The sky divided with the crash of lightning. The ground rumbled, making the towering boxes stacked in the McBride’s new apartment make a tremendous fall to the floor. It could clearly be mistaken as the end of the world.

In May 2008, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with my family and my cousins. It was our annual family reunion and we decided to do something different this year. I remember it like it was yesterday; we woke up at the crack of dawn on a Thursday morning. When we got on the Carnival Paradise, after driving all morning to Florida. My sister Quantoria, and I were very excited to go on our first cruise. The best thing about the cruise to me is the unlimited about of food that you could eat. It…

In addition, the death…
