Swoosh

Swoosh! Bang! Pow! The man hits Lavinia in the gut with a baseball bat. She falls to the floor and with a thud, she hits her head on the doorknob and is now unconscious. The Lonely One covers her face with a mask and ties her hands behind her back. He turned off the lights, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. He checked to make sure the coast was clear and then carried her to his car and put her in the back seat. What he did not know was that as he shut the door Francine was calling,…

I awoke on a grim and foggy morning. Ten inches of snow laid on the ground, and snow still drifted delicately down. My tribe, the Amorites, were all still sleeping. The visibility was but a few feet, and the atmosphere seemed strange. Something was brewing, but even I did not for-see what would happen on that dreadful day. As I stood outside breathing in the misty air, a piercing scream suddenly broke the silence. I sprinted indoors to grab my shield and sword and took off in the direction of…

Every time a shot is made, the same reaction occurs, “Mommy! Daddy! Look! I made another one!” Tears begin to flow...a superstar has been born.

The other team in white…
