Wandering around Kathleen looked around her,she was in a strange part of town for her but her friends had told her about a club near here countless times 'The Dirty Disco' Weird name but she still had said she'd meet them there tonight.She'd went with a casual look for it,choosing black ripped jeans,purple tank top,purple high heels and a purple and black bracelet and earring and necklace set.Taking a short cut down the next alley she came to hoping it would take her to the club.Calm down Kathleen your nearly there I'm sure.Just breathe you will get there really soon.Stopping to a halt Kathleen listened closely to the sounds around her.Faintly hearing footsteps behind her she picked up her pace and started running threw the alleyways but each time she did the footsteps got louder and closer to her.Stopping she turned round and faced this following stranger 'Okay I don't know who you are but would you stop following me! It's just not right!' Without looking back she started to walk again but she didn't get far because a hand gabbed her by the elbow and spun her round 'Give me all your money right now or else.' Showing a calm face but really feeling so so scared deep down she replied 'Or else? What are you going to do poke me till I drop?' Narrowing his eyes he pulled a knife out and held it to her throat 'I said all your money NOW' Gulping Kathleen fumbled around in her bag but came out with nothing 'I...I don't have my purse I'm sorry I don't have it..' The knife pressed into her throat and was dragged across slowing.Barely aware of falling to the ground Kathleen reviewed her life over the past few years:Her birthdays,her graduation,her parents deaths.Everything that happened to her.Slowly she let all those memories float away and only thought of her parents,her wonderful parents.Slowly ever so slowly she walked into that bright light to see her parents smiling faces,they welcomed her with open arms and tearful faces,they where so happy to see there little girl back with them which made Kathleen thankful for her death in a way,she had missed her parents so much over the last few years it was a treat to see them and worth leaving everyone else behind.
I wrote this when I was younger and my granny had just died and I had pictured her going to heaven and seeing her parents there to meet her.If there is anything I need to change or any grammar problems please tell me. Thank you :)

I find this story really sad. Normally a lot of stories I read on here don't provoke so much emotion, but given the background knowledge and the way you put the scene, it gives an icky feeling to me. Good job!
I felt the emotion at the end of this story... this is a good write it had me keep reading sentence after sentence from the beginning to the end, catching my attention. You also pictured the scene well. I like how I felt I was watching it all. A nice short write. For your Author's Note, really sad and sorry for her loss... i can see how you wrote this story afterwards.
