Ashley, my first love, she doesn’t know I like her. She is my motivation in life. She displayed this perfect person. A kind, smart, understanding, and stunning one. I knew I didn’t stand a chance with her. I lacked the qualities of what her partner in life should be since I felt that she liked Luke and she said that she is straight. I know that I will never be the one that she loves that is why I ...
As I stood at the edge of the metal beam, canyon below me and dark grey soot in my hair, all I hear are your final words.

Funny, I thought, to see someone so strong look so weak. I grabbed her arm and cut, not too deep, but enough to bleed. She yelled and I slapped her, making sure to solidify her silence. I threw her arm down, turned off the light,...

My name was Susie and I was five years old when I was out playing in the yard with my friends when a man approached me. He told me my daddy got hurt and he needed to take me to him. I was so scared for my daddy that I went with him right away. I am now 20 years old and still held captive by the man. Every time I’m close to escaping he incapacitates me with some type of drug. He says he wishes I w...
A fraction of the time waisted on meaningless screen activities would have been enough to build a smaller empire. Nearly a decade after graduating, Hunter were no closer to the life he had envisioned as a wide-eyed art student in the big city than he had been in the god-forsaken town in which he had grown up. Instead of gallery openings he had reality tv show premieres, a warehouse art studio with...
