A dirt road called Half Breed Drive stretches out of Auburn, Nebraska for just a few miles, through endless cornfields, past a single mailbox. But its history runs deep, with an origin story stretching back 185 years, long before Nebraska was a state, or even a territory. This road traces the top of the western boundary of the Half-Breed Tract, a failed reservation for people rooted in two cultures but welcome in neither. The story that follows only amounts to pieces that I’ve stitched together…

legislatures even attempted to pass laws fixing skirt lengths from 6 to 12 inches from the ground at most (source 6). Elders believed that the new popular women’s clothing signified despicable behavior such as dancing, smoking, and drinking bootleg whisky resulting from prohibition. However, though their fashions suggested such immoral behavior, between this time birth rate fell and divorces increased. Moralists feared that the American family was in crisis, and many feared that the new social…

The walk home from the local football club was dark. Simple as that. It was a clear winter night, and there was no moon in the sky. The only relief from the darkness was the occasional streetlight. The cold air was refreshing on my body, warm from the copious amount of alcohol I had consumed tonight. Georgia wasn’t going to be happy. She thinks my drinking is a bad influence on the kids. She doesn’t want them to grow up like me. That’s always a comforting thing to hear from your wife. I know it…
I just want you to know Callie - you were good enough, you were better than enough. You were everything I wanted, when you were born I did what I knew was best for you, because my precious baby girl, you deserved the world. My life spun off the deep end when I was 17, I had stolen my father's vehicle one night to go to a party, I drove home drunk and ended up writing the car off. My dad was so sick of my rebellious actions, after that night I still remember my father's hand stinging my left…

Way to state the obvious. “You reek of alcohol! Let’s get you cleaned up, figlio.” “Us Italians have huuuuge feet.” I hiccupped, examining the ginormous red sock in my hand. “Those are where we put your presents, love.” She let out a chuckle, which floated in the…
- Why, Leeto? - Well, I thought maybe I... should have breakfast with Mangaliso on Friday before we leave. - You know, just to clear the air. - No. Give him time to cool off. I can't leave this hanging between us any longer. I was wondering if I could take the day off on Friday. Thing is, Magongwa and I are getting married on Friday at Home Affairs. Congratulations to both of you. Just come and fill in a form later. T-O-P-O-A. Onomatopoeia. I'm afraid, that is incorrect. I... A.…

Chapter IV. Urban Legends: The Evolution of Folklore Urban legends are stories that have the designation of being ?too strange to be true? but are based in reality. Despite these fables being a touch on the strange side most people that hear them understand them as being true. Through generations these tales seem to happen to our friends, family members, or even distant relatives. Unlike fairy tales which are meant to be cautionary yet fictional, urban legends represent some form of truth. Think…
