Overhearing the rasping voice of Montressor‚ I had concluded‚ I‚ myself have been deceived. As my belligerent attitude gets in the way‚ I started grappling the chains violently. I was desperate for assistance‚ but being forceful and dependent will not be expedient. As I try struggle to be nonchalant‚ my satisfaction to get vengeance tenfold. Since the rusty chains are rigid‚ I swept

“Alexander... Alexander... Alexander?” At the third call of my name‚ my eyes are open and adjust. The smell of dust and chlorine fill my nostrils. I sit up and become conscious my right ankle is trapped in a metal restraint that is chained to the cold concrete ground. I give the chain a few hard pulls‚ it’s no use‚ it’s blotted tight to the ground. My stomach starts to knot and my pulse increases. Where am I? I look around‚ realizing I’m in an abandon warehouse. The walls are at least 15 feet away

It all came down to the this game. My team‚ The Surge‚ had just made it to the Championship game. The previous game was way too close. It was the morning of the final 13u Louisville slugger baseball tournament. As I was putting on my uniform‚ I noticed my hand shaking slightly. I do what I normally do‚ take a deep breath‚ count down from ten‚ and finally imagine myself at the plate‚ cranking one over their heads. The team and I met up at the field for the final game. Instantly as I stepped onto

When I get home from school‚ my parents are all dressed up. It looks like they’re going to a wedding so I ask‚ what’s the need for the nice outfits? And they reply by saying they’re going on a date and have a babysitter coming to watch over me. I didn’t really like that I had to be home with a babysitter because I am already 12‚ but I didn’t complain because I knew they don’t want to have to cancel all because I’m having a fit. About 30 minutes after they leave I see the babysitter pick up the phone

From the moment I first opened my eyes as an infant‚ I had no idea that the family that had been raising me was different from me. I couldn’t see myself‚ and no one told me that I looked any different from them. I just felt like I belonged. The wolves had brought me into their domain as a newborn‚ and I knew nothing else from the life that I had been living with them. My skin offered no protection from the cold like their heavy fur coats did‚ but I looked past it. I wore moose and bear skins in the

Prejudice is something that no one thinks they are fond of. I have never found myself to be in a situation where I thought that I was being bias or making an unreasonable assumption in the moment. However‚ after pondering over certain situations‚ I realized that I have found myself to make assumptions in a few circumstances. I met one of my best friends last year during field hockey season. As a junior‚ I was very excited to start the season and see what the freshmen had to offer. During the

I got asked if I was gay in middle school gym class by prying girls as they saw me repeatedly miss foul shots. My answer was always “no”. Looking back‚ I’m not even sure those prodding questions had any merit. However‚ the occasional jab of “that’s gay” or brotherly love manifested by the word “faggot” were so prevalent that I began considering their validity. At what point does “gay” become more than a juvenile insult? Ever since I was little I knew I was different‚ but I assumed I felt just as
