Answer:

The Figure in the Long, Black Coat :

I never really realized the figure was there. At least, at first. But now, as I lay peacefully on pristine white sheets that harshly contrasted against my tan skin and the tangy smell of disinfectant dancing merrily through the air, I realized that the figure had always been there. It had been a constant all throughout my life since I was a child. I just never really noticed.

I remember playing in a nearby playground as a young child. I remember the old, red swings that creaked every time someone sat on them. I used to go there with my friend Ernie to play till the sun had set and Mom would call us in for dinner. There was always a man wearing a long black coat sitting on a bench nearby eating cotton candy. Strawberry flavoured cotton candy, to be exact. He was lonely, I thought. Coming to the park everyday to see children play. That was the extent of it and sooner than later, I forgot about him.

There was also those times in the public library. I had been going through a bookworm phase then, reading through hundreds of books in order to distract myself from the fact that I had no friends. It worked, sometimes. Other times, my concentration would be broken when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I saw a woman with a long black coat, idly browsing through the romance novels section. Sometimes she would select a book and read the summary only to frown delicately at it and put it back. I suspected it was more due to the predictable and boring story line than the overly dramatized and unrealistic cover that almost without fail, would have gorgeous men with bulging muscles and flawless hair. At least, I would like to have hope so. I never paid much attention after that. Maybe she was lonely too.

Other times, I saw the figure at night. He was sitting on the bench opposite of my house and he gently placed what looked to be a sketchbook on his lap. He was always drawing. His hand would run across the page with slow but expressive strokes that seemed to caress the paper and I would be hypnotized, at least for that moment in time by this strange, lonely man, creating art. I would wonder sometimes what he could’ve been drawing, what piece of art took up so much of his concentration, so much of his effort, his care and his love. But after, I always seem to remember that going up and making small talk with a stranger that sketches outside of your house at night isn’t normal, and so I would close the curtains and sleep. I never gave him a second thought the day after.

But now, as I lay dying from this disease, I see the figure again. Only this time it’s Ernie. Ernie, with his sweet, soft smile and carefree heart now stood before me when in reality, he had died years ago. Car crash, they had said. Some drunk driver had crashed into them and Ernie was gone. Just like that. But that had been 40 years ago. Now, he stood before me in a long black coat and offered me his hand. Slowly, I took it and smiled.

PLEASE HELP
When she sat down to dinner at her round table with its three-day-old cloth, and watched her husband opposite her lift the lid of the soup tureen and exclaim, delighted: "Ah, a good homemade beef stew! There's nothing better..." she would visualize elegant dinners with gleaming silver amid tapestried walls peopled by knights and ladies and exotic birds in a fairy forest; she would think of exquisite dishes served on gorgeous china, and of gallantries whispered and received with sphinx-like smiles while eating the pink flesh of trout or wings of grouse.2 She had no proper wardrobe, no jewels, nothing. And those were the only things that she loved--she felt she was made for them. She would have so loved to charm, to be envied, to be admired and sought after.She had a rich friend, an old school friend whom she refused to visit, because she suffered so keenly when she returned home. She would weep whole days, with grief, regret, despair, and misery.***One evening her husband came home with an exultant air, holding a large envelope in his hand."Here's something for you," he said.Swiftly she tore the paper and drew out a printed card on which were these words:"The Minister of Education and Madame Ramponneau request the pleasure of the company of Monsieur and Madame Loisel at the Ministry on the evening of Monday, January the 18th."Instead of being delighted, as her-husband hoped, she flung the invitation petulantly across the table, murmuring:"What do you want me to do with this?""Why, darling, I thought you'd be pleased. You never go out, and this is a great occasion. I had tremendous trouble to get it. Every one wants one; it's very select, and very few go to the clerks. You'll see all the really big people there."She looked at him out of furious eyes, and said impatiently: "And what do you suppose I am to wear at such an affair?"He had not thought about it; he stammered:"Why, the dress you go to the theatre in. It looks very nice, to me...."He stopped, stupefied and utterly at a loss when he saw that his wife was beginning to cry. Two large tears ran slowly down from the corners of her eyes towards the corners of her mouth."What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you?" he faltered.But with a violent effort she overcame her grief and replied in a calm voice, wiping her wet cheeks:"Nothing. Only I haven't a dress and so I can't go to this party. Give your invitation to some friend of yours whose wife will be turned out better than I shall."He was heart-broken."Look here, Mathilde," he persisted, "What would be the cost of a suitable dress, which you could use on other occasions as well, something very simple?"She thought for several seconds, reckoning up prices and also wondering for how large a sum she could ask without bringing upon herself an immediate refusal and an exclamation of horror from the careful-minded clerk.At last she replied with some hesitation:"I don't know exactly, but I think I could do it on four hundred francs."He grew slightly pale, for this was exactly the amount he had been saving for a gun, intending to get a little shooting next summer on the plain of Nanterre with some friends who went lark-shooting there on Sundays.Nevertheless he said: "Very well. I'll give you four hundred francs. But try and get a really nice dress with the money."
