of a street light. "Gilbert, whatever you're thinking about doing, just come down from there." He said in a calm voice, putting up his hands. "Ludwig, just go away," Gilbert said in a shaky voice. "I'm alright, just go home," He dried his face with his sleeve and the palm of his hand. "It's alright..." Gilbert almost whispered. "Gilbert, please come down, we'll get you sorted out." Ludwig inched closer to Gilbert's still body. "Ludwig, you don't know what it's like. How would you sort me out?"…

“Why, I don’t think I should, I really am in a rush”, he answers, but the fakir interrupts. “I insist you at least purchase a drink, you look parched.” The fakir convinces the man, “Well, alright then,”the man answers in hesitation, “I’d like to ask you something sir,”the fakir exclaims, “ I saw you looking at my booth curiously over there,” the fakir directs his old, bony finger at the street the man was just on. “And I thought to myself…

Lamar’s grammy winning song “Alright” was a battle cry for protesters to the police shootings of young, unarmed black men. But the influence of Lamar’s music goes past that. The album is a wake up call for african americans that the system has failed us. The corrupt system that has resulted…

It was March 21st, 1765 and everything in the colony of South Carolina was as usual. I was walking back from the main store in the middle of town. I had gone to the store for some bread flour as we had run out the day before. I got home and helped my mother with dinner; we were making her famous bread and some salted pork. The Seven Years War had ended a few years ago and the colonies are still recovering from the debt. The British Crown has put the sugar and currency acts on us to raise money,…

Twice this year I near froze to death. Both times Alice Mayweather kept me warm. The first time I locked myself out of my house, frost creeping on the windows, I called Alice over, she was always good with these things. Ever since we were kids she had always been saving me from the trouble I got myself into. I sat shivering on my steps, watching the snow pile up on the ground at least two feet high. Comfortable silence floated around me as the sun set with pink sky as it’s backdrop. A few…

Steph rubs her eyes, and sits up. STEPHANIE (cont’d) Alright, I’m up, I’m up. Her room is a typical teenager’s room, but in a small home, almost more like a cottage. She sits at the edge of the bed, tired, and then looks up toward the window -- a mountain range and a snowy horizon are…

I was surprised. We all went together, everything was going so well. Deen was calm, Nefreit was smiling and happy, Xetarr.. Perfect. He always was. From the day we met years, years, back, to now. Holding me close and smiling down at my form, as we moved through the haunted crowds. People hiding behind masks, girls screaming their way through the park, and guys laughing at them. Of course, I wasn't scared. Nefreit either, but, I mean, we would flinch and be pissed about it. But, that's just us.…

challenges they face in life, that it still won’t help them in the future and that it will be meaningless to even try to overcome those situations. Gritty people believe that in order to achieve, one must believe that everything will be alright, and if it’s not alright, then it doesn’t mean that it’s the…
