   Everyday was the same.Wake up,walk my neighbors dog,clean up the house,then shower.Also of course writing because that's all I ever do.But today I forgot to walk the dog."Shoot how could I forget that"I thought.The whole time I was showering I heard sirens outside my house.I expected them to fade away but it never did.I thought "that's strange on a Tuesday morning".I looked at the window and there it was the big red ambulance.They were right outside my neighbors house.I knew something bad happened so I slipped on a hoodie and went to go find out.There he was,Mr.Gordan just lying there in the ambulance."Oh my God what happened"?I asked his wife."My poor Sam, he was watching a very loud action movie when I left to go to the store" Mrs.Gordan said dramatically."As soon as I walked in there he was sitting in his favorite chair,lifeless" said Mrs.Gordan while acting hysterical.I knew better that Mr.Gordan didn't died because he was watching "a very loud action movie".So I asked the EMT "what caused his death".He replied "I can't be certain but we think it was a heart attack".
