Jenny Was a Friend of Mine

This was the first time anyone in the room had heard that the doctor actually found something. “What did you find?” Logan asked. The truth was, he wasn’t sure. Bond took his cell phone out of his pocket and said to no one in particular, “Anyone know how to read French? It’s in my cell phone.” Jenny replied, “No, but Google does. Hand me your phone.” The doctor scrolled up to the picture he took that night in the museum. “Here you go little lady, take your best shot.” “What did you find…

luckily. I was now in my element. Music on, world off. I went along the same route, passing all the same oak trees, taking all the right roads as per normal. This was where my mind started to wonder about my zero again with 09:45:59 left, until it hit me, literally. The world stopped in an 'inception' type moment and I felt as if I had just been blessed with viewing the most beautiful angel God could offer me. The first…

that you live in. The only difference is that a safe house is used by spies to safely hide from the enemy When I woke up, the bed was empty. Eliza, Malcolm and Blake were sitting on the couch watching tv. I grabbed my laptop and walked over to them, sat down in between Blake 's legs and placed my laptop on my lap. I went to my Facebook page and saw that my family was messaging me. I closed the account and slammed my laptop shut, scared. Blake looked down scared. "When did you get here, babe?"…

Hannah felt an overwhelming sense of betrayal from her family and friends, and began to exhibit warning signs of suicide, not that anyone connected the dots. Hannah cut her hair off, hoping to get some kind of a reaction, “When I cut my hair, my mom didn’t even notice.” Even though it was such a small thing, it really rattled her and added to her thoughts of suicide which were not serious at the time. Hannah gave the credit…

It reminds of a friend of mine pays his young kids $1 for each thank you note they write. I've received some of these thank you notes And I can tell by reading them that they were written under a certain duress. My wife and I look askance at this practice. We wonder how these kids will turn out. Now, it could be that by writing thank you notes for pay they get in the habit of writing thank you notes. That was Jean's idea, so that when they grow up and no one's…

that I was gay and I ended up yelling “I’m gay!” throughout our house, blissfully unaware of what I was saying. My sister isn’t a homophobe, though. She came out as bisexual when she was around thirteen years old, and I remember her telling me she was dating a girl a few years after that. If I’m being honest, I thought it was kind of cool, but I never thought I would ever be into girls. I had a new crush on a boy almost every year, how could I like girls? I had always had a feeling that I was…

White Privilege in our reading groups, as my bandaids are the same color as my skin. I have felt grateful as I read about the lives of women before my time, those who worked hard to make college available and a norm for me in “This Woman's Work” by Jenny Price. Without the work of Kathryn Clarenbach, I may still be asking, “Is it alright for me to take some of the family money for…

commercials. Bradbury’s vision of today seems to be precise seeing that people started to care less about each other, people stop thinking due to the overload of technological advances and TV screens replace books. “‘Henry, open up the iPad for Jenny, she’s been crying a lot lately. Keep her quiet for just an hour, I need to finish up this work.’ I overheard my cousin sister yell across the living room. “I plunk the children…

family. it was supposed to be a lazy day for everyone. My days had consisted of watching television and eating snacks instead of actual meals. I was watching my favorite TV show at the time when my dad had received a call from my brother’s mom, something had happened to my brother. My brother had gotten into a car crash. He was alright, although now I cherish him more and worry about my family’s car safety a little more than I used to. It all started when my dad got a phone call. My dad was on…
