What About Bob?

that it was bad news or my mom wouldn’t pull me out of class. My stomach was in my throat. Each step I take my heart races faster. I got to the office and my mom said, “Let’s take a walk.” “Okay,” I said. “What happened?” “I resigned today.” I was breathless. I couldn’t form words for what I was feeling. It was like my whole world had taken a sharp right turn and fell off a…

My mom always got up earlier than me because she was a teacher, she came in my room before she left this particular morning to remind me to stop by Georgia power to pay a bill and not to forget about my tutoring sessions I had at omega that evening. I yelled okay and went back to sleep. The buzz of my alarm startled me and I jumped up and got ready to the shower. It was the start of another routine morning, or so I thought. I took a shower, and looked for something to wear. All of this took a…

shocking and scary thing happened. One of my best friends got hit by a train around 3:10 while he was in his car. So right after school. His name is Austin Cole Wiseman. At 7:16PM one of my friends texted me and said “Did you hear about Austin Wiseman?” and I said, “ No! What happened?”. She said he was driving with a 15 year old girl and their car was hit by a train and they are both in critical condition.” I thought she had been joking at first, even though she usually wasn’t the person to…

feeling uncomfortable the whole drive. Well, this is exactly what happened to my family on our 2016 road trip to California. Not to mention we had everything planned. Every place, cost, time, and snack. What could have possibly gone wrong? For as far back as I can remember, every other summer my family has taken a long journey to Southern California to visit relatives. Had we ever flown? Yes, but only when there were 2 children to worry about. Now that there are 8 of us, things would have…

You know them. Say one thing, do the other. I’d reckon they thought I was lyin’ to ‘em or cheatin’ ‘em.” But that was a lie. John knew what was going on. He was supposed to trade their beads, food, weapons, and ammunition for the pelts. These pelts were going to be sold to people in the States or in Europe for a MUCH higher profit, worth more than the beads, food, weapons, and ammunition…

personality? The great traumatic event has negative effects towards the family's wellbeing. The impact was greatly dealt with the lady of the Brennan family. Tom's mother has not been able to forget the accident and move on. It is impossible to change what has already happened, therefore the individual must move on in order to achieve happiness. You are unknown to the future, although the past can be just as bewildering. Kyle is often seen as a person who gazes into the future and does not…

heart shaped scar stood out from its place above her left breast. Her feet are bare. In her hands is a plank of wood, splattered in blood and guts, and needles filled with oddly coloured substances. A long necklaces hangs at her belly, decorated with what appeared to be…

It had finally come. The letter that determined whether or not I could make it in this world, if dancing was what I was born to do or just some extra curricular. It was the letter from Juilliard Dance, one of the best dance schools in america, and I couldn't bring myself to open it. What if I didn’t get in, then what would I do. I cant go to any other schools, I’m destined for this specific one. I finally built up all my confidence to open the letter and read it, skimming over all the minor…

blade under my sheets and I quickly pulled down my sleeve to try and not look suspicious, but I wasn't fast enough, my boyfriend, Leon saw me pull my sleeve down and raised an eyebrow before swiftly closing the door and marching over to me. "Emil! What were you doing?!" he said in a hushed, angry voice, to make sure no one else heard. "Nothing." I said quietly, diverting my eyes, Leon sighed and sat down on my bed next to me. "Hey" he said in a now gentle tone, "Look at me." He cup my face and…

possibility of resurrection. Here, he is dead to those who reside in the U.S. while he is alive to those who are home. The story is playing with focalization, twisting from one character and what they know to the next, jumping from country to country…
