story
My mother burst into tears and stamped her feet angrily. In a flash, she ran towards our home. Robert and scores of customers and other idlers ran after her. *It was a race for the fastest* and none could outrun my offended mother. I leaned on the counter and began to cry. I heard my father sigh.
