As the sun kissed the horizon and the birds chirped, Rainsford's eyes fluttered open. He hadn’t felt more rested. He looked around and the room and was quickly reminded of what had happened the night before. There was Zaroff’s blood on the wood floor. It looked like it still hadn't dried yet. He shook his head and made his way out the bedroom door and to the kitchen. His left forearm was aching with pain. He pulled up his pajama sleeve and turned his arm over. He saw a huge gash on his forearm.…

It's been a couple of weeks, but America is still recovering from the surprising debacle that is Donald Trump's victory.

When I was drowning, I never felt more alive. Gods, I can’t really explain it. Not in a way anyone else would understand. But here. Imagine this: you’re a bird and when you’re flying is the only time you’ve ever felt safe, only for your wings to be ripped off suddenly, without care. In free fall, you shiver and scream in fear—but adrenaline rushes through your veins like it hasn’t in years. Suddenly, you’re addicted to this feeling of helplessness. Suddenly, you’re okay with dying, if only…

skin? Carter G. Woodson explains in The Mis-Education of the Negro blacks in his day were being “culturally indoctrinated” rather than being taught in the American schools. Woodson encouraged his readers to do the unthinkable “do for themselves” nevermind what they were taught. Consequently, whites seem to surmise blacks did not acquire the pleasure of being “taught” anything at all. “When you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about a man’s actions.
