~Sticking to the Script~ I. Felicitous I let out a long sigh as I walked along the beach’s crowded boardwalk, alone. Johanna, my twenty-four year old sister, had pulled me here an hour earlier to have a fun night together (her words, not mine). I was honestly just as happy, if not more, to sit home and do absolutely nothing but lay across my bed eating pizza without any human interactions. I was going to save my social tolerance for her wedding in half a week, but I…

thought-provoking The Bargain Store, the spiritual The Seeker, and the lively All I Can Do.

Living in Columbus can be a blessing and a curse for Tyler. It’s a blessing because it’s all he’s ever known. Which, isn’t technically true since he’d been to other states and Ohio’s various surrounding cities. But, it’s a curse because he isn’t able to escape it. His wings have been clipped from the day his family decided to move out without any notification, and sell the house to family far richer than Tyler. In order to buy his childhood home back, he’d have to go back in time and not go to…

young fourteen-year-old at the time, I remember wanting to search for new music to listen to and had discovered K-Pop music videos largely by accident by simply clicking on recommended videos on YouTube. One of the many recommended videos was the bubbly, cutesy, and colorful song “Gee” released in 2009 by the popular girl group, Girls’ Generation. “Gee” is about young girls who first experience falling in love and how their hearts flutter; the word ‘gee’ in the…

During slavery everyone helped to raise each other’s children especially when parents were sold to other slave owners, other adults in the slave community took care of the children left behind, many slaves protected each other in spite of tribal and language differences. The biggest fear of families then was the threat of a child being sold. Even today…

Revenge for the Loved Chapter 1 Everyone loses someone they care about at one point or another, but I never thought I would lose them all so quickly. Ear splitting grinding and blood curdling screams filled my ears as I felt a strong impact on the right side of the car. It forced us over the edge of the hill, the car rolling roof over chassis, over and over. My head hit the dash, the windshield shattered, and the roof crushed down on top of me. My adrenaline was running so high, I didn't feel…
