    Throughout time laws have come and gone. Many different generations have seen acts that were once considered criminal turn legal, and vice versa. One law that has fluctuated in consistency and rule since 1938 is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

    The night swallowed the sun whole, leaving it’s skeleton behind as the moon. Maybe the night didn’t like bones, or maybe it was full. The night finished it’s meal, but didn’t leave, It seemed like it was waiting for someone to come along and shoo them out, someone to put their foot down and say: “Get out of here, you stinkin’ night!”. The thing is that I probably wasn’t alone, I could feel it. The rustling of the bushes, the cold breeze making my hair stand on end. My breath was sparse, and I…

    writing to express my concern about the amount of maternity leave and the pay provided to new mothers and fathers in the United States.

    started to come down harder, the ice was thickening on the roads and I had an anxious puppy in the car. Just a few months before everything was very different. I had a solid job, what I had thought was happiness, and a great home. When she decided to leave my world turned upside down. Now I was sitting in my Nissan; trunk piled high of loose clothes, and random knick knacks I had collected over the years. She was never the love of my life but I had made her my world.

After about half an hour of waiting, the officers came in and told us to go to the restroom, and then wait out into the large room with the fish to leave. We all went to the hall with the bathroom, which was where Roberto had the best idea I can recall ever hearing. He told us there was a window in that hall, and we realized what he was thinking. Papá opened the window, looked out, and then…
