One sunny and partly cloudy day at about 8pm at night Jimmy got back from football practice walked into his perfectly sized front door for him and his mom greeted him by saying hey, how was football, he responded great mom I think we're going to do amazing this year after I saw how good our offense and defense is this year. A few minutes after they finished their short but sweet conversation he went up to his bathroom to…

A smirk went across his face as he saw his victim in a vulnerable position. Some would think that was just how he smiled, but everybody who attended Ridgecoast High School knew better than that. At that moment, Trevor was busying himself by ripping up Caleb’s report for science class. “Please, just stop it!” Caleb yelled out.…
A quiet Christmas night in 1998 in the affluent neighborhood of Los Altos, California rolled around, celebrations having just finished and adults and children alike heading to the comforts of their beds . The houses stood in an eerie silence, foreshadowing the grim despair that was soon to follow. Shawn, a 16 year old juvenile, stabbed his father with a kitchen knife, inflicting wounds to his face, neck and arms. Shawn’s mother vividly describes waking up to the blood covered body of her husband, the brownish specks of dried blood scattered over the sheets. His father remembers a moment of disorientation, until he finally realized his attacker was his own son, and proceeded to tackle him to the ground.…

“This is it,” Seth said. “That’s him, the guy who was with Kayla, she’s got to be around here somewhere. She was frolicking about the entire lobby area for most of the time we all stood in line.” A minute past, but the girl was not seen in the video. Then Seth showed up.…
We’re walking down the streets of San Francisco together, down Lombard Street, through Chinatown, down to Golden Gate Park. This is our favorite place to be. We are our happiest here. We come here a lot, especially at night, to lay down where the grass really is greener, and look at the stars, finding all constellations and making up a few of our own. But tonight, I’d rather look at her.…
There are some events that are so terrifying that you can remember everything about when it happened. For me, that event is when I came out to my mom. She had called me into her room so that I could listen to her read Bible verses condemning homosexuality, which is always a fun time. The room only had one dim light on and the curtains were closed, making the room almost as gloomy as me at the time. Downstairs, I could smell my sisters baking and wished more than anything I could be there instead of where I was: sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at the pile of clothes on the floor as I tried to keep myself from thinking about what she was saying.…
You could only see half her face; her light brown hair covered the other half. She sat there crying from dawn to dusk. The busy world going throughout their day while only glimpsing her. She had an aura about her that made her invisible to most, maybe it was the way she dressed. No one knew why though, those of us who noticed her, but everyone knew she would be there the same day, every year.…
Then I felt wet like I had just got in the shower It was raining again and it got cloudy again we all went back into the classroom. As we all sat down I realized that Margot was still in the closet we all came rushing down I opened the door slowly then even more slowly let out Margot.

I can do this. I am capable. I pick up my bags and begin to fill the trunk of my crappy car with my few crappy belongings. At least I can leave this crappy apartment and crappy husband behind. I run back inside and wake up my sweet Charlotte.…
My dad shouted over the stand separating the kitchen and living room, “Oh yes you are!” He sounded kind of happy about that. For about 10 minutes we sat there and ate porkchop and sweet potato with our asparagus pushed up onto the corner of our dinner plates. Finally my dad came in there to see how much we had eaten, and he was not that thrilled. “Eat those” We four (Me, dad, Rheagan, and Jake) sat in there just looking at each other until Rheagan…
Don't you ever wondered if I disappeared tomorrow would the world even notice? Am i even going to be remembered? Am i just a cookie crumbs in the bottom of the cookie jar only to be washed out or thrown into the trash can? I get a bit paranoid sometimes and i'm convinced that everyone hates me, my therapist says to talk to her more often or to have a journal to get over my anxiety and my feeling, but i know she is judging me. I know humans.…
My eyes felt like they were glued shut like I couldn’t open them no matter how hard I tried. I was in a different place, it wasn’t home and I felt my heart start to beat fast, I was getting scared these surroundings weren’t familiar to me and all I wanted to do was go home. I heard a scream, it sounded like a girl and it was getting closer and closer, my hands started to shake and my stomach dropped. I couldn’t think straight, all I could think about is the girl, the sound of how fast my heart was beating and the shakiness of my hands.…
