It was a sunny, cloudless, hot day in New York City . And Alfred Brooks a tall slender black young man was on his way to work at the Mini Mart that he now owns. He walks to work not because he doesn’t have enough money but because it reminds him of when he was younger. As he had done since he was 15 years old. He had co me a long way, when he started working at the mini mart he was just a box boy. He now owns the store. The Mini Mart is right in the middle of New York City on Broadway and is across the street from the ESPN restaurant. It is a very busy place with thousands of people walking and shopping. Alfred has greatly improved the store’s outer appearance as well as it’s inner appearance. He put advertise me nts in the windows about concerts, music festivals and up coming sports events and he made the inside neat and clean. It was a store that welco me d it’s customers Becca was walking down the street when she saw the Mini Mart that her old friend used to work at and she thought she would check it out and see if he still worked there. Her old friend’s na me was Alfred Brooks.. She hadn’t seen her for many years. She was a little nervous about seeing him because the last ti me they had seen each other they had gotten into a fight about his views on the holocaust. She was mad about his lack of knowledge about the holocaust. She saw how afraid her grandmother was of even talking about the horrible things that she had seen and experienced. So seeing Alfred talking sofreely and openly about the holocaust made her very upset. She put all of their past disagreements aside and walked in the door. Alfred looked around when she walked in the door to see who had co me into the store and he was astonished and pleased when hesaw who it was. Alfred yelled out “Hey Becca” and ran over to give her a hug. With agasp of surprise at his warm hug she said hello quietly . She didn’t quite know what to say so she just said” hay” back Alfred was so shocked to see her he was at a loss for words the only thing he could think of was their last meeting and the fight they had so before she could say anything else he said “ im so sorry for what I said the last time we saw each other I was wrong to think I know more than I do about the holocaust” Becca said “it is ok we were young and we didn’t know better but now u can see why I Was so upset” “yes” said Albert after that short conversation the air got lighter around them and all the tension was gone . They started reminiscing about old memories of when they were younger. And then suddenly Becca said “ oh my gosh look at the time? Im supposed to be meeting one of my friends in five minuets! Albert said “well than I guess you better go ,it was so nice to see u. “it was nice to see u to, well goodbye” “goodbye” said Alfred and Becca walked out the door ..
