on a shady and bitter January night‚ five of my friends and I are enjoying a pleasant hookah. Sitting in my friend’s apartment basement chitchatting about school‚ life‚ and other topics that irritates us. Imagine a room with one light bulb‚ six seats around‚ and a table. My friend’s basement reminded me of an interrogation room. None of us knew what we were in for that night. We were still at a young age where we were not supposed to be smoking hookah. What we did is what any other teenager did

It’s the third time I hear his words‚ because his show repeats several times in the evening news cycle. The TV has been on all day while I worked on my computer‚ but its the first time I look at his face. All day I’ve focused on my Mac screen‚ working on my projects.

“Connie?” He asked‚ voice soft. He took a step towards her‚ hands outstretched‚ but was not expecting her to move back. Her body was stiff‚ fraught with tension‚ the circles under her eyes highlighting her exhaustion. “Connie‚ it’s okay‚ I’m here.” “It’s not okay!” The words twisted from her lips‚ simultaneously choked and angry.

Coming from the small-town life in Ellensburg‚ WA‚ I am very fortunate to have been able to branch out and see the world more than the unending view of pastures and windmills that

Pow! Right smack in my forehead crushing my skull. The metal baseball bat knocked in my skull. It was a warm sunny day in the middle of the summer. Joey‚ my brother‚ was hitting tennis balls over my house. Little 10 year old me was playing in the yard and my brother purposely pushed me far away so he wouldn’t hit me.

It is the morning of June 27 and what an unpleasant sight it is. The birds were out singing and chirping as usual. The sun also was painfully bright since it was summertime. I see all the townsfolk walking together and the children running to the square. All the families are hand and in hand just smiling and laughing. Do they not understand the pain of all the families that have lost someone? Do they understand what we had to go through? Or maybe they just don’t care. My mother was brutally
