    cultural studies, studied goths in Brighton, Edinburgh, Berlin and Cologne makes an interesting statement. “ ... goths were given a bad press after the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado. Lyrics penned by the singer Marilyn Manson were blamed for inciting the shooting in which 12 students and a teacher were killed.” The famous goth singer Marilyn Manson was depicted as evil because of this disaster, as well as the goth community for belonging to the same group as her. The reason that the media believed that goth people were behind the murders was because the people that committed the crime were wearing black clothes. The fact is that goths aren’t the only group of people that like to wear a great amount of black clothing, punks, emos, and satanists are other subcultures that have also taken a preference to wearing a great amount of black clothing too.

This is a conclusion that's wrong because it's based on faulty thinking or facts that are wrong that people don’t take the time to investigate on a topic.…

    Minutes passed, as I accidentally slipped and hit my head on a tree. Waking up I was next to Autumn who was also unconscious, but in my memory, I never witnessed Autumn being unconscious. The situation had confused me, as I would also be suspicious of something being hidden in the forest messing with us. Just then Autumn would wake up and she could not recall what had happened when I was unconscious. “Ow, my head really hurts,” murmured Autumn still not fully conscious. Observing the area we…

    A crunch sounded under my foot and I assumed that I stepped on glass. It was probably just a leftover drink. A slimy feeling brushed down my leg and wetted my leggings. I shuffled out the way and Ves steadied me. Another song came on and I let out my screams again, pausing momentarily when a hair raising scream emerged from nearby. I looked back for Vesper’s confirmation on whether or not he had heard it. He nodded. The hair on my body stood rigid, but I kept on singing. Another high pitch…

A loud wheeze quickly escaped the person I had sat on. Stranger’s eyelid’s pulled back slowly…

    I bent my leg and put my heel down. It never occurred to me that I could get hurt. My heel slipped and I feel what seemed 500 feet, but was only 5 inches. I screamed in pain, “Agh!” My body started to panic, as if it was going into lockdown. Everything was confusing, nothing made sense, things like soap and shampoo, turned into things that didn’t even exist. My hand went instantly to my head, and the sight I saw on my hand was the scariest thing I had ever seen, blood. Us as humans like to be…
