The whole journey here I had taken pictures of the scenery and breath-taking views.…

I'm not dreaming. I'd be screaming by now if I were. The world around me dissolves, bleeding and fragmenting until nothing is left except me and the encroaching dark. I float in the quiet abyss, wondering if this is what death is. The rumors in the After tell a less peaceful description of the time after death. A gust of wind shoves me forward and rips my clothes off and I watch my polo shirt and blue jeans sway behind me, moving with the current of the wind. Shivering, I wrap my arms around my…

The Wolverines needed a field goal to win the game. “Axe I can’t watch!” I wanted to cover my eyes but I couldn’t. The entire stadium was on their feet. The ball was snapped, the placeholder caught it, and from there everything went into slow motion.

Grateful My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day. I woke up early and put on my pink skirt…

I hear a small buzzing as a small black insect whirls around my head twice then glides over to the smooth blue wall. No bigger than a pea, my companion is a dark fly who must have breezed in through my open window on the soft April winds. As my glance meanders from my blank computer screen to my new friend I slowly make a realization and a small smile forms on the corner of my lips.
