Thursday April 23, 2015 was a normal morning for me. I woke up, got ready for school, and went to pick Debra up for school. Debra was my best friend and we carpooled every morning to school. I went to first and second hour like normal, but during academic focus around 10:30 a.m. I received a call that left me puzzled. “Hello, I work with the Belton Police Department, is this Brandy?” asked a man. He then went on to ask me if I knew someone by the name Shanon Harvey. “Yes I know him,…

R As a person in the world we call home, that we see as an extraordinary yet cruel planet, questions constantly are asked about our own human race around us why they do what they do; with knowledge the answers can come as close as we allow them to. When I take my time to look at my family or, other people 's family anywhere I take place not only do I recognize a body structure with fascinating features created but, I also very much so take my deepest effort to see what lies inside beyond that…

Ernest Cassidy was familiar with the tales and secrets of Putney Mountain having lived his entire life in the two story house in the quaint little town of Howardsville located southwest of Charleston, West Virginia. The town’s history was filled with myths and legends about missing people when they went on the mountain to explore the freaky activities. Since he had grown accustomed to the rumors, Mr. Cassidy paid little attention when he heard people talking about the mountain. One morning after…

My First Hunt This even happened back in 2009 when I was eight years old. It was my first time hunting with my dad and he was going to let me shoot whatever walked out. My dad loves to hunt and has killed many of deer over the years so when he asked me to go with him, I said yes because I wanted to bond with him and have father-son time. That night I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited to hunt with my dad but finally I fell asleep. The next day I woke up to get ready and packed. We…

Chapter FIVE: Family Reunion? Yeah Right! It 's not everyday I get woken up by my mom drunkenly screaming that she found her husband. I looked at the clock, 3:30. I had no idea how to nurse a hangover and better yet no idea how to talk to my mom even while she 's drunk. This had only happened the day my dad disappeared. After that she left me at peace and rarely came to visit. “Sweet heart. I found your dad.” My mom proudly slurred “Mom please don 't ever come home drunk.” I say as she…

When I was little, I wanted to be, or even be the daughter of, a movie star. Just like every little girl wants to be. I wanted to wear upscale clothes, have all the money in the world, travel all over the planet, and own excessive houses. That’s basically the life Grace has in Grace Happens, by Jan M. Czech. Her mom, Constance Meredith, is a movie star, which means Grace has a modern and spoiled life. Except, Grace just wants to be normal. She is determined to become as normal as possible. She…

In life there are many situations you come across where you must decide whether to stay quiet or speak up. Most of the times I decide to stay quiet and turn the other cheek, but during the summer I decided to step out of my comfort zone. In April my boyfriend bought us tickets to go to the Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point California. This was the present he gave me for our three year anniversary and it was the best thing that anyone has ever given me. I was extremely excited because my…

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don 't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”-Lao Tzu. Often humans don’t like sudden changes and being out of their comfort zone. We go through changes all throughout our lives, and often we learn to accept that change or at least adapt to it. Positive changes can help us with life’s situations and negative changes can help us learn to solve situations and…

I lived a very fortunate life. My life was not perfect, but there wasn’t much I had to worry about. Tragedy had never entered before. All of that changed when I was informed of horrifying news one January afternoon. There are two days that I can recall perfectly. The first one was the day my granny had a stroke. The second was the day she passed away. I was in physical therapy with my mom for my back. She got a phone call and I knew the second she answered it something was not right. She…

It’s just another day for me. Another day to be slayed by the knight and watch in envy as he carries the princess to ‘safety’. My life is only a fairytale. A fairytale in which I am the villain and the knight is the hero. I never wanted to be born like this and I mostly certainly don’t want it to continue happening. However, it cannot come to a halt. I have endless lives and endless nights and days to cry out in agony on how fucking bad my life is. When I try to speak, a blazing blue inferno…
