    On Heights By Jackson Downey Sitting on the ledge of the roof of their apartment‚ a couple admired the cityscape and high rises in the distance. The man‚ looking down‚ had a sudden urge to jump‚ and not only that but to push his love down to the pavement twelve stories bellow.

    Summer is a time for kicking back‚ poppin a cold soda by the pool and listening to the Teen Pop Radio and your favorite country tunes.
