The beginning of fall brings changes throughout this wooded area. The leaves are changing colors, and the wind whips around my face just a bit more. As I stray from the path and walk between the trees, I hear a sound from above. I look up, and a raven stares back at me. It flies …
Sweat beads on my forehead. My eye twitches ever so slightly. The knot in my stomach tightens. I’m afraid of what I will face behind that door. I begin to reach for the handle, when it starts rattling. What fear am I about to face?
Before I even opened my eyes, I felt the irritation run through my veins. Ugh! This is disgusting. This human vessel is in a deplorable shape. Why did I end up here? Who is the fool to summon me in this state? I crawl out of the bed that I found myself in, and I …
This feels wrong. Everything about this day feels wrong. The sky is bright blue with not a cloud in sight. Aren’t the heavens supposed to weep on days like this? Why am I the only one crying? The suit fits uncomfortably on my body as the sun bears down. The sweat mixes with my tears …

It’s pathetic how hard the misfit tries to fit in. As if we would ever like her or be friends with her. She’s scrawny and freaky. She was never popular, so why would she think that one of the most popular guys would go out with her? She’ll get what she deserves, and by the …
