Wonder Women: The Strength to Stop Trains
Hello everyone, I have been designing the front and back covers of my school's yearbook. Since we are a Christian School my publisher did not want to have a normal Mosque on the front. He wished for the Hagia Sofia which under the reign of Constantine and Justine was a Church, but was later transformed into a mosque when the Ottoman's took over. At the present time it is a Museum open to the public. My Father verbally gave my Mother dearest and I directions to get to Keskin and the Hagi Sofia. He sent us on our way. This was the first time my mother and I had gone by ourselves. Especially as far as Eminonu. We took the 14BK as planned and at this point we had no problems, but it was raining which would not have made for a good photograph. As the day carried on the rain ceased bringing out the face of the sun. We got onto the boat with no trouble and were able to get off at the right stop with the help of one of the staff. We arrived at Keskin with ease. We ran into my friend from school called Joanna. We bought a bunch of items that only cost us 17 liras. We then proceeded to have lunch where we met someone who was on the film crew for the new movie JAMES BOND and also a confused Burger King manager that believed he WAS James Bond. At lunch my mother and I joked about running into Daniel Craig, but sadly...we didn't. We arrived at Hagi Sofia and I began to study it, looking for the best angle. As I went on taking photographs...my mother caught the attnetion of what she calls a "Creepy creepy creepy guy". I was also able to speak with him in Spanish, which was quite interesting. While I was working several guys attempted to hit on me and my mother. We did not know english at those periods in time. As we were walking back to the park to take photographs of the Bospherous an electric tram was going by on the track when all of a sudden I realized a man with a thick handel bar mustache, dressed in cowboy appreal, had tied a young women to the tracks. I jumped in front of the tram pressing my hands against the front and planting my feet on hard on the tracks. I used all of my strength and the train roared to a hault. I had saved the young girls life. I was a hero. *Auto footage correction - Initiated* Kirstie steps onto the tracks for a few seconds. Train stops. Driver gets angry and curses under his breath. Kirstie is embarrassed and proceeds to hide in the park. *End of footage*Oooookay...so maybe that's a slightly stretch truth but, my side of the story seems more realistic.(; Forever Yours, Wonder Woman (Kirstie).
