Intro. Indept. piece #5

Water towers make me cry. I’m scared of them. They’re these huge towers that can drown you and it’s just creepy. I spelled out my fear of water towers in this piece. This kid benevolently climbs in hoping to cool off and is locked in. I’m also afraid of being in water in the dark. If I’m drowning no one can see me. Its a little detail, but I haven’t written anything about black people, so this was a first. Don’t worry though, I’m not going to write anymore stories about little black boys drowning in water towers, or at least I don’t think I will.
