I was hoping that one day something inside of me would just click and I would see my new plan appear right in front of me, but that never happened. There’s no big, grand story of a magical moment where I suddenly realized what exactly I wanted to be my future to be like.

I let out a shuddered breath, mostly out of anger. “So, you drag me away from my family and friends…Just to join you, MURDERERS!?” I asked, wailing the last part. The man sat there, seeming unfazed by my bickering. “I assure you, that we only kill those who are out to kill us…there is no need for the name calling.” he said after a long moment of silence, then clasping his hands together…

Bugs love me. It is an unrequited love. In the forests of North Carolina where I have spent summers since I was seven years old, it was a constant battle not to be consumed by the never ending mass of insects who rated me five-star cuisine. Maybe it was my fair skin, the light hue that drew them like a lantern in the night. Or maybe it was my fresh mint shampoo that made them think I was a part of the nature they so adored. Nevertheless I learned to coexist. It was in those forests I learned to…

Hatchet Head Before I realized what I’d done, “boom”, it plummeted down and hit me on the head. Minutes previous to the accident, I had been on a scavenger hunt searching for the golden hatchet, looking everywhere, up and down, left, right, but still had not found it. I heard my teammate Grace scream, “Check the Fort” I ran inside the open gate and down the long fence. Once I reached the old ladder I didn’t think twice, I sprinted up it. After quickly reaching the first floor of the fort the…

old lady. We also heard a rumor on how her husband died. They say her husband died in a small crane when they ground around him just caved in and buried him alive. An every day we would look up at the top of the hill and look and wonder what was inside the barn because we see the old lady keep going in and out of the barn all day.
