Brick walls start off strong....but even they crack over time, they'll become so broken...they'll be no need for someone to climb. I can't even remember what the occasion is. All I know is what I see before me. I'm at Aundre's house, and this is the first time I'm seeing an actual family that's not on some TV show. There's uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, moms, dads, just everything. They all hug eachother and say how they've missed one another, but the way they interact, you'd think they…

After sleeping like a literal bear in hibernation, I wake up with the sun rise that peeks through the windows of my room. Groaning, I slide out of bed and walk sloppily to my bathroom to get ready for the day. I wash my face, brush my hair and leave it down even if I'm training. I just like the feeling of the wind through my thick strands, cooling me from the heat underneath my skin. After this, I slip into the skin-tight training uniform designed especially to be like a second skin and light…

of me to block my path. “You fucking faggot” he said, as his friend spit in my face. Someone else would come up behind and rip my bag open all my books would fall to the floor papers flying everywhere. The kids in the hall would turn and laugh or snicker. In class was no better, when the teacher’s back was turned the back of my head would become a target for all manner of objects, balls of paper, sharp pencils, erasers, gum or whatever else happened to be at hand. I was ostracized even from the…

get back on our own feet again. I always worried that my mom is lonely since my dad is gone, so I asked, “Mom, are you going to try to find a part-time job here. I mean it doesn’t look like we will be going anywhere anytime soon,” I said with a snicker. She sighed and after a moment replied, “I don’t know.” “You don’t have any friends. All you’ve done is sit in that old house since we moved here. I know you are lonely, and don’t try telling me you aren’t.” I had a pitiful look on my face.…

As the US market failed, the US looked to other nations to repay their outstanding debts. As a result of the other nations’ inability to pay, the world economy became stagnant (BBC). With the Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of a ‘depression’ as “a period of low general economic activity marked especially by rising levels of unemployment” one begins to…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I woke up screaming that night. Calling out to an empty room. Calling out to someone who wasn’t there. Screaming for him to stop. But still, no one was there. I was all alone, drowning in silence. That still silence that seemed to hang around me wherever I went. It was deafening.
