“Run Abigail Run’’ Elliana spoke. I slightly turned my head around to see if the dog was still behind me. Not to mention that I could hear my heart beating fast, terrifically fast . Furthermore, I was thinking about how this all started. A few minutes ago, my friends and I went to the park. Imiediatly I realized that the park was filled with people . I noticed kids that I haven’t seen before in the apartment complex . It was a hot day. I sensed the boiling sun on my face. It felt as if hot oil was being poured on my whole body. I couldn’t take the heat. I decided to leave. My friends convinced me to stay for a little longer, that the sun would go down. The biggest mistake in my life. My friend Elliana noticed a lost pup or what she thought

    I saw only darkness, save the faint glow of lava rocks in a small hole dug in front of me. I breathe in what should be steaming hot air, but it is dry, yet so hot. Even growing up in Tucson where the summer heat can reach 110 degrees, I’ve never experienced something quite like this. I wished I was playing out in that summer heat, this felt like I was being cooked in an oven. I breathe in again, more dry air.…

    She sighed softly "Yes, I'll get right on that Ms. Andrews," the strawberry petite blonde girl spoke in an almost uneasy tone. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, well it was. Though it was also that her brother was interviewing at the company she worked for, why they would need a journalist? She didn't quite understand that, but she didn't understand a lot of things that happened there. She had learned over the last four years too not ask questions. "…

    My story begins on an Excel Sheet. An Excel sheet on a Compaq computer in a garage filled with giant cardboard boxes. I remember sitting on the steps to our garage; my mother shouting out cryptic patterns of letters and numbers and the soft clicking of my keyboard. After that, is a blur. Probably because I couldn’t see through my teary eyes and smudged glasses.…

    I finally saw the the beautiful sun for the first time without having to bend my head back as far as I could since I had been in New York. It shone down brightly, warming my skin and glimmering off the glass of the skyscrapers in the near distance. I could finally feel the soft breeze wrap around me and not get deflected from the buildings. I watched the people from the city enter the park and watched as their city attitudes give way to the magical ambiance of the park. I closed my eyes and took it all in, and I could’ve stayed on top of that rock for…

I knew exactly what he's doing, and it took every inch of me cannot pounce out of my dog house and stop the exchange. But with my morale low, from the rest of my puppies being sold, and my body aching, I slowly walked over and peered through the window.

I knew Officer Johnson, I had seen him with his daughter frequently around the neighborhood.…

    As in most African Christian families, my religious indoctrination started very early, too early for it to really set in. A young child is usually preoccupied with the toys clutched to their pudgy appendages, and I was no different. But, alas, my parents insisted on dragging me to church along with them from as young an age as memory allows. One fateful Sunday morning, in 2004, a stubborn 6 year old me, slowly tortured by the droning of the majestically draped priest, asked to use the bathroom. My mother, ensnared by the Holy Spirit, absent-mindedly mumbled that I get back as soon as possible.…
