It was a very cold but normal December day, everyone in town was doing what they usually do, take kids to school, go to work, get coffee and visit one another. Henry Dunkin was an ordinary 13 year old boy who was tall with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He was very liked by the citizens in the town so you wouldn’t expect anyone to harm him, right? Two weeks ago on a Tuesday, this was a day like any other, the sun was shining and there was a chilly breeze just off the east coast. In the bakery up…

driveway leading to a small two level cottage splattered with colorful lights and icy silt. Three figures slowly open their doors and step onto the frosty gravel. The first is a man no older than forty. White stubble splatters his face and his black hair moves in the frosty winds, his height resembles a small spruce tree that is newly planted, tall but lanky. As the wind blows snow into his chiseled face his blue eyes shine in contrast.…

“ Malachi, get back to work.” Joel said, his voice stern as always. I flinched at the sound of his voice and quickly got back to reading my government book. This week has been especially hard for me to stay focused as it has only brought back memories of my past. It brought back memories of the things I promised myself I would not ever think about again. The pain I felt, it was just unbearable. But I knew I could not show it or else,... or else suspicion would start to arise, and that would…

Americans saw a drastic social change in the years immediately following World War II. Young women sought out help and support from major magazines, specifically Seventeen Magazine in the years 1946 and 1947. Both teenage girls and young women were the targeted audience, and though they were close in age, their social interactions and fashion senses were on separate ends of the spectrum.

good distance away, Perceval noted it was a girl wandering up the beach toward him, and oddly her movements were familiar. She wore a sleeveless flowing pink dress, one a princess might, and her light brown hair whipped around her face in the breeze. The girl, about age eight or so, shoved the hair away from her face and grinned. Perceval wondered if his heart might stop. Gods, it was his sister, Deryn, his beloved younger sibling who had died when she was seven years old, along with Perceval’s…

This was the first time I had ever been to her house. Her mom picked the five us up from swim practice and drove us to their house. She had a relatively long, concrete driveway. I stepped outside of the Chevy Suburban and my wet hair felt cold when the spring wind softly blew. I noticed that there was a chimney and the house was very large. This house was beautiful and covered with an intricate brick pattern. Through the long windows I could see beige curtains. The grass was very…

“Hey, Hayley, you should stop now. You have been punching the bag for 6 hours. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself,” Ricky told me. I did not really care what he said and kept punching the bag. “HAYLEY” Ricky yelled. “WHAT” I stopped what I was doing and yelled back. “Finally you listen,” he said with annoyance “I know being the new leader of the Black Knights is going to be tough. Even though you’re 17, you’re not the only young leaders and without parents all the other gangs have lots…

As Andy is walking to the dog park he is wondering is this their last move to a new home or are they…
