A Stranger as a Sibling There I was, sitting in my father’s red truck. I was in Mexico for that summer, it was June. My father, who was sitting in the driver’s seat with his brown plaid shirt, was taking me to visit my sister. Trees flew by in the corner of my eyes, sometimes followed by the occasional cow or horse, as we drove off. I was going to stay with my sister for the day, who I only had seen twice in my whole life, and I was only fifteen at the time. An important fact about us, is that…

“ Malachi, get back to work.” Joel said, his voice stern as always. I flinched at the sound of his voice and quickly got back to reading my government book. This week has been especially hard for me to stay focused as it has only brought back memories of my past. It brought back memories of the things I promised myself I would not ever think about again.

Running down a dark, damp alleyway trash all around me. My long red hair pulled back into a ponytail, which was unusual for me, but I had to keep it out of my deep green eyes. At the time I wasn’t sure what I was chasing, all I knew was, it had to be stopped. I had run five blocks exhausted, I stopped to take a breather. Then I heard it a bang! A loud sound behind me.
