Two Different Roads: About The Story

Chanel here, with a brand new story. This story actually inspired me by listening to this song called "Elephant As Big As Whales" [I know it is a strange title] by PlayRadioPlay! and in my Social Studies and English class I've been learning about the Holocaust, since we're reading the Diary of Anne Frank. So I deleted the other two because I felt it was bringing me back to The Things They Don;t Tell You and I wanted to get away from that. So while sitting on the computer, on YouTube watching The Outsiders verison of "Elephants As Big As Whales" and I just like the bright light bulb in my head, but this wasn't the first time the "light bulb went off". It has been going off lately when I'm on the school bus listening to my iPod, but it wasn't so much about the characters or plot of the story, it was more of the structure of the chapters making it different from the other story. Just a few creative ideas, that is all. So here is something you need to know about Two Different Roads.
