The Missing

opened the browser and started browsing missing children, she read many articles about them. She got to the end of the google page and realized that she skipped some of the websites. So she opened the websites and started reading about other missing children. Each website had the same person. Oh my gosh. What? She thought, just as Sean raged into her house. "Why does the websites say your missing? Tekica, what 's going on. Do you know anything about this," he realized tears in her eyes, "are you okay? We 'll figure all this out. Don 't worry." Through her sobbing she found words to say, "Sean, I 'd be lying if I told you I was okay. I 'd be lying if I said I knew what was going on." It all hit her at once, what if this isn 't my family? Why have they been lying to me? If this isn 't my family, then who is? This can 't be real. Two hours later her supposedly family entered the door. The house was no longer a ghost town, but her heart still was. "We 're home! We brought food, come get. How was your day love?" Tekica felt like a stranger, a person her didn 't belong…

fire. The bills left on the kitchen counter, the Verizon bill. The dog that detective believes was a pet within the residence. Did anybody take the dog before the fire? The vehicles that were not in the garage. The neighbor discovering his rear license plates were gone, that he reported on the evening of the incident. The license plates from the neighbor that he reported were missing before the incident had occurred. But besides all that I would focus on the frame that said, "Love Birds", the…

chuckling under their breath. Watching as my face began to light up bright red with immense, embarrassment as my frail arms began to shake under the force of the barbell. I would have laughed too. Entering a new environment like this made me overwhelmed and lost; without my veteran workout partner by my side, I would have been eaten alive. Eaten by the fear of failure.

She makes the day turn around by murdering her husband and smartly covering it up, leaving the detectives with no possible way to excuse “innocent” Mary of murder. This short story, we are taught…

land their home, and today we have taken that right from them. Aboriginal communities by far have the worst housing, less education and lower health status. This is not due to the mistakes they might have made, it is due to the mistakes that the media, the general public, and the mistakes from the government of Canada. As of April 1st 2015, there are 1750 aboriginal females missing, and these are just the ones that were reported. The government of Canada continue to ignore the issues that arise…

Liping had told me so many wonderful things about China, but I wanted to know about the harder times. I decided to do further research starting with the missing women in China due to the one-child policy, the education of Chinese women primarily after they have gotten married, and depression and suicide amongst women.
