I’m standing there in shock. He’s standing in front of me with his dog on a chain growling and looking hungry. I stay quiet as he goes on a monologue. My eyes track him as he chains his dog to the wall and begins walking closer to the trap I planned. As he begins to …
I’m standing there as I watch my crush, Selene, talk to some guy. Her laugh that I love so much is on full display. I’m getting jealous when I hear her asking him if he wanted to join her and some friends and go BASE jumping. When he agrees, I can’t help myself. “I can …
