Night at the Snack Bar

Intended for audiences between 13 and 18. The purpose of this piece is to observe someone and form a story or make conclusions based on what is seen on the outside from a third person point of view.

It was late at night and today was the day that we all agreed to watch one of our friend’s soccer games. Although it was a cold day outside, that did not madder to us because we would be going to an indoor field where it was covered up, nice and warm. It was moments after we got there, just as we were about to enter the stadium and take our seats, that I saw her.

Her name was Vicky and she was no more than twenty-eight years old. She had been working at that snack shop for over ten years and still looked very happy with her job. Many may ask why but I think it’s mainly because she enjoys helping and seeing people happy. She and her family moved to Toronto about twenty years ago but that was a really long time ago. Now she has a family and lives in a condominium with them. Her husband is a well paid banker while both of her children (two girls and one boy) are still in elementary school. Other then working at the snack shop, when Vicky has free time, she likes to take her children sightseeing around the city and mostly spend time with her family. She looked extremely happy doing what she was doing and she didn’t seem to have or cause any problems with her customers either. Her daily routine was usually the same thing; get up and out of bed, go to work until eight and then spend the rest of the time with her family. She didn’t really have any problems with this routine and as we saw when her family came in to pick her up after, neither did they.
