HAPPY FRIDAY!
This is from Yarrow by Charles De Lint but there's only 4 sentences on page 56 so I used the first on page 57.
Lisa Henderson hurried south along Bank Street, turned left on Sunnyside then right on Willard. She glanced at her watch: 9:45. Her mother was going to kill her.
Trust me, this does not do Charles de Lint justice.

I like it! Short and sweet. Mine was just boring without the next two sentences.
I had to use p57 today too! My post is here.
Oops! I accidentally posted this previously on an old post that someone linked to.
This is my first Friday 56:

"The kids stood still for a moment, then took off down the street. They were heading straight for the public library." from The Man Who Ate the 747.
I had to add the bonus sentence since I am a librarian :) I loved this book and will be posting my review tomorrow.
Here is mine
It's Monday, May 18, 2009. I like the idea behind The Friday 56.
