Reverse Writing

For this assignment we suppose to choose a photo from Bill Sullivan's Turnstile Photography Project and write a short story about that person. The short was to narrate what happened either before or after they passed through the trunstile.

_____Andrea woke up early to study for a test. She was a good student, she wanted to be a socialogist. Before Andrea started to study she got dressed, washed up in the bathroom and put on her hijab. After she ate a small breakfast of a bagel and orange juice. While she was eating she began to study and lost track of time. Two hours into studying, she gets a phone call from Jessie, her best friend.

"Where are you? Your were suppose to meet me at Starbucks to help me study, remember?"

"I'm so sorry. I started studying and lost track of time. There's still time I'm on my way."

Andrea closed her notebook and headed for the door to her apartment. She immediatly turns around to grab her notebook.

"I can't forget this." And rushes out the door.

She runs to the stairs and takes them down two at a time. The station was two blocks from the apartment. Andrea waited patiently to cross the busy street. She made her way across the street and quickly headed for the station. Andrea rushed down the stairs. A few feet from the turnstile, she got another call from Jessie.

"I'm almost there. I'm about to get on the train."

She could hear Jessie crying. As she went through the turnstile she asks:
"Jessie what's wrong?"
