“Screech!”, the door opened a little.
I quickly glanced at the door and turned back towards the living room. I felt something suspicious around, but I wasn’t
It was 4:22 a.m June 6, 1944, everyone in the camp was woken up by sirens. We were 20 miles out from Normandy beach. Sargent had not told us what was going on yet, we were just told to suit up and get to the boats. I heard a quiet buzz around the compound from various soldiers of various ranks that we were going to Normandy Germany and I knew this meant war. We loaded up the boats with around 16 per boat.…
The door downstairs slammed. Feet were heard coming up the stairs. The cladder of people shuffling to get into the annex, was clear. We had been found.…

This incorporates secret societies such as the Skull and Bones to be considered a community. The Skull and Bones are only found at Yale University.…
The room was actually pretty small, much like a box. There was only a bedside table and a bed, which I was laying on with comfort. As I stood up, I saw red footsteps lead to a door in a corner of the…
They looked at me with confusion on their faces. I took a step forward trying to understand what the noise could have been. "Hello?" I blurted out loudly. To our surprise,…

It gets stupidly hot in Danielsville, Louisiana, especially around summer. This would be fine I guess if we had something to do, to keep our mind off of the heat but there isn’t anything to do. Danielsville, Louisiana has three churches (Pentecostal), twice as many bars, one high school and no books stores or libraries. This means you’re either too drunk to read, or too Christian to read anything good. Big enough to have a mayor’s house, but not big enough to be on any map of any kind, it’s the kind of town where everyone knows your name and basically everything about you.…
It was a dark and stormy night in July. My friends and I were fishing in a boat on Sylvan Lake, and the water was beginning to get very choppy and bubbly. As the water splashed into our boat, we tried to paddle towards the docks. We began to panic as the waves pushed our tiny boat further out towards the center of the lake.…

Gone, but Not Gone According to 2014 statistics, about 40% of the United States’ African - American population is incarcerated. Meaning, 40% of African – American homes are missing a vital member of their family. I was part of that 40% with a loved one incarcerated. Up until that point of my life, I always thought incarceration was the attempt to rehabilitate the offender.…
I ran upstairs, and checked all the hiding spots. All the guns were there, of course, but I needed something to do. I made my bed, cleaned the downstairs, I even alphabetized the books on our shelf, reading pieces of a few that I thought might help. My hand shook more and more with every activity. I was trying to keep my mind away from the matters at hand and what I had just done, but it wasn’t much use.…
I continued to scream. Nearby, I heard the faint flicker of a nearby light. I recognized the sound as the hallway light and concluded that my mother must be on her way. My sweaty palms met with the thin paint of my wall.…
And I went back to watch my movie. Then it happened again after half an hour. First a gentle knock and then followed by loud and hard knocks on my door. This time I almost ran towards the door determined to catch Esha apu on the act but found no one outside again. But I didn’t waste my time standing there.…
