Question: Read a short story in which teen walks with younger bro and gf onto ice to look at car under h2o!.name,author!?
The story was very uneventful and slow-paced yet nevertheless enjoyable!. Does anyone know the name of this story!?

also I read a short story in eighth grade about a man who was going to jump from a bridge in order to hang himself!. The story takes a sharp twist and some fantastic events are described, then the reader is told at the end that all of the described events were figments of the man's mind that occured on the way to his death during which there had been a lapse in his normal perception of time!.

Does anyone know the name of either of these short stories!? Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
