I find it humorous that a bunch of guys who come in every day to train and beat on each other can complain so much, so I laugh at them and leave the locker room. I start out as usual by grabbing a jump rope to warm up a little. The pulsating sound of Rage Against the Machine flows from the CD player. It's a good CD but it gets real old when…

    traced it back to Auntie Anne’s. There we found Keaton face deep in left over pretzels from earlier that day. Keaton raised the gate on the counter, pretending to be an employee. He explained to us that all the stores, restaurants, and maintenance rooms inside the mall are all connected that’s how he was able to get from Victoria’s Secret to Auntie Anne’s and how he turned on all of the lights.

    now beginning to regret joining the military in the first place. After a few more minutes of listening to Shadis' booming voice we were dismissed. I immediately turned around to see Zoe with her arms open, ready to hug me as she always did when I had been crying. "Hey Elias, don't cry.
