The scenery around me was so jaw dropping I almost forgot about all the little pinches I was getting. They were just a pinch, like a needle but it hurt so bad. Nothing like I ever experienced before. The city was filled with people not bugs!! Tamara finally asked, “Why are you itching and swatting all over?” I said, “I’m being attacked by some weird insects.” “It might be mosquitos, gnats, or just plain bugs.” Tamara said. I had no idea what those were but I didn’t want to sound like a…

I neared the spot and could make out the words “Hel…” the last word, looked like someone had drew it if they had been in a hurry to write it before they were taken away. Fear encased my brain as I wandered what actually went on behind those doors. Knowing that in only 15 more minutes it was my turn. I returned to my seat and looked around. I felt trapped to see…

The sun gleamed through Naomi’s bedroom window, highlighting the red strands of her hair. Laying in her bed, eyes closed, peaceful. Her bedroom door opens and her mother comes in and kisses her forehead. “Good Morning baby.” the mother said, running her fingers through Naomi’s hair.

The smell of bacon and eggs filled the house.…

She was light headed and did not know what was going on. She started walking, taking in the destruction of her town showing no emotion but acceptance. She did not…

see them everyday. On my way to school, and coming home. But I think I see them most in my dreams. They spin around me, a dizzying whirl or lights. Somehow, I always wake up crying. It's been six years since my father left, and six years since I saw the headlights of his car, driving away. I remember the night he left. The screaming downstairs, the grinding of the garage door, the slam of a car door. Then, all I could hear was tears. And all I could see was tears as I pressed my wet face to the…
