The Door

on the frail janitor who stood in front of the silver bars. "I came to mop the end of the hall, turned to greet Lance, but he wasn't there." He explained. " I notified the front." He motioned to his walkie-talkie peeking out from his pocket. The door was locked; no sign of escape was present in the cell except for the absence of the inmate it formerly housed. Aside from the grey and white striped jumpsuit pooled in the center of the unhappy room.…

The Floor of Discrimination “Ding” the silver metal elevator whispers. A young African American enters the small silver box and recognizes a familiar face. She was an older white woman who lived down the hall. Wearing a fancy purple dress, she crammed herself into the far back corner of the elevator. She looked like she had just seen a rat, with her face as white as snow and full of fear. ‘Do you want to come up?’ the young boy asked. ‘No’ she responds in a high pitched whisper and quickly…

The cool breeze whisks through my hair as I stare up into the cloudless night sky. I take a deep breath through my nose and take long, deliberate strides to the end of my driveway.

As I was walking in the hallway to Ms. Johnson’s room, I saw someone standing there that did not recognize that much. Welp, I hope it’s a good sub and not one who just yells at us or sleeps. I went to go grab my folder to work on my Do Now and then to sit into my assigned seat. As soon as I finished my Do Now, I heard someone on the intercom, “In one moment we will start an intruder drill. I will come back on the intercom shortly.”. About 5 minutes later, we were waiting patiently for the…

My decision to read Alice Echol’s “Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin” was sparked by my interest in the 27 Club. The 27 Club refers to a number of popular musicians who died at the age of 27, often as a result of drug or alcohol abuse. Janis Joplin is the first of three members of the 27 Club that I am going to write my life studies on. Janis Lyn Joplin was an American singer-songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 60’s as the lead singer of the psychedelic rock band…

When I first arrived at Starbuck everything was going well. I was turning in my work and it was fine until one day I was speeding through the locker hall and I accidently bumped into Emma. I apologized but she just walked away. So I got my things from my locker and went back to class. That's when Carter, Emma's sister walked up to me and asked me "Did you punch Emma?". I said "Well I accidently pushed her". Then he got in my face and said "You jerk, Karma will get you. You didn't accidently push…
