Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Lukeman Part 1 | Keisha McGovern

Choose a sentence from your work that might be confusing to the reader, or perhaps too open for interpretation.
When I was a little girl, my brother and I had these two fishes who were beta's. They were our favorite because of all the wonderful colors they had on them. These were the only pets we could have because we lived in an apartment complex that did not allow other animals excepts fish. Well when we were both younger, my parents divorced and my dad had visitation in the summer time. So when summer came, we had to leave our wonderful fishes with my mom; who promised she would take very good care of them. So my brother and I went on with our daily lives for the summer having fun with my dad and family. It was time to go back home to my moms house, and we were so excited to see our fishes. We ran right into the house and my mom sat there and told us that she had some bad news, we were like OK. She said that when she went to clean our fish bowls, she forgot to add water to the bowl when she put the fishes back and killed them. We were both heartbroken, because to us these were our pals. Needless to say my mother had a new nickname, " the fish killer."
