After finally coming to a rest at the bottom of the hill, Jonas brushes himself off and is frantically checking Gabe for injuries when he hears someone calling out to him. “Are you two hurt?!” exclaims a middle aged woman. Gabriel lets out a weak, little cry and Jonas tries to comfort him while answering, “We are fine, just tired and very hungry.” “Well, just follow me then, supper is almost…

football every Sunday. Football is a tradition in our family. I like to watch my favorite team the most which is the Denver Broncos. I have their quarterback, Peyton Manning, on my wall in my room. I love sports. Without sports I don’t know where I would be. When I’m depressed or stressed out, I go to sports to cheer me up. I get really “into the game” and emotional. Sports mean so much to me. Instead of taking video games or grounding me when I have bad behavior or when I get in trouble, my…

call. Her mom answered on the second ring, “Drew?” “Mrs. Waters.” I answered. “I assume you’re calling about Stormy?” “Yes ma’am. We know that Cole has her.” “Yes…he does.” She replied, cooly. “You already knew that?” I asked in confusion. She laughed a psychotic laugh, “Of course we know, he’s good for her.” Rhett stared at the phone, a mixture of disgust, anger, and shock across his face. “Where are they?” I growled. “Some place quiet, secluded, some place they can start their lives…

“Where is Tyler?” Normally, this could have been an easily answered question, considering Tyler was my boyfriend I was normally with him. This Thursday we were lucky enough to have a 2 and a half early dismissal and no school Friday, so I had plans with a friend of mine to hang out and I was waiting for him to come home from work. When my friend, Savannah, called me, I expected it to be the regular question she would ask: “Can you take me to ___?”. This was not the case on January 14th, 2016.…

face was depressed and calling out for a match to rid it of its misery. Apparently the universe thought the ugly brown color of the siding wasn't enough and bestowed the house with acute scoliosis. The grass grabbed at her and her mother's ankles while they dragged their two suitcases containing their entire lives to the front door. Something about the dark green slab of wood separating them and the inside of their new home gave the appearance of a frown. Laney wasn't sure where in the bad…

As it often does with us, time seems to fly by and before they know it the day is far spent and they are far from home. By all accounts except for John’s, here is where…
