The old man watched with a furious face, sweat glistening on his forehead as the gleam of the crescent moon shined above him. He patiently waited on the right time to attack. As his former childhood friend walked out with a freshly baked yellow cake and a beaming grin. Seconds later all was red.
Seating in the courtroom the distant yet close cries were heard and the sounding of the gravel decided his fate.

The concrete trail seemed endless. No hills, no valleys, no wind, it was perfect. My feet landed hard with each stride, and carried me for what felt like forever. I was an unstoppable machine. Sweat entered my eyes, my throat became dry. My blurred vision darkened the perfect blue sky. Warmth from the beating sun ceased. Did I pass the finish line? When my vision returned I awoke in my wheelchair.

She walked through the door and it was as if all the lights in the resturant were acting as a spot light was shining on her face. Nothing seemed real nothing seemed right, asking that big question is always a fright. Getting denied would worsen my sleep at night. Her heart is so bright I can't wait to propose on sight. Only her lover for me wasn't on my level of height. At that moment I knew it wasn't right.

He was just laying in bed taking in the scent of the fresh fruits and eggs that were given to him by his mom. Everyone was happy taking in the moment. His whole family was there laughing, playing around, and bringing the old memories of when he was younger. The sky was clear of clouds and the suns intense rays were hitting everyone's back giving the sensation of heat.
Later that evening the clouds were everywhere no light being shown. Thunder shook the room where everyone was sitting in tears, the sorrow was present with everyone's emotion. There was no joy nor memories being shared and passed around, just hugs and tears.

As I sat alone at the party, all I can think of was her, and only her. Her golden hair, her white smile, I can only think of her beauty and her sitting beside me. My mind was just full of her image and nothing else, I couldn't think of anything else. As I looked up to see everyone else with their partner, it felt like someone stab my heart and twisted it, because I knew, I messed up, it was my fault, I was the one who walked away. I didn't even deserve her anyways, she was too perfect for me, she could find someone better than me. Then I saw her, she was walking towards me with her golden hair and white smile, was I dreaming, was this really happening, was I about to be given another chance. She said to me "I want to be together again". Then, I woke up, it was just a dream, it was to good to be true.

It was just another camping trip. Her family took a few every summer and it was always the same thing. Swimming in the lake, playing on the rope swing, and roasting marshmallows over the campfire. This routine became more and more boring the longer it went on. She decided to make a change. Her and her cousin decided that after everyone went to bed they were gonna explore further than what they ever have. Going over the imaginary line they were told to never cross. They walked alone in this unknown area full of trees and darkness.

we walked hand in hand with perfect symmetry as the trees danced and birds sang in unison, just like us. I stop to watch a little boy scream with joy as a dog jumped up and down begging for his attention. They start to walk off and I snap back in to the moment between you and me, but I must have been watching for to long because your soft vanilla scented hands have left my rough wood like ones. I turn to see you waled miles away in the distance. You turned abruptly your your gorgeous smile still plastered on your face. Our eyes meet and you start to run towards me. I hold out my hands for yours to take, but they drop as soon as your black curls flow past me and into anthers arms.

We were together forever, like mammals and oxygen. Nothing in this world could ever pull us apart. The memories that we created and the days we spent dreaming. Love in the air was like no other, trusting them with our lives. We could tell each other everything and not have a care in the world. In love with all of each others flaws and sins. Lasting a lifetime.

Until one day that life time ended. Believing that love could be real. Believing that together forever could really become reality. Thinking the world would be complete with them in our lives. Believing in a lie we call "love".

She awoke from a crazy haunting nightmare she could never recover from. She was traumatized head to toe. Her body was as stiff as a plank as she awoke. Lying there in pitch black...silence. Could not and would not move from what she thought was her last waking hours, she prayed for her life. Something was in that room with her. Something had woken her up

I gazed to my left and there were people huddling near the table. Girls and boys all gasping while looking down. I hurried to gather next to them to get a sense of what they were looking at. I see someone laying there. Blond hair, blue eyes. No, no, no. I hoped that it was all just a mistake. I felt a surge of panic flash through my body. The agony I was suffering through increased when I met them near the table and pushed my 5 foot body through the crowd. Peoples voices echoed in my head. I'm sorry, over and over again.

I felt all alone. Not a single drop of sorrow or empathy was given. The peace I had once felt was gone. I was emotionless. Numb to the very tip. It was because of me and now everyone knew the truth.

The van was all packed up. I will be roadtripping for the next 4 weeks onto something bigger and better. As I drove down the street I looked back to see his blue Toyota Corolla for the last time. Thinking to myself that this was right, I needed to end things before he proposed. As I start my journey I continued along the Oregon Coast. Finding some peace to get away from the last time I had to say goodbye. I found a perfect camping spot in the middle of the woods. So peaceful I could hear God talk directly to me. As I sat and thought about all the memories we had together I am filled with regret. Wishing I didn't end things. Wishing I didn't say those words. Wishing I could turn back the clocks and do everything differently. But I couldn't the past is the past and I have to move on. The next morning the sun was shining and it was beautiful day in Oregon. I pull open the shades in my van to find a parked car behind me that I recognized. It was light blue just like I remembered it. I looked a little closer to see him. I saw the bright blue eyes and the brown curly hair that I had missed seeing everyday. I got out of bed and stepped out of the van. He was waiting for me outside of his car. I ran to him and was greeted with a giant bear hug. This feeling is what I have been missing all long. All the heartache was worth it.

I always hated her I never understood why people surrounded her swarmed like a carcass by vultures. I hated it maybe I was only jealous wishing people loved and paid attention to me like they did to her. Running through the halls of my old horrible school I crash into her head on collision. I wasn't even the one on the floor and she was asking.
"Are you okay?" "Did you hit your head?"
Angry with her empathy I just walk away leaving her on the floor with her stupid questions. I understand now I'm just a hateful person and I'll always be fine with that. Sitting in class watching the time tick by until that final bell rings, shifting out of my seat slow enough that moss grows on my back. I didn't want to run into her, did I hate her did I envy her or did I simply love her but I can't comprehend these feelings for I don't love myself. I don't care I'm 16 I'll find someone I truly care about later, right? Or is this it no I can't think like that. I'll speak to her tomorrow I have to clear my head and help me stop standing in the doorway of my mind.
I figured out where I collided into her and waited, and waited, and continuously waited. No show, I figured she wasn't worth my time and finish my day at school with only her on my mind.
It's been weeks and still no sign of this girl everyone loved so I finally built up all the courage I could and asked her friends what had happened. Nothing too bad maybe sick, switched schools, like I have tried to convince myself I don't love her because I truly don't love myself. But I was wrong she died on a car ride I wasn't told where I wasn't told when, I didn't know if I regretted not saying anything to her. Years later I'm still not over it why didn't I say anything why did I live in my shell.

From rooftop to rooftop they went and they stop because of a big gap. One guy jumped across and made it to the rooftop. Guy one said, "Jump!" Guy 2 said, "No way what do you think I am crazy?"

Guy 2 get's captured while his friend made it to freedom, even though that was his mission in the first place.

The mind racing like a track star on pavement finally relaxed like after working hours in the hot sun. Peacefully in motion like a perfectly made engine, in sync with the world.                                 Not an ounce of stress on the mind. Till the effects ware off and the cold world comes back to life like a villain in a movie comes right off the screen. Reality sets back in and the same routine starts over like a broken record. Life sets in then your out the door.

It is deep and blue. The vast ocean ahead of Beck. He swam deeper and deeper skimming  beautiful reefs along the way. The clear blue water washed over his skin as he felt the openness around him. Passing by multi-colored fish and sea creatures just wanting to say "hi". He was a part of the ocean.

Then all of a sudden Beck was racing through the water just trying to reach the surface. He was moving faster than he ever had before knowing if he didn't get away it would mean the end for him. He felt the surface pressure as he pulled out of the water right before the attack. Beck looked over the edge hoping that the giant shark has swam back to the deep.

I lay here on the dull concrete; the cold of the stone against my face is my only source of feeling. Aside from that, I am numb. But it’s not the kind of numb where you feel nothing, no—it’s the kind of numb that bubbles across the surface of your senses, bringing your goosebumps to their pique and tears to your eyes. It’s the kind of numb that turns sunshine to storm clouds but welcome rainfall to droughts. The kind of numbness that threatens to eat you alive. Its power is unavoidable, as is my inevitable downfall. I’ve said too many hurtful things in my life, all of which I cannot be forgiven for. I tried to better myself, but whenever I attempted, the wrong words always slipped out. It’s easy to be sorry, but what’s harder is taking responsibility for your actions when, deep down, you cannot bring yourself to condemn them. I never meant to hurt others, and sometimes we all do things we regret. But I do not regret this. I may forever be sorry—sorry for the suffering I’ve caused others and the pain I’ve caused myself—but when I look at myself in the square mirror across the floor, I do not see someone who is regretful.

I thought that doing this would make me feel something, but as I continue to lay here on the dull concrete, it is only emptiness that remains. I let out a sigh as I finally release the messy shard of the broken mirror from my left hand. I pick up my wet, tear-stained rag once again and go back to wiping the sticky blood off the floor.

We had been training all year for this moment to come. Our championship game was coming up within the next two weeks. We were going into the game as the top dogs as our record was 10-0. I was watching the time fly by like a school bus when you're running late to the bus stop. I was locked in and ready to lead the team to a championship win.
With just a week before the big game I had to make sure everything was right. While on the last rep of a Qb scrambling drill I took off to the right side of the field and stepped right into a hole, my ankle was shattered.

Up here on the elastic ground beneath me, it projects me back up each time I attempt a stunt. I am able to rely on a rebound, each time, giving me hope for future success on other attempts and the courage to follow through. This security makes everything seem possible.
As I stand all alone, I look at the ground beyond my safety net of this trampoline and it appears as sharp as a knife. If I take a step down there, I will surely be impaled. Despite the fear I feel, I muster up as much courage as I am able and take that leap of faith. To my surprise, the second I am about to plummet into danger, the sharp and jagged floor turns into a soft, safe place for me to land. The past ground that I had fallen on wasn't this way at all. It had appeared soft, but once I took that leap of faith, my heart was stabbed with a dagger of lies. Maybe, just maybe, this is what true love feels like. I am beginning to realize that it was just painted wrong before. This time, I feel safe.

I was at a NFL game with my family. Some Ravens fan behind us was screaming and being immature because his team was getting steamrolled. He 🤬 off most of the fans so when we scored again he was not happy. After the game, we were walking up the stairs and he tried to trip me so my dad dropped that man like a sack of potatoes. We didn't get kicked out because the guards knew this guy was a clown.

On a hot summer day in July, we were swimming in the dark blue lake water. My cousin dares us to race to the middle and back. On the count of 3, 1... 2...3...we rush off. The lake water is cold against my body and my eyes burn as the sun reflects against the water into my eyes.
As we get closer to the middle something cold grasps my leg and pulls me back as fast as a rocket shoots into space. My cousin laughs at me as she sticks out her tongue moving faster toward the middle. With my head at her heels I make it closer to her but she begins to turn toward the dock ready to get back until her head flashes one last time and goes underwater with a scream. My heart stops and I kick everywhere screaming as I start racing to the dock, hoping that I can make it.

Meeting someone who you have an instant connection with. Spending every waking movement, going through ups and downs. Sleepless nights spent, watching scary movies, eating so many snacks, and going outside when it freezing cold just to make a tik tok that doesn't go viral. She is your other half, the one that makes you a better you.

They day you find out she will be moving 1,110 miles away. This pain is nothing you have felt before. Knowing your other half and the person that keeps you sane will be gone.

I stood still in my basement as loud noises washed over my ears coming from upstairs. I pressed my hands to my ears and shut my eyes tight. The shrieks and screams grew louder and louder mixing in with yells that were as loud as a train whistle. Thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to figure out what was taking place upstairs.
I hesitantly walked up the stairs to the sight of my parents yelling at my brother. Tears streaming down all of their faces at my parents told my brother to leave. He grabbed his things and slammed the door shut behind him. Just like that, he was gone. I ran to my room and cried alone for the rest of the night.

In the 12 o'clock summer shine, her eyes darted through the glass doors hoping she would see him first. A gush of cold flooded past as she nervously stepped into the room full of crinkled popcorn and hushed voices. Looking to the left then the right, their eyes finally met and for the first time her anxious chills turned into a hopeful excitement. Two hours of an action-filled movie passed, yet, when they trudged through the heavy doors her mind held no remembrance of a single scene.

He uttered
"I need to go."
She expected a warm embrace or a soft smile but without a single glance back he walked off into the distance, leaving her standing alone with nothing going through her head but the unknown.

As we got to the forest of huge cotton wood trees, I knew this was going to be a bad family trip. There is nothing and it stinks like wood and old pond water. And we have to sleep on these little tents, And its dark out and i want to go home. But my dad said wait tell morning before you make an idea of this place and we when to bed in the stinky little tents. And as I woke all the seeds off the trees where falling as the sun was rising from the bottom of the lake. And I did not want to prove my dad right but I think he knew I loved it.

Germany, 1918. The war has taken a toll on Jack. He's been fighting for 4 years in the British expedition force, and not a single day goes by where he doesn't think about her. "Cheer up mate" said Ryrylitty15, his war buddy for the past couple months, he's only been here for a short time as he's a yank, and america joined the war late. Jack feels like a dead man walking, after seeing so much blood,death and gore like no war had ever brought before. In the next few hours the war could end or they could go over the top on more time, for more death, more blood, more gore, and just a couple more feet. All the sudden the commanding officer screamed it's over, the Germans have signed the armistice! For the first time in years Jack felt alive.

A time and place where kids can be kids, where there is enough responsibility to have fun, but not enough to have 'adult' problems. Lockers lining the walls where people are huddled talking about after school plans. Friday night football games like the "high school cliche." Running to the car when the bell rings. Walking the stage at graduation, step by step walking to a new future.

Packing your life into a couple boxes, driving to your new "home." Where doors now line the hallways with people that were strangers just months ago. Family now miles away. Big changes, but good changes.

There was a crash in the hallway, a scream that came from my mom, and the sound of a door slamming. I sat huddled in my closet covered in a blanket hugging my stuffed animal cat close to my heart. Where was my mom going? Why didn't she take me with her? I got out of my hiding spot, curious of what I would run into once I walked out of my room. I slowly opened my door, and barely took a step out when I realized there was someone waiting for me outside my room. I raised my tear covered face to look into the eyes of my drunk and overbearing father. I couldn't tell what his next move was going to be, so I braced myself for anything.

It had been 5 years since my mom walked out, and I haven't seen her since then. She has made no move to contact me or my father, but part of me understands why. Once she escaped she didn't look back. If I was in her position I probably would've done the same, even though it hurts.

I have been looking forward to this trip for so long.  My bags were packed almost a week ago, sitting stagnant in my room, collecting dust.  The rough carpet-like fabric that covers the bus seats is carrying me miles and miles southbound.  My pillow is firmly pressed against me, providing a barrier between me and the stranger sitting next to me. He is tall, and wears glasses.  I tried to ask him if he was as excited as I was, but he gave a monotone-one word answer.  I decided then that no one could be as excited as me.

The screams were so loud, I had to cover my ears.  They didn't stop until I felt big arms wrap around me.  I think they were my screams.  The person that carried me away from the scene was named John.  I memorized his name before he even set me down on the stretcher.  That's when I finally scanned the scene where I had just been so excited what felt like moments ago.  The bus was in shambles.  There were people covered in ash scrambling to collect themselves.  How had I been completely fine? So many questions.  "Did you see his bag?" and "Were you sitting by the man in the glasses?" I think these people thought I was stupid, because I had already told them I was.

As I looked at my phone, I saw the, "I'm here," text and ran out the front door. A raging fun night on the town with the girls had begun. We went from place to place and had the time of our lives. From broken down bars with sleezy bartenders to fancy clubs, we did it all that night. Inside jokes were born, giggles ignited each place we went. I could never imagine feeling safer with anyone else. We had been planning this outing for weeks, well Jessica had been. She had just been broken up with. A sound mind was not something she possessed, which is why she decided to be designated driver as she knew if she drank she would not be able to stop.
I didn't know that she had been drinking. I didn't know that it was not safe to get in the car with her. That's what I told the police, and that was the truth of it. When I woke up the next morning to a cold hospital room, I remembered nothing. They said she was dead. They said she killed 3 people including my best friend. They said it could have easily been me. They said I was lucky, but I felt far from it.

There was I, just speeding and getting chased. I had just got done with this robbery down the street. Speeding for my life, thinking to myself about how I'm going to spend all this money, and what it can do for me. I've done bad, I know, I murdered people, but it's just for this last time, so I can live my life in peace.

I can see what the therapist is writing, him writing down every word as I say. I look to the left and there is a mirror that seems to be a guy strapped in a straight jacket. He looks crazy.
