With a deep, shaky breath, she places the locket back in th...
This story will unfold in backwards order. The author will publish words that they deliberated over but ultimately accepted because what word choice could be better than their own? The words that come from books, and teaching moments, and experiences with outhers.

the day ended happy
With pink and red hearts
Friends gathered
Chilling with pizza
Talking about their lives

Liliana Watson’s cold body was found in her bedroom.
The twenty year old lived with her family, but they were away overnight for her sister’s surgery. She was home alone.
A ring of ligature marks adorned her neck. The ultimate cause of death was asphyxiation.
Her body had bruises. Dark purple and black. Her fingernails had blood and skin underneath them. She fought back before her demise.

I sigh in defeat.
I’m never going to figure this out. Not like this. Notes with big erasure marks and crossing out in front of me.
I need to do this for James.
Closing my eyes, I walk through my memories of that day. The day my best friend died.
OoOoO
I left the party around 10:20 pm. I know that since my curfew was 11 and Bobby’s house was about 30 minutes away from mine.

“Don’t say that.” Leif chuckled and shook her head dismissively. “Think of it more like… I’ve lived through you.”
I smiled tenderly, feeling her presence with me. Then I suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion. I didn’t fight it, but I felt terrified. Even ...
The two fell hard on the dry grass, breathe knocked out of them.
“Did we……did we make it?” Charlotte panted
“I…..i think so….” Casper gazed at the
night sky, lined with an array of stars. All the running made every inch of him sore.
“And……the witch died?”
“Maybe?” He wheezed, “I mean….there was a….whole tower crumbling down at her….”

The river is far below me
She was my constant and now…
I can’t live without her
I stand on the edge of a parapit

She was the kindest most loving person I knew

I start to realize, a little too late, it really wasnt all that bad. As the wind assaults my face, not allowing my eyelids to make way, my mind races faster than ever before. I’m just falling.
