You see, he was strolling along a quaint park one sunny morning and happened to meet a man that looked quite like Theseus himself. "Good day to you, sir!" Theseus cheerfully greeted the man.

An impulsive act for affection caused me a foreign, agonizing pain. The feeling of suffering and abandonment was heartbreaking. I was alone. I was eight when I first understood the value of pushing myself, yet taking calculated risks. I attempted skiing with a group of experts when I was only a novice.

quivering heart beat at a steady pace and not dangerously revving like a truck engine. Nervousness had already made a cozy home in my stomach and spread to every inch of my inner being.

His name was Mr. Embry or “Embryo” to Finch. Once the story came out that Violet Markey saved damaged, suicidal Theodore Finch from jumping off of the bell tower, Mr. Embry didn’t hesitate to remind Finch that he is on probation and if he ever were to jump off, Embry would be facing a major lawsuit. “If principal Wertz hears about this you’re gone before you can say ‘suspended,’ or worse…
