Promises
We all have made a promise or two during our lives. I feel like we've all had to break a promise or two in our lives, most of the time not because we want to, but because something happens in our lives that prevent us from keeping that promise. My mother used to tell me to, "never make a promise that you can't keep" and so I've tried hard to live my life by those words. This excerpt revolves around a promise made by one man to his girlfriend, and her determination that he's going to keep it. See how she handles it and if you would do something differently, but mostly please enjoy this "Sounds of Tomorrow" excerpt.
Book Excerpt
Sounds of Tomorrow
“I know, I know,” Barry said holding his hands up in front of him. “Just don’t fault me for wanting to spend a little time with my girl.”
“I don’t fault you for that, you goof. However, you need to listen to me. You made a promise to help with this. If you don’t keep this promise then I’m not sure that I can ever trust any of your promises. We promised and I want to help my friend and prevent someone from losing their life. How would you feel seeing her in the paper, knowing her name, knowing that she was dead and you didn’t do anything to stop it, even though you promised that you would? What if it were me you were reading about? How would you feel then, Barry?”
