Daniel and the narrator seem to be good friends. They discuss Mary, a girl living in the same house with the narrator's sister and their friends. Daniel says that Mary had an egg, he doesn't know where it came from, but she delivered and kept it.

answer: The narrator and Daniel both sit in the kitchen together trying to make conversation. They know the girl they call Mary a bit because her sister lives in the same house. They are curious about her because they think she's cute. They feel like they have a chance to get talking about Mary's outside assets by asking Daniel about Mary. The story suggests that being curious about others is something fun for them because it's easy to hook others in and make them curious as well.

text: The model mentions that the boys like being curious about people and use it to make others curious. The answer also says they know Mary because her sister lives in the same house, which is incorrect. The response can be better if accurately constructed.

refinement: The narrator and Daniel both sit in the kitchen, trying to make conversation. They know a little about a strange girl called Mary because the narrator's sister lives in the same house as her. The narrator is curious about her because he thinks she's cute. Daniel then informs the narrator that Mary had an egg, he doesn't know where it came from, but she delivered and kept it.

text:
The ceiling was white. Jon was lying on a hospital bed, about to be wheeled into surgery. Jon was no stranger to surgery as he had been though dozens of life altering cut-ups, he did have a problem however with “the gas”. “Sleeping Gas” as it is known colloquially, is known medically as general anesthesia, which is used to induce a coma during surgery. Jon hated the “gas”, he was afraid of it.

“I don’t like it, Ma” Jon said.

“I know, Jon. But you have to. I already asked and the surgeon said he’d be uncomfortable with you just being under L.A.”

L.A. or local anesthesia, much like the city it shares its acronym with, renders its patients physicality unresponsive, devoid of sensation, but ironically conscious. Jon had attempted to negotiate that his surgeries be done with nothing but L.A, to escape the “gas”.

“What is the problem with the G.A. anyway? Isn’t it just like going to sleep?” Jon’s father asked brusquely.

“Pa. It terrorizes me because it is so unlike sleep. You know when you take a nap or wake up the next morning, you are fully conscious of the fact that time has passed? With G.A, there’s like a gap in your existence. It’s like you died for the duration of your surgery and brought back to life. I don’t like it.” Jon mused.

Soon after, the Anesthesiologist arrived, she was there to ask some procedural questions like what prescription drugs Jon had been taking, if Jon had eaten anything six hours before, et cetera et cetera. Jon knew all the answers by hard, he had been though this countless times. Jon’s mother however, attempted to facilitate an abrupt discussion surrounding “the gas”. Jon played along but in truth he knew what the answers were. So while she went on and on about how harmless it was, and how there were no long term physical repercussions…et cetera, et cetera. Jon began panicking about the repercussions to his psyche, he had terrible memories surrounding “the gas”, namely more dangerous and life threatening surgeries he underwent as a child.

Soon it was time to be rolled into the operating theater. Jon’s sympathy party stood up to say goodbye.

“You have nothing to be afraid of Jon! It’s only knee surgery! Nothing vital or life threatening this time!” John’s father exclaimed.

“MY GOD. Does no one get IT?!” Jon thought as he entered the theater.

Jon’s fear was palpable now. The nurses in the operating theater hooked Jon up to the medical apparatus that transformed his vital signs into a series of lines and beeps.

“ Are you afraid or nervous Jon?” the nursed asked.

“No. Why?” Jon fibbed.

“Then why is your heart rate so high?” she replied pointed at the screen making successive beeps.

“No idea.” Jon falsifying again.

“ ‘Sup Jon! How’re we doing today?” Jon’s orthopedic surgeon pronouncing his arrival.

Jon liked him; definitely liked him enough to forgive him for denying the request for no “gas”. Jon replied with further fabrications surrounding his state of mind and false fortitude.

With the arrival of his surgeon, it was time for surgery to begin. It was time for “the gas”. Now Jon had finally begun to resign himself to this, he took a deep breath and steeled himself for death. Jon heard the twist of a valve, a rush of air, the cacophony of beeps as the mask loomed over his face, and then all was darkness.

***

Then Jon awoke. The ceiling was still white.

text:
The morning light shines through my window, hitting my face, bringing me back in to consciousness. I throw off my duvet cover, and the cats jumped off the bed in surprise. I have my fuzzy robe on within the minute, and after making my bed, my journey to the bathroom begins.

Brush teeth, wash face, comb hair. The morning routine has been drilled into my head for ages. But I like it that way. Orderly.  Routine. I start to make my way back to my bedroom, pausing at the first doorway on my left. It was the twin's room. A bunk bed in the corner, the top with a bright pink blanket, the bottom with a baby blue one. Toys scattered the floor, a half-full glass of dark red juice sitting on the bed-side table. I pick up the worn, stuffed rabbit from the carpet, feeling the threads, barely holding together. It was once my toy, but it was given my sister. No one ever asked me if I was okay with that, they just assumed I was finished with such childish things. I never liked the rabbit anyway, toys seem like a waste of time. I walk over to the dresser, running my finger along the edge of it, gazing at my reflection in the mirror on the wall. My dark hair falls just past my shoulders, contrasting the pale skin and light green eyes I inherited from my mother.

I softly close the door behind me as I exit the room, making my way to the next one. My eldest brother's room is even more messy than the twin's. Clothes and books and magazines and pens and CDs and game controllers and posters everywhere. They scattered the now-invisible floor and futon bed and red walls, like a collage of my brother and everything he was. The CDs he had bought at a yard sale last weekend lay piled beside the bed. A picture had been thrown to the ground, ripped in two. He had recently been broken up with, and seemed very distraught over it. I don't understand his emotions. Why would he feel sad about someone who didn't want him anyway? I slam his door as I leave, it had been difficult to close ever since him and my father had been playfully wrestling and broke through it. I remember it sounded like a gunshot, or at least what I thought a gunshot sounded like at the time. So loud and out of place.

The next door was to my parent's room. My mother had tried to keep it orderly, the effort was evident. Clothes folded, but never put away. A small garbage can in the corner, but it hadn't been changed in so long it had begun to overflow. Both had worked 9-5 jobs and had four children to raise - so keeping a neat room was not a priority. I lay down on the their cozy, king-sized bed, with its deep red comforter and silky white sheets. I could smell my mother's favourite perfume and my father's aftershave that my brother had bought for his birthday. Amateur hand-drawn pictures by my siblings lined the walls, maybe to remind the two that they had something to get up in the morning for. I slowly closed the door to the room, to avoid that irritating creaking sound it made.

As I enter my own room, I feel the breeze come in from the open window, blowing my hair behind me. Most of my room is white, the colour always looks neat. I gaze around at my books, all ordered alphabetically. At the bedside table, where my alarm clock and lamp are placed flawlessly parallel to each other. At the closet, where the transparent curtain covering it revealed the neatly hung clothes within. At the desk, where not a single thing is out of place. Perfection.

Hunger hits me suddenly, and I hang a sharp right outside my door to go downstairs. I ignore the sticky wetness under my feet as I put some bread in the toaster. I stare out at the cloudy sky through the window over the sink, an airplane speeds across and a flock of birds land in a  nearby tree. Sometimes I feel like I'm a bird - floating through life, often with no direction, no feeling. The popping toast breaks the perfect silence that had fallen over my house. I eat it plain, my hunger wouldn't allow for any more delay. I finish the toast, and sigh, my stomach finally satisfied. I feel content.

I turn around and look at the family kitchen. Red smears the walls, the cupboards, the counters, the floors. And the four bodies on the floor. Their faces and clothes and skin all covered with that ruby red substance. Some dishes and cutlery lay scattered with them, knocked down in the struggle. The colour coats the fallen items and people, blending them all together. Red. So much red.
A scream pierces the air, breaking that beautiful silence once more. A look of horror on our neighbour's face as she walked into the kitchen; I forgot she was coming by to pick up her casserole dish. I sat down in the crimson and ran my fingers through it as she sobbed into the telephone, summoning emergency services. I don't see what the emergency is - there's no saving those who are gone.

**Is it clear in the end that she is the one who killed them? In the last line, I am trying to show that she is emotionally "gone", and her family in gone in that they are dead. I also tried to have the colour red a few different times in the story. How do I make it better? Also need a title. Thanks for any help!**

title: Have to write a short story for English class, need feedback! (887 words)

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What nonverbal and unwritten/unspoken indication is there that the narrator is responsible for the deaths?

answer: No answer

answer: One would be the words," I sat down in the crimson and ran my fingers through it as she sobbed into the telephone, summoning emergency services." The deaths are significant enough and the narrator seems to have coolly accepted the situation.

text: "What nonverbal and unwritten/unspoken indication" means nothing from the article can be used as an answer.

answer: Throughout the passage, there are many indications that the narrator is responsible for the deaths. The narrator shows indifference to the deaths of her family members (twin, brother, parents), as evidenced by the lack of concern over the brother's messy room, the ruined picture, and her bitterness at the gifting of her toy. She also expresses a lack of emotion for her family members by wandering through the house and their rooms after their murder. The final indication of involvement is the fact that she walked into the kitchen covered in blood, calmly running her fingers through it.

text: "What nonverbal and unwritten/unspoken indication" means nothing from the article can be used as an answer.

answer: The only indication that the narrator is responsible for the deaths of her family members is that she is the only person present when the neighbour arrives to pick up her dish (while everyone else is deceased). Additionally, she had "touched" the red on the walls and floor before the neighbour arrived and she seems generally unaffected by the news of their death. Considering the story has focused on her being "perfect" and orderly, and she shows little emotion upon hearing that her family is dead, the indication seems to be that she is responsible for their deaths.

text: "What nonverbal and unwritten/unspoken indication" means nothing from the article can be used as an answer.

answer: They are completely calm about the carcasses.

text: "What nonverbal and unwritten/unspoken indication" means nothing from the article can be used as an answer.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

One of two things will probably happen next. What are these likely possibilities?

answer: The possible next scenario is that she will be convicted of killing her family, and sentenced to life in prison or death. Alternatively, the family may have been killed by a stranger assailant, and she helplessly witnessed the event.

text:
The concept of a stranger assailant ignores the author's notes at the end which fully confirm that the narrator is the killer.

Emergency services were called by the neighbor, so before anything else happens, first responders and law enforcement will be arriving at the scene. Any possible "next" scenario that happens should involve any of the following characters: the girl, the neighbor, the police.

refinement: One possibility is that the before the police arrive, neighbor eventually realizes that the girl killed the family and so, the neighbor will run away. One other possibility is that the neighbor will keep presuming that the girl is the only survivor of an attack, the police will arrive, and they will be the ones to realize that the girl is the killer.

answer:
The narrator is likely the murderer of their family members, or law enforcement will catch her and she will be in prison or undergoing psychological treatment.

The story tells the progression of someone falling into violence and bloodshed. The final scene with the family members on the floor covered in red strongly implies that the narrator is responsible for their deaths. It is possible that law enforcement will catch her and she will be put through psychological treatment. However, the chance of her being the perpetrator is most likely.

text: The author's notes clearly state that the narrator is the killer, so any narrative that questions the guilt of the narrator is not usable.

refinement: Law enforcement will catch her and she will be in prison or undergoing psychological treatment.

answer: The narrator will either be taken to jail because the neighbor is calling the police, or they will murder the neighbor, as well.

answer:
There will be a response to the initial discovery of the dead family members. One of the scenarios is that police come to the house on an investigation. Another option is that both of the discoveries are connected. For example, the narrator has no reaction. If a neighbor had been there, that would've pulled the neighbor's attention to the family either being victims of some external event or evil. It's also possible that the narrator is so traumatized from whatever happened that she can't cope with reality when she simply can't accept or manage the suddenness of their deaths.
Alternatively, a triggering event might come from neighbors or family. This is when a line or two were changed or two could be added to the end.
The narrator must have been the one who committed the murders. One option to make the ending click is for us to say that the dead family members are the narrator's family. However, it could also be stated that the narrator didn't have other family members and that the neighbor enters and finds the narrator in the kitchen. It's also possible that another person enters the house and finds the narrator.

text: It is already narratively certain that the narrator killed them and the writer wants to make this obvious to the readers early on. No hypothetical should have the identity of the killer as something in question.

refinement: There will be a response to the initial discovery of the dead family members. One of the scenarios is that police come to the house on an investigation. Another option is that both of the discoveries are connected. For example, the narrator has no reaction. If a neighbor had been there, that would've pulled the neighbor's attention to the family either being victims of some external event or evil. It's also possible that the narrator is so traumatized from whatever happened that she can't cope with reality when she simply can't accept or manage the suddenness of their deaths.

answer: Someone might come over to the house to investigate, then call the police. Especially because the narrator herself is not concerned about her family's death. It may be mentioned in the story that she has mental issues. Alternatively, if she is found out, it may have a more dramatic resolution--this survivor guilt will then explode within her and blast her mind, which would probably make a lot for a story. Of course, the simplest explanation is that she's just psychotic. Whichever route the writer wants to take, there needs to be enough evidence to make the reader question themselves.

text: This ignores the ending scene where the neighbor arrives, sees the bodies, screams, and calls the police.

refinement: The police arrive. Because the narrator herself is not concerned about her family's death, it may be mentioned in the story that she has mental issues. Alternatively, if she is found out, it may have a more dramatic resolution--this survivor guilt will then explode within her and blast her mind, which would probably make a lot for a story.

Whom does the narrator look like?
