Good evening. Welcome to our church. If you don't mind, I will start the service. The man, a priest she presumed, walked up to the pulpit and opened the book lying on it. Lena regained the use of her voice. Hey, excuse me, but what's going on here? The priest looked up in surprise. I'm going to conduct Mr. Monterey's funeral service. That's what you are here for, isn't it?
Lena moved right up to the platform, all the time avoiding looking into the coffin. This is a misunderstanding, sir, Father, whoever you are, Lena said. I'm Father O'Connor. Right, Father O'Connor. Look, I'm just passing by, you know; I only came in to meditate for a few minutes. I'll be on my way. Lena started back up the aisle toward the front door. Miss! Lena turned around. I was about to start the service. Would you care to stay? Lena looked at him as if he were out of his mind. But I don't know this man! Meet Lena, Martin, Malcolm, Maxim, Philip, and Holly as their lives are about to change forever. Whether it is for the better or for the worse, one thing is certain-for the change to come about, someone must die. But who? Why? And how? If English is your second language and you find reading full-length novels challenging, then One Death Away is for you. This English Reader offers six short and easy-to-read stories, each exploring contemporary themes and topics that will engage both your mind and your heart. Numerous footnotes at the end of every page define the more difficult or idiomatic vocabulary, saving you trips to the dictionary and allowing you to enjoy the plots without interruptions. So sit down, relax, and enjoy! One Death Away will make your reading experience a breeze. And when you have finished, stop by the author's website, www.readenglishforfun.com, for more fun with English. For intermediate to advanced learners
