Acrophobia

Everyone has certain people they feel are the ones who are responsible for major points of development in their lives and for me those people are mother, my high school psychology teacher and my bestfriend of roughly eleven years. My mother had raised my brother and I by herself after she divorced my father when I was around six years old where she became the central figure into how I became the man I am today. She would always console me in my times of need, no matter what the situation was she…

I don't care who you are, how strong you are, how brave you you are, how tough you are, how famous you are, we all have at one point in our life been afraid of at least one thing and there is not one person in this world that can honestly say ¨I have never feared anything¨. Fear is a natural emotion which happens when we feel that something can overwhelm us or we don't know what to do about a certain situation.

I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story. I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum,…
