She tripped over the threshold and stumbled into the kitchen. Turning from the kitchen sink, Hanna rushed to close the door against the wind, “Millicent, what on earth happened to your face?” “I think I fell off Pete’s bike.” “Go lie down on the couch.” Using a wet washcloth, Hanna wiped blood and gravel from Millie’s left cheek. “What happened?”…

Nothing happened. I try to ask her about it, track her down outside the library but she won’t say anything, just makes quick small talk and says she has to go. She’s really busy but let’s hang out soon, okay? It goes on like this for weeks. I don’t know what else to do so I keep playing racquetball with Seth, keep drinking. We stop going to Kiewit. * * * * Jasey corners me one night at a party, yelling over the music that I need to talk to Bianca. When I ask her why she just slurs something…

to find another spot to hide in. As soon as I found a good hiding spot I sat down to catch my breath. After doing so I looked at my hand to find that it was bleeding. At that point a lot of questions were going through my head. How did this happen? What did I do? When did it happen? Then it dawned on me I had cut my finger when I hit it on the door way. Now came the real question for me to answer. Do I run to my mom or stay in my hiding spot so my sister does not find me and win.…

“I can't imagine not smelling cow shit every morning anyway. It’s soothing.” We started laughing until we were both standing there looking at the other, crying. It was the first time Joe and I had spoken that deeply about being an Albert— what it meant and what it felt like. We crumbled at the same time and sat by the wheelbarrow and wiped at our tears and sweat, the liquids hard to tell apart. I ran my palms over the dry grass in the field like it was water, inviting and mysterious. Joe did the…

life and Vivian’s life as an elder, she shows both stories. Molly admits that cleaning out the attic wasn’t as bad as she thought. “I like her. She’s kind of cool” (Kline 128).

arrived. The boys walked in as I was sitting on the counter in the kitchen. Jamie set down a bottle of Jack Daniels, and I went to it. One shot, two shots, three shots and I hit the floor. I want to say that I remember the party and who all showed up and what went down that night. However, that was just not the case. By the time I came to my senses, it was 3 AM. I got up and looked around the house for anyone, and no one was there. The front door to the…

With technology constantly being invented and reinvented, video games, television shows and phones…

have been working with children for over ten years and have had many life changing experiences with them. None of those experiences have impacted my life more then what happened to me a year ago. It all happened when a parent came up to me at the school I work at and asked me to be a buddy at a program called Buddy Break. I asked, what is involved, she told me that it involved me having an open mind, warm heart and a little bit of training. With a little bit of convincing I was on board and…

I’ll be back with more.” Suddenly the Christmas-y tentacles reached out and dug into Dianna’s pockets, taking her and her boyfriend’s wallets. “What are you doing? Please, that’s all of my boyfriend’s Christmas money!” “I’m sure he’ll be happy to know it was used to for good. Have fun with the elves.” He…
