Late August of 2017‚ Houston’s hurricane season was coming to an end. Still recovering from the brutal summer heat‚ no one had expected a storm with a magnitude that Hurricane Harvey carried. A rainstorm was scheduled to come for the weekend‚ but nothing worrisome. It wasn’t until the newscasters announced that this small tropical storm had turned into a category four hurricane‚ that people started to panic. Almost overnight‚ gas prices had nearly doubled and grocery store shelves were emptying.

First of all I would like to clarify that I do not intend to nor do I claim the boy is innocent. I’d like to bring to the table that the boy screamed “I’m going to kill you.” How many of us yell something like that to our parents? The phrase “I’m going to kill you” is said then the father ends up dead the same night just a couple hours later. I doubt that is a coincidence. The older gentleman who lives

Spring Break rolled around‚ same as always. My so-called friends ran off to get drunk or high or whatever it was they did down in Florida. I‚ like a sane person‚ went home and studied because I wanted an actual job instead of slinging fries for the rest of my life and getting a beer gut. Or I tried to study. You don’t skip three grades‚ get a 2400 on your SAT‚ and get into Princeton at sixteen if you’re stupid. But sitting in my old bedroom on the twin bed I’d finally outgrown‚ listening to the TV

Sunday‚ March 19‚ 2017 is a day I will never forget. A friend and I were at Rhino Coffee Downtown having some girl time and playing catch up. As I was sipping on my glass of prosecco‚ owner Andrew Crawford walked in and we spoke. After our initial greeting‚ he uttered five words that shattered my world‚ "They aren’t any oysters this year". I IMMEDIATELY knew what he was talking about. There was no question about it. Andrew had just burst my Shreveport Derby Day bubble by letting me know that I wouldn’t

The Boom of the Basketball I have always love to play basketball. The swish when you make it just right‚and the boom of the basketball hitting the floor “are sounds I love”. When I first started playing basketball‚ my mom and my couch Richard knew that I was expectational. I played with Richard for a few years‚ then one day he told us about this newspaper ad he saw for a team named “Eugene Fire”. My mom decided to check it out‚ so she called the coach‚ Jim. He said I probably

It was a casual August afternoon in Minneapolis‚ people walking the down the sidewalk‚ strangers passing by. We were visiting my old hometown. I was walking with Beth‚ and we were messing around. I used to have an inside joke with one of my friends from fifth grade‚ “Girl you need to chill.” It stuck once I moved. Anyway‚ Beth had just told me to chill‚ so‚ I walked into the nearest cold building. Which of course‚ ended up being a meat locker… 15 minutes later I was coming out and saw an all
