The knife in my hand trembles. My sobs forcefully shake my body. The tears stream down my face leaving a salty taste in my mouth. I can't do this anymore. How many times am I going to sacrifice a piece of myself for him? He doesn't love me. He's just using me. Yet, I still …
If you had told me when I was a teenager, that in ten years I would have to teach students how to fight against a flock of fowls rather than to write an essay, I would have laughed in your face. It’s not a laughing matter. When the first wave of chickens began attacking their …
Yawning, I try to keep my focus on the road. I knew it was a mistake to leave this late at night, but I just got so distracted. I yawn again, this time my eyes watering. I blink to get rid of the tears. My vision cleared just in time for me to see an …

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’ve been wanting to make this trek for a while now. I wanted to take this hike with some of my friends, but they weren’t able to join. I’m close to getting out of breath, when I find a nice shaded area off to the side. I head in that direction. Once there, I discovered …
The anger is burning hot within me with every word spewing from his mouth. I hear people muttering nervously, but I ignore them. I'm much more focused on the vile oaf in front of me talking down to me. Does this idiot really think he could ever be a match for me? I glare at …
