I close my eyes, my hands gripping my hair. I tighten my hands enough to cause pain, but it doesn’t work. I still remember. How could I be so stupid? Why am I so worthless? I just want to forget, but the images keep flashing across my mind. The memories won’t leave me be. I …
I complete the hardest task under the eagle eye of my mentor. I'm nervous. She's the strictest mistress here, and one wrong move under her eye spells my end. With a slight tremble in my hand, I clutch the knife tighter. I move to cut at the body, still wriggling around. This is the first …
We're entering into our third hour of what was supposed to be a one hour meeting, and I'm getting irritated. I feel my eye twitching increase as another speaker is introduced.

I look forward, glaring in anger. I know I’m clenching my hand too tightly, but I ignore any pain. The blood from my palm drips down my fingers and lands on my bouquet. How could they do this to me? My sister and the “love” of my life betrayed me. This was supposed to be …
I tilt my head, staring vacantly forward. I feel a smile slowly creep up my face. I watch as the flame grows bigger and bigger. I laugh as the screams reach my ears.
