4. Exposition
The man whom I presumed was a butcher
pointed and barked to the old man like a
master to slave. The old man did not shudder.
Instead, he smiled. He must be crazy, I
thought. Noticing no nuisance on the old
man’s countenance, the butcher looking man
pushed him over to the side of the road,
leaving him wounded. There came another
clap of thunder. The truck zoomed off. Never
taking my eyes off the old man, I parked my
car close by.
5. Rising Action
The rain poured harder and I could barely see
what surrounded me. My instincts told me to
carry the old man to the car, quickly. I am very
afraid. Loraine hated it when I was late. It had
happened many times before. She had left
me once because of the notion that I never
spent time with her. I promise to change and
be more available. I was about to break that
promise, on New Year’s Eve.
6. Climax
I dropped him in the side of road. I left him alone. I
started my car when I had strange feeling that this
man needed food. His image came to mind - a
wrinkled face sucked in, revealing thin flesh and
protruding bones.
7. Falling Action
Reversing my car, I swerved into the lane
where Agus was. I found him sitting under a
plastic bag, next to a flaming can. I contained
my feeling of shock and surprise. Finally, I
invited to have a dinner in my house although
I know that Loraine will be angry.
8. Resolution
I was parking my car in my garage. My
heartbeat at that very moment was louder that
the engine. With folded arms and a tapping
foot, my wife gawked at me like a hawk, never
blinking. I introduced Agus to her. She is little
bit angry but when I told to her about him. My
wife was crying when he heard Agus sang a
song without words, music never heard of
before, yet somewhat heavenly.
