Axe

The Wolverines needed a field goal to win the game. “Axe I can’t watch!” I wanted to cover my eyes but I couldn’t. The entire stadium was on their feet. The ball was snapped, the placeholder caught it, and from there everything went into slow motion. He placed the ball on the ground, spun the laces outward, the kicker ran up to the ball and kicked it. The offensive line blocked the defense; the ball soared through the air, end of end. Goosebumps covered my skin, it looked like it was too wide.…

Discovered by Constable Rinner in the house of Tshuanahusset, it is the one of only two pieces of material evidence linking Tshuanahusset to the murder. From the very beginning this evidence is questionable at best. Constable Rinner claims that the axe in question was…

From the beginning of life, children are taught what believe, how to show that you believe it, but a lot of times they are not shown why it should be believed. Although adults were “trying to keep the souls of their children safe”, how safe are they if they are mindlessly completing acts without a pure motivation behind them? Growing up, I have always gone to Pentecostal holiness churches where we believed that women should always wear dresses, men should not wear shorts, and no one should work,…

Where did they…

I am confident I will be able to sustain on the island, and lastly getting rescued by the civilization. Considering that I will need safe drinking water, edible food, and a safe shelter.
