“Anne…” I heard the voice say. “Anne… go to the bridge Anne… you need to go…” the voice always seemed to appear at approximately 3:30 a.m., and it was so menacingly soft that it woke me up every single time. It always told me to go to the bridge a few blocks from my house… the one that my father jumped off…

Today would be the first time that I listened to the voice. I got out of bed and got dress...

**_WAKE LUELLE! _**

The voice dragged me from the depths of my sleep. I glanced outside to see the sun on the brim of rising. The husky voice again awoke me at this time.

I shook my head and grabbed a blanket to drap over my cold body.

Today I had to go to the neighboring village to buy seeds for Father, but I could tell a storm was brewing.

“If the storm is too violent, stay in Woodville,” F...

-Good Morning America-

Today is the first time in months that we've looked up

Staring at the ground

Too preoccupied in our precious lives to look up and see around us

Oblivious

-Good Morning America-

Someone wake our Nation up

tell us to look around

take it all in

What are you gonna do about it?

-Good Morning America-

How long are you gonna wait?

Hey [beep], you awake?

Don’t worry, I’m up.

Even though I’m wading,

Neck deep in this rut.

I don’t know why

You keep up this lie

You know it’s false

And it ruins my life

You say you care,

Then set me aflame

With your name given

Just to cause me pain.

[beep]? Yes, Sir.

He’s present, he’s here

Kept alive by your memory

Made out of hate, I fear

Wh...

_“Riya, wake up” _

I hear the_ _reminder bounce around in the back of my head, though it is quickly drowned out by blare of the alarms, whining and wailing like raid sirens. I feel the heavy weight of grogginess and exhaustion fall on me as I swing my legs over the side of the stiff, rusty bed frame. But this is what I endure every day. Today is no exception, and I have learned not to expect ther...

The voice isn’t stopping. It never stops. It is always in the back of my mind. It never goes away. At first I only heard it the moment I woke up in the morning, but now it never leaves my head. Always pounding its message, like a ticking clock. Today it’s the worst it’s ever been. Today instead of just nagging at the back of my mind, it’s as if it’s the main topic of the conversation. It’s taking ...

sweat on my face. sweat on my pillow. i hear it, slowly getting quieter, but today, it was louder than ever before.

my name is being called. i can’t identify who it is, i can’t identify if it’s male or female, it’s just…_ a voice_.

i go through my day, still wondering, like i have been for over a year now, who that voice belongs to.

it hits me like a brick on the head. it’s my voice. i’m c...

"Kathy."

The voice says the first night.

"Kathy.!"

The voice says a second time.

"Kathy!"

The voice still croons.

"KATHY."

"KATHY!"

"hmm?" says Kathy.

"You need to get ready for work."

"hmm? oh yeah i forgot."

So Kathy got ready for work.

And the voice no longer crooned to her.

The end....

Whispers in the dawn

My name is the one

Hearing every morning

Louder is the calling...
