Freshman year was almost the death of me; physically and mentally. That year was not all fun and games, and from this I had severe depression from the constant stress. The AP and Honors homework had taken a toll on me. Late sleepless nights, and with my parents on my back I was too stressed for a fourteen year old. Enough was enough I went to my parents and confronted them on the issue. Throughout my ninth grade year my parents were overbearing on me to do my school work, and during one of my…

“Mom said she would take care of selling the house on her own. I think I’m only going to stay a few more days. I understand if you need to go back sooner.” Bennett was snuggled into Cole’s side on the couch. Jase had fallen asleep in Bennett’s old bedroom looking at her childhood pictures. After playing with most of her old toys, he didn’t seem to want to leave her room or her side. “I think we’ll stay. You will need help moving everything and I have a truck to haul the furniture to Goodwill.…

Today is Sunday, March 21st. In just a few minutes, a brand new patient is come to visit me. His name is Noah Montgomery, and his mother has warned me. A 17 year old child prodigy, it seems he knows everything- except social skills. His mother has warned me that he is a bit.... concerning and he may need to be considered for higher level therapy.

The first threat came over the phone when there were suspicions of Minnijean going to Central High School. I walked over to the phone in the kitchen. A deep voice, a man’s voice came on. “If anyone in your family comes to that school, I’ll come to your house myself, and shoot all of you“, I ended the call, and stood there for a couple minutes, stunned by what just happened. And ran to mom and dad’s room. “Um, m-mom. We got a phone call “, I stuttered. “I’ll be there in one second honey.“ she…

Ever since, she said she has lived by herself scavenging for scraps, just like my sister and I. Then she said that's how she ran into me, that she saw Generals coming while she was looking for food so she tripped over a loose board on the cellar door and that's how she found it. Right as she is finishing her story I hear the door open, It kinda felt like Deja-Vu at that point. The door creaks everything is silent until the silence is broken. “Hello?” “MARLEE!” I couldn't contain my excitement,…

The Stalking Dead I was running away from the strange man who kept following me. Everywhere I went he was there. I was trying to escape him, but every turn, corner, or street, he was there. He kept telling me “it’s time just accept it.” As I was running away, he kept stopping in front of me. I was starting to freak out, but kept telling myself “stay calm” but that didn’t work. When I got to my house, there he was sitting on my doorstep. Also next to him there was an hourglass tipped over.…

I won’t say my story is unlike any other. I won’t that I’ve been to the ends of the earth to fight for my honor. I can’t say that my family abandoned me on the steps of an orphanage, or that I never felt love. Those things would be the makings of a really heartwarming story. But, it wouldn’t be my own. Despite never experiencing those things, I am no longer ashamed or scared of what I can say, I’ve seen seen the face of true evil. I went into my freshman year hopeful. I was at a different…

We often think about the endpoint of a journey and not the actual journey itself. The poem,“On Turning Ten” by Billy Collins focuses on this, but on the journey of life. In this poem, Collins tells the reader how growing up in life has rough changes to us, and our journey gets harder as we go on. The author emphasizes on the landmark of passing double digits, and what lies ahead from this. By using metaphors and imagery, the author shows that as we get further into our journey of life, everyone…

I want to first start off by saying how sorry I am that the court move was rejected, I wish you luck on the circuit court. I got your letter Tuesday last week, which was when my finals were for my accelerated classes, I hope you won’t get mad at me if I make this letter a bit shorter than my previous ones, but I am a little tired of writing so much for school. You will be happy to know I got all A’s in college so far, mainly because college is definitely easier than high school. I also now have…

FALLON: “Viola just called and invited me to go to her Halloween dinner, I know it is last minute but would you want to accompany me? It is a costume party, but still I think it would be fun!” REDCROSSE: “As you may know I am not very fond of Halloween and this costume nonsense but I have nothing better to do this evening so yes, I will join you”. (I laughed because it was very typical of him; he always gets angry when Halloween rolls around. We arrived to her house around eight and were…
