Feeling comforted by the sight, she once again closed her eyes, but those horrific visions were still fresh in her mind. Rinka realized that the nightmares were becoming more frequent over the past few weeks and even months once she really thought about the many nights of lost sleep. From conversations she’d overheard from her tribal elders and her kinfolk, she knew that the people in Roman…

Their document is stamped with a void and a different document is put in an envelope and passed to Gilbert.

I’ve been spending most of my time with Craig, now that Kenny and Tweek are constantly together. Craig and I were sitting on my bed while he was smoking another cigarette. Bebe’s parents went on another vacation and trusted their daughter. “I don’t want to see those people, even if it’s to get fucking smashed. I’m not feeling great.” Craig drawled as he blew smoke from his mouth. I shook my head in agreement. The rumor mill around school is that literally everyone at South Park High was going.…

it off, because it meant you had something to hide, and then you would be questioned. It keeps a record of everywhere you go and sends it to the government. It is very seldom used, and when it is used, its for a crisis or very important situations. I dig a hole with my hands to put my detector in. Once I have it off and in the hole I burry it. I can’t help but think maybe one day I’ll be able to burry these memories. I start walking around. I have no clue what to do know. I have the cure and…
