Scum! Do you enjoy wrecking people’s lives? Parasite! What do you get out of this? Get a life! Stay out of my business!

“Wow,” I whisper, somewhat sigh to myself. “The things I go through…..aren’t that bad,” I decided not to feel sorry for myself knowing things could be so much worse. It’s a crisp Saturday morning and I had arisen in a cold sweat like I normally do. I slide my sore legs over the edge of the bed into my indented slippers, a permanent token of the years that they were put to good

I have seen and experienced a lot of life, enough life to know that fairy tales do not exist, but monsters and demons sure do. How do I know these things exactly? Well, let's start with my name. My name is Artemis Clayton Maxfield III. I was the one and only of the billionaire Artemis Clayton Maxfield Jr. My father was a prestigious attorney at a multinational law firm. Our family was filthy rich. My father never was around, so I got to do practically whatever I wanted. I liked expensive cars, expensive girl, and expensive drugs. Even though I did these thing, somehow I made it through law school at the top of my class (probably with the help of my father’s wallet). Around 22, I got a phone call from my mother (who is pretty much irrelevant, all she did was live off of my father) saying that my father had been taken into custody for embezzlement. I didn’t know what to think of it. So many questions were running through my mind. I didn’t know whether to cry, scream, or keep quiet. I barely

    19 is a collection of ethical and ritual laws, many of which conclude with the phrase “I am the Lord your God.” This phrase is used fourteen times in this chapter (as opposed to five times in Ch. 18 and only two in Ch. 20).

    I only watched helplessly as the turquoise vase wobbled off of its shelf, seemingly falling in slow motion until it hit the cold stone, erupting in a firework of glass. He swiveled his head around, eyes widened, pale face, and trembling hands. My hands automatically went up to clasp my mouth, muffling a scream that never came out.

    All things considered, today was, to abridge, tiring. What's more, miserable. I stay here, writing in this diary at the foot of Jem's bed, viewing over him as he dozes, his rest gradually helping his arm to recuperate, now that Dr. Reynolds has gauzed it. Thinking back judiciously and sensibly, I feel no lament for my activities - in helping Tom Robinson, or in the way I've brought up my youngsters - I just feel an unfolding compassion and disillusionment for the man who had, looking in context, began this entire emergency.…

    You always hear about great legends, no matter where you are from. All my life I had heard about a great monsters who used to roam The Great Plains in Texas, but none of the stories matched the monster I had found. I lived in a small quaint house right outside of a town in the middle of the Texas Plains. Most of the townsfolk were superstitious.

    I nestled in the suffocating sheets of the bedding in my room, the room I had been confined to since the tragedy. The tragedy that twisted my once perfect life into a tumbling spiral of pure sorrow that I couldn't grasp. I breathed raggedly peering into the complete blackness of the room. I listened to the constant echoes of the machines that pumped medicine into my fragile body. I felt that I didn't deserve it because of the misfortunes that I caused.…

    My mind was running its own thoughts as it planned the day I had ahead of me. I walked into my parents’ room, taking a sip of hot coffee from my mother’s mug. I knew she hated it when she would suck her teeth together and gesture me to get my own. The taste of the coffee would get me up and if I tried to make it like hers, I’d fail. She would always be rushing to get the first things done in my father’s family business, the smell of iron running through her oil stained t-shirts.…

    The Last Day Sweat was gleaming off my face as I finished lifting our couch into my mother’s van. It was a familiar action, we has always been moving around. We had held many houses for rent, each for one year at a time. We never stayed anywhere for long, presumably because nobody liked renting to single mothers with five kids. We were always drifters, seeking houses for rent and never having a permanent situation.…
