A whole day of complete beauty. Arie sits hunched against the earthen wall‚ face smothered by her folded knees. She is breathing. Just barely. Her

Every religion‚ he had heard of so far in his life‚ left little to no place for women as an equal. He was more sad than surprised to learn that even the old gods seemed to be chauvinist pigs."So‚ Jude‚ was your bad boy? The one that pushed you to doubt? You know‚ the more you talk about him‚ the more I like him. I can see why you are so attached to him." He confessed

After Kathleen jumped out the window‚ (suprisingly unhurt despite the three floor drop)‚ I rush to Lucy and tell her to go hide. She runs to my closet and hides on the top shelf while I shut the oak door‚ tightening the fastening to secure her safety further. As soon as I run over ad sit on my bed‚ my dad slams the door open with so much force it almost came off its hinges. I just sit there with out a ounce of emotion in my eyes or on my face. He suanters up to me‚ tears my hoodie off to

It wouldn’t be so hard if I knew who or what I was. I wouldn’t feel so….empty. Perhaps I could even feel joy. But that shall never be. At least‚ not as I am now.
