Answer:
A story about a girl's sister getting kidnapped, "They Got Her But Where?"
Explanation:
"Let's go Anya we're gonna be late for school!" Valarie yelled up the stairs. "I'm coming up and you better be ready-" Valarie said as she opened the door to her sister Anya. When she opened the door her sister was nowhere to be found. She searched the room frantically hoping Anya would just appear; but she didn't. As Valarie searched the room she saw that the open window had a bloody handprint on it. When she looked out of the window the grass and plants had been disturbed. Valarie couldn't stop shaking while she tried to call the police.
"911 what's your emergency?" the operator on the other line spoke.
"My sister is- she's- um-"- Valarie mustered while she cried at the thought of her sister being hurt and maybe even dead.
"Sweetie I need you to tell me what happened so I can help you." said the operator.
"My sister is um- she missing-" Valarie was cut off by a rush of tears pouring down her face.
"Do you know how long she's been gone?" asked the operator in a worried tone.
"I'm not sure. But I do know that there's blood. Please send someone."- Valarie managed.
"What's your address sweetie?" the 911 operator asked.
Valarie gave her the address and soon the officers were there. They proceded to ask her what happened and told her at the time that Anya could not be marked a missing person. They took her to the station and got Valarie's official statement. Valarie ended up in foster care because Anya was taking care of her after her parents dipped on the two randomly. 4 years pass and no one's seen or heard from Anya. Valarie just assumed that she was kidnapped and she never stopped looking for her. Though with the years passing she was scared she'd never get Anya back.
The climactic moment of The Death of Ivan Ilych, the changeless instant when Ivan passes through the black sack into the light, fully resolves the contradictions and conflicts present throughout the novel. As Ivan is reborn into the light, the spiritual finally transcends the physiological. Life conquers death, and the authentic prevails over the artificial. At the very moment of his rebirth, when Ivan asks himself, "What is the right thing?" Ivan's hand falls on Vasya's head and he feels sorry for him. Ivan's sincere and heartfelt expression of compassion, coupled with physical human contact, bridges the gap that Ivan had created between himself and others. Throughout Ivan's life, he had erected barriers between himself and the world. Whether by engrossing himself in his official work, losing himself in the game of bridge, or adopting a formal and escapist attitude toward life's unpleasantness, Ivan has isolated himself from meaningful human interaction. By adopting the values of high society, Ivan's life has lost all value. Yet when Ivan realizes the error of his past life, when he feels sorry for Vasya and Praskovya, when he opens himself up to an empathetic connection with another human being, the walls fall from around him. The self-erected barriers drop away from all sides, and Ivan experiences the true joy of unimpeded, authentic human relationships.
