A message from the author, Audrey Wheeler, about the St. Louis Shock: This piece was written in my 10th grade English class for the Personal Narrative unit. I wrote about this particular event because although a few months had passed by, I still was consistently recalling and repeating the memory in my mind. It was painful to just think about the specific part (The climax of the story) and the traumatic response that came with it, so I decided to let it all out. Going through each piece of the story was insanely difficult. I had to truly go through every detail of the day. No skipping anything. No glossing over anything. But most importantly: no forgetting anything. Once I finished my first rough draft, it was a mess. A sloppy piece of words strung together in a way that was anything but cohesive. Mrs. Sylvester read it and took a massive interest in it though. She edited it, gave notes, sent me to other teachers for their opinions, and made me express the story. It was that push from merely telling the story to expressing the story that made all the difference in my reaction to the finished piece. Although I'm very proud of this story, I can never completely read it. To me, it was a one time release of bottled up emotions, resulting in a bittersweet recollection of a traumatic memory.
