Authors Note: This is a prediction piece about how people can change due to the short story, Thank You Maam.
She led him down the hall to the front door and opened it. "Goodnight!" Behave yourself, son!" she said, looking out into the street.
The boy wanted to say something else other that "Thank you, ma’am" to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, but he couldn’t do so as he turned at the barren stoop and looked back at the large woman in the door. He barely managed to say "Thank you" before she shut the door.
Roger ran up the stairs and gave three rough knocks on the door. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones had slightly opened the door. Roger Said, “Maam thank you for what you did.” She replied, “Roger, no problem, Roger next time if you try I will call the cops.” Mrs. Jones said, “Maam there will not be a next time, my stealing days are over.” He replied, “Alright good night now and you be safe out there.” Roger started to walk down the street back to his home which was a box at the city park up against a brick wall. He was all alone thinking about if she done that to everybody who tried to rob her.
All of a sudden a masked gunman, aggressively grabbed Roger and threw him in to his white van full of rust.The man got him the van and drove the block in to a dark ally. Roger was looking for his ten dollar bill, to pay off the kidnapper. The man took off his mask, it was his stealing partner Desean. They drove up to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones’s house just around the corner. Desean said that he had been scouting this house for a week. He had handed Roger a berretta handgun. They both got out of the van and Roger dropped the gun and said that he would rather die than kill an innocent woman who had changed his life in way that he could not pay back for her being so generous. Then stomping down the street in anger he left to let Desean make the decision to go to jail, die, or turn his life around.
