Joen Klausen wandered the quiet white forest, sniffing the scents of elks and foxes. His brown coat matched the palette of his surroundings. His wispy blue eyes gazing at the scene. He only just recently left his tragedy of a home, his parents’ dead corpses lay behind his trail of bloody paw prints. He traveled to Maine Frosts’ Vista, the three mountains that had a blizzard remaining on them for centuries. That’s where he would be left alone forever, barely any life lived there anymore. He…

We had the jocks and athletes, the popular crowd, the nerds and the band geeks, the drama kids. But me? I didn’t really belong in any group exactly. I used to do everything; drama, band, art, sports. Everyone knew me, and everyone liked me. Jackson High School was everything that was anything to me. Honestly, life was great... That is,…

Every day I am in misery. All the little sounds, it’s like they follow me wherever I go. Constantly tormenting me and pushing me to my limit. I have tried to go to the doctor but he always tells me that it’s all in my head. That is what everyone tells me, but it’s not, it can’t be. This… condition cannot be all in my head. It must be that my hearing is more tuned in than everyone else. That is the only possible way that I can hear the door closing and opening next door. Why when my mother cracks…

The quest for the loading area seemed like something out of a horror film, when the blonde haired girl went searching for the murderer, after she heard a piercing scream. My entire body could barely hold itself together, with the anticipation of this monumental nightmarish event about to take place. Taking in my environment, I looked around at all the blank faces and said with a long breath “This is…
