It was raining, so we drove around the house. It looked pretty empty, so we sat in front of it for a few minutes. This guy popped his head from one of the windows and started firing rounds at us, so we quickly drove off. Their vehicle was an armed vehicle, so the bullets did not hit them. The bullets were stopped by there armor and bullet proof…
On March thirtieth two thousand thirteen, I gave birth to my sixth child and second son William Jonah Sanchez. Little William was such a beautiful baby boy and my older son Noah who is autistic was so happy to have a little brother. Over the next few months of his life, W.J, as we affectionately call him, struggled to gain weight and was slowly falling off the growth charts. I was having to take W.J to doctor’s visits several times a week to no avail.…
Saying by to Momma Skitles and Daddy Spree, I walked into my new sanitized room. After looking around, I decided to take the bottom of the bunk bed in the far corner. “Better to have one close to the ground and near the closet.” I started making my bed when I got another sudden hunger pang. I doubled over as the intensity of my hunger overtook me.…
On August 17, of 2016 I seen this beautiful girl named Macy Swanson. That whole school year I didn't say a word to her because I didn't think I would stand and chance with such an amazing beautiful girl.

Then finally on July 22, I texted her on Facebook messenger and from that day on we've been talking since.…
It’s been a day or two since we’ve left this room. I’m lost and enraptured by the fragility surrounding our isolation. I spend much of my time counting things. I count the slats on your window blinds, I count the clothes scattered on your bedroom floor, I count the scars on your body. I count every different language and color I could learn to love you in.…

"The directions after the ally were clearly not thought out, completely fake, as if he was supposed to die in the ally. The killer must've intended to give the victim a fake map and strike in the ally. The beginning of the map made perfect sense. This was thought out, for a long time." Grayson explained.…
"I don't know Fal's, he's had a screw loose ever since he became a vamp. My best guess is that some people handle immortality better than others and he was damn wrecked when he heard you were dead. " I was trying to make it not seem so bad what he'd done but it freaked me out and I'd seen a lot of screwed up shit so yeah, it fucking bad.…
The sound of battle drums deafened the ears of men. The cloak of death stretched over the fields and the cries of men rang over the atmosphere. Fear entrenched itself into the hearts of all as blood ran through the field. Mad men led the troops into the trenches. Men, who had no souls, had no loved ones back home they were praying to return to.…
It was an elderly Hispanic woman, possibly in her sixties. She was heavily twitching and barely responding. I quickly dialed 911. As I was speaking with the dispatcher, her shaking hand gently grabbed my arm and she calmly denied the medical care, deprived of insurance and lack of income. She simply wanted a ride home and placed on her bed.…
I don't really know how to start this but here it goes. I would really appreciate it if you would keep the missing me and such to yourself. I'm barely hanging on right now and it's not because i'm not strong or cause i need you. It's because this whole place (everett) is just memories of us and being with you there's nothing else here but that. To add to that i feel like a piece of me and missing right now, my other half.…
The monologue that I wrote and performed was inspired by two different poems both possessing the theme of anxiety. The first poem was by Patrick Roche The Perfect Panic Attack and the second Social Anxiety Disorder by Sabrina Leira. In the first poem Patrick goes through instructions on how to have the perfect panic attack and recounts different features that would be included when someone does have a panic attack. ‘Find a trigger.…

"Ohkay, you can go home early today Kianna, go and have some fun on your spring break," My boss, Andrew, told me. "It's only three o'clock though," I told him. "There's not a lot of costumers today, everyone's out at the beach, not here in an old candy store. You should be there too, you've worked all week long." "Can't, costumer just walked in.…
