"You’re such a loser!" But what entails being a loser? Do losers fart and then make a farting sound to cover up‚ or are losers people who make up e-mail addresses like cool_girl22@hotmail.com?

of my windows... Horrified and shocked‚ even life scarred‚ I witnessed the murder of not a human being‚ but of a horse...my horse. I couldn’t bear to hear that deafening sound of my horse‚ Jaden‚ crying in pain. I didn’t know what to do. There were only two thoughts in my head. I could quickly but quietly sneak into my parent’s room‚ raid their closet to find the hidden gun they didn’t know I knew about‚ and run outside maybe even murder whoever is torturing my horse! Or I could wake up my parents
