Growing up, I always considered myself and everyone around me invincible, like nothing bad ever happened to anyone, I was wrong. You see, when something bad happens your mind races with a variety of different emotions. You feel disbelief, panicked, and then you have to wait, which makes you overwhelmingly anxious. The first time I felt these emotions, was when I was sixteen, it was also the first time I realized that everyone around me that I loved wasn’t invincible. At first it didn’t seem…

The Maze “Come on! come on! come on, Emma!” shouted Skylar. Skylar rushed Emma to sign up for the corn maze. Clickety clack, clickety clack. They heard the high schoolers high heels.

The reason I decided to start with an obituary was to give the background information of Maggie’s parents and to let the audience be aware of the fact that her parents are gone. A big part of Maggie’s life is taking care of her younger brother. The obituary being the first original work gives the audience a lead into the life Maggie is living and the hardships she had to go through. The second original work I created was a conversation, or dialogue, between Maggie and her younger brother.…
