“THE TOWERS I 9 4 S — 19 4 9 PAGE SEVENTY-TWO FIRST PRIZE— A SHORT STORY— By HENRY HAZEL, T4B A heavy dense fog descended upon the little town of Puce and 1 was at a loss as to my sense of direction. I glanced at my watch—3:00 a.m., and still, as far as 1 knew. I was no where near home. After walking several minutes I came to what looked like “Home Sweet Home . AH was dark and silent in the house. Slow¬ ly I turned the door knob, but, to no avail; the door was locked. I shuddered to think what might happen if Paw should awake and find me out so late. To avoid any trouble. I decided to go in through the bedroom window. Slowly 1 lifted up the bedroom window and crawled in head ■first. No sooner did I enter, then the window came down with a resounding and thunderous crash. My heart skipped five beats during that seemingly everlasting five seconds that I waited. But no one came. I was then sure everyone was dead asleep. Seating myself on a chair, I took off my shoes. I took a deep breath and felt eased at the thought that I was safely in the house without a care or worry in the world. Finding the chair very hard. I decided to tiptoe over to the bed. For years I had taken those few steps to the bed. but tonight of all nights. I had taken six steps resoundly right into the wall. With five more pounds force I would have walked through the wall. My brain began to function and I knew then that if the bed was not on this side it was on the other. With an about-face anil out¬ stretched band 1 passed slowly forward. — — Crash. 1 then drove my clumsy bony knee directly into a dresser bureau. Again 1 tried to search for the bed. With two painful paces I found the bed. Slowly 1 slid my hand along the bed rail: my hand then went over an oddly- shaped bedpole. That ' s funny . since when did we own a lied with such a peculiar-shaped head¬ piece ?” A million thoughts ran through my head. The chair in the room, never do I recall having a chair in nty room: the five paces to the wall, the lied, the ease with which the window alien¬ ed. ”1 was in the wrong house! A wave of panic surged through me as 1 heard the low muffling sound of an automobile and saw the light flash by as a car drove up the driveway. I then heard the voices of people and the slam of a car door. What was I to do? Where did I leave my shoes? Groping about the floor on hands and knees. I searched intensively. “Ah. 1 found them. At the instant that l heard the key in the door 1 flung open the window and raced limpingly down the street. The fog had lifted. As 1 walked home. 1 rejoiced that I had escaped from the neighbour ' s house safely. My next problem was to gain entrance into mv own bedroom without distur¬ bing the family.’ I lifted the latch of the hack door, entered the kitchen, turned the knob of the living room door and climbed the stairway. Creek, creek — tho e unfriendly stairs. Paw heard a noise but knowing that occasionally 1 walked in my sleep, he said: Joe. go hack to lied, ii is too early to get up — go to sleep. These were the kindest words to my ears — my fears were gone. 1 uttered a sleepy response, and finally reached my own lied in safety. SECOND PRIZE- SECRET FEELINGS REVEALED By JANE BALLANTYNE Oh Diary: I don ' t know how much longer I can keep this pretense up. The longer it is. the more hate there is in my heart for him: and the one thing I ' don ' t want to happen is that my love for Mother is starting to turn, too. only because of her love for him. and her willingness to be or¬ dered. and pushed around in her own house. Before there was always Carol. Mom. and I. and of course. Uncle Joe. Dad died when we were very young. But we were always hap¬ py. We lived in a pretty little house which Dad had bought before he died. Carol and 1 had a cheerful little room where the sun peeped into our window in the morning, which made every¬ thing look bright and fresh. I ' ll always remem¬ ber that little room, and hope I ' ll have another like it some day. When we were old enough to take care of ourselves, coming from and going to school. Mom got a job. She wanted to help buy some things for the house, and a little extra spending money. She liked working and enjoyed the people she met. Then all at once we noticed a great change in her. She seemed as if she was in a daze or dream all the time she was home. She said crazy, silly little things which didn ' t mean much, but which were enough to tell my uncle she was in love. Uncle Joe was always good to us and 1 could tell him some things 1 couldn ' t even tell Mom. He was good to us like a father, and now I often wonder why Mom never married him. because I knew he was always in love with her. Maybe, if he had lived, things wouldn ' t be like this now. Mam star ted to go out frequently at night and to leave us at home more than ever. She
