School Lunch
School Lunch
John F. Kennedy's main lunch menu consists of: pizza, nachos, hamburgers, and chicken patties. In the 2009 school year, the lunch was great. I dont' know how the quality of the food could have declined as much as it has.
Last year the pizza was great. I would get pizza 3/5 times of the week. I don't know what happened to it. It has gone down in quality. Nachos were my 2nd choice to pizza. When I got sick of pizza or just wanted something different I got nachos. The nachos look the same this year. I havent' tried them yet, but as the other food has, I bet the quality has gone down too. I never got hamburgers last year except a couple of times. They were decent last year. Now, they look so flimsy and nasty. Chicken patties were good last year. I haven't tried them this year but I bet they dont 'have the same taste as last year.
The school lunch also raised the prices. More money for bad food does not make any sense to me. I havent 'had any school lunch since last year. I have seen how all of it looks and I havent 'wanted to try it this far into the year.

He slammed forward as the brakes.......
He slammed forward as the brakes screeched, and the car drifted onward in the dark, suddle night. Shifting down the roads of Nevada, the car jolted at speeds of 100mph.
The Unknown rider was having the time of his life, then in a flash…..”VROOOOOOOOOMMM!!!”. Two vehicles floored out of the darkness behind the unknown rider at tremendous speeds like that of his own vehicle. The unknown rider did not notice a unauthorized sign one mile behind. Words on the sign was that of devastating shock that a regular civilian would halt, put their car in reverse, and shoot on out of there. The unknown rider floored his car up little by little: 120…..140…..160…..180..and then….”EEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The car looked that of 666 Satan screeching out in the dark night. In the same moment, the moon shined down with a crystallized glow of gleaming light on the vehicles giving them a shiny glow. All three cars were now visible. The cars behind the unknown rider floored up to the unknown rider’s speed behind him, pistons roaring fiercely. The unknown rider gazed in his mirror, glancing back with humbleness at the cars thinking they were pedestrians trying to race him, but in an instant the unknown rider changed his facial expression into a astonishing, serious look, and a grimace smirk. A gleam of red light appeared in the unknown riders front view mirror. He took a gaze into the mirror and saw long sniper rifles through the moon roof tops of the sport type vehicles. There were men on each vehicle holding a sniper rifle. The unknown rider then gazed down at the front license plates. They read “AREA 51 SECURITY.” The known rider then knew they were either going to arrest him, or legally murder him on sight. Two shots sprang forth, jousting at the GTO, blowing out the back windows. The unknown rider then took one deep breath. Yelled “HELL NOOO!!!!!” then hit the accelerator, flooring it to 250mph max. The 2 area 51 cars receded and disappeared off the side of the road somewhere. Out of the darkness in front of his GTO appeared something mysterious. A gate was opening with a loud “KRIIIIIINNNNGG”. The unknown rider was going full turbo speed now. Something large appeared behind the gate. His eyes widened so openly. Out appeared a tank. The GTO’s accelerator snapped and the GtO head on zoomed nearer and enarer to the tank,and just like that…….”SHHHRRROOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!”. The tank shot out a huge blast of a rocket, and then……………………… You Decide >:]!

Camped Out
Only the flimsy wall of tent separated me from the low rumbling grow. “Such a bad lil girl” I told her. “No I just think you have what I need” she said.

Six friends meet ends now we’re each other’s dips
It’s all about the momentum; she just became single no less than 5 hours ago. I can get her alone I know I can. No I’m not saying I want to hit; all I want is that deep little moment as the camp fire makes those snapping noises breaking apart the wood; I want her to look me deep in my eyes so her soul can speak to me. When it comes to piercing these vaginas it’s never a big deal but once I give her what she needs she’ll try to find it in another guy. No that’s not how I roll; Deeper than any lust I only try to mind fuck because once I get the mind coming it comes back for more. Her boyfriend was a good financial provider: nice ride, lots of money, took her sopping ever week etc. The only problem was buddy was as dry as an old man who shoots dust. His sense of humor was not a sense at all, shit he couldn’t cry a joke. He has no interest about him and his words weren’t elusive enough he never had her mind bobble his greatest stimulation was buying her a new car. I on the other hand; I know exactly how to pursue; I know how to gain and maintain yes a True Man I am. At the trip we’ve been walking to our spot for an hour now. I tell her “I bet my tents gonna be warmer than yours.” She laughs and says “we’ll find out tonight.” Is there a prize for winning” I ask. “I have to think of one” she said.
Score! Too beasty you know what I mean? We sit in my tent; we laugh, she feels warm. She likes being close to me. I can tell. “I never loved him” she confesses out of nowhere. I already knew that I said. She says “how did you know?” “I know what a happy girl looks like and I could find it in your eyes” I told her.
The moment arrives she looks me deep in my eyes her soul says “Please be the one I need. “ All I wanted to give was a kiss but the way her eyes are undressing me; we already had sex mentally. I use my finger to lead her lips to mine. She moans while kissing, her tense body starts loosening. She whispers “that’s the first time a guy made my faucet leak with just a kiss.” All I did was smirk; then she tackles me to the sleeping bag. Only the flimsy wall of my tent separated me form the low rumbling growl. “Such a bad lil girl” I told her. “No I just think you have what I need” she said

Six friends meet ends now we’re each other’s dips
It’s all about the momentum; she just became single no less than 5 hours ago. I can get her alone I know I can. No I’m not saying I want to hit; all I want is that deep little moment as the camp fire makes those snapping noises breaking apart the wood; I want her to look me deep in my eyes so her soul can speak to me. When it comes to piercing these vaginas it’s never a big deal but once I give her what she needs she’ll try to find it in another guy. No that’s not how I roll; Deeper than any lust I only try to mind fuck because once I get the mind coming it comes back for more. Her boyfriend was a good financial provider: nice ride, lots of money, took her sopping ever week etc. The only problem was buddy was as dry as an old man who shoots dust. His sense of humor was not a sense at all, shit he couldn’t cry a joke. He has no interest about him and his words weren’t elusive enough he never had her mind bobble his greatest stimulation was buying her a new car. I on the other hand; I know exactly how to pursue; I know how to gain and maintain yes a True Man I am. At the trip we’ve been walking to our spot for an hour now. I tell her “I bet my tents gonna be warmer than yours.” She laughs and says “we’ll find out tonight.” Is there a prize for winning” I ask. “I have to think of one” she said.
Score! Too beasty you know what I mean? We sit in my tent; we laugh, she feels warm. She likes being close to me. I can tell. “I never loved him” she confesses out of nowhere. I already knew that I said. She says “how did you know?” “I know what a happy girl looks like and I could find it in your eyes” I told her.
The moment arrives she looks me deep in my eyes her soul says “Please be the one I need. “ All I wanted to give was a kiss but the way her eyes are undressing me; we already had sex mentally. I use my finger to lead her lips to mine. She moans while kissing, her tense body starts loosening. She whispers “that’s the first time a guy made my faucet leak with just a kiss.” All I did was smirk; then she tackles me to the sleeping bag. Only the flimsy wall of my tent separated me form the low rumbling growl. “Such a bad lil girl” I told her. “No I just think you have what I need” she said
The Truth
As I read the contents of the letter, I was aware of the smile on my face. I was ecstatic, I mean after all these years of searching and rejection; from almost a hundred different people with the last name Hunter, my mother had finally reached out to me!
At 26, I’ve lived a life that requires an age way beyond my years. Despite, being in the face of adversity everyday of my life, I always prevailed. Like me having my son at 11, by a 16 year old boy named London, who I thought I was in love with.
You see being a foster child and being moved from home to home all my life, gave me the need to always search and desire someone that could possibly be permanent. Yet, because I was searching in all the wrong places, no one ever stayed for long. I used to get depressed at the thought that my parents abandoned me, literally, ever since I cried into this world. It hurt, but those thoughts and my depression, I couldn’t allow them to keep my life at a standstill. Someone once told me that the only constant in life was change. I knew then that, I had to keep it moving…the moving stopped when I was 17.
I became a success all by myself and from the motivation to do better for my son. My son, Sean, and I ended up living in shelters until I was able to get a job and get us a little studio apartment which we stayed in for 5 years while I attended Columbia University and attained a B.A. in English. Now, I am currently working on achieving my Masters in Communications and African American Studies. All alone I did these things when I was constantly set up to fail. Of course, through the good, the bad, and the ugly, my bitterness towards the life I was given had faded away. Most people may wallow in self-pity and hate. I obviously felt and did the opposite. I firmly believe and stand by what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
My mother, Sandra Hunter, simply says in the letter:
Dear Tiffany,
My Name is Sandra Hunter. I am your biological mother. I know you may be confused as to why I am FINALLY reaching out to you. Basically, I love you and despite what you may think. And I can explain and tell you everything you need to know. Please write back, if you get this.
Your mother,
Sandra Hunter
Yes, I felt like more could have been said, but I still held more meaning and purpose then anyone would ever know.
“Ma, why are you smiling? What is that?” Sean asks, as he walks up behind me to get a glance at the letter. Tears of joy started to roll down my face.
“It’s a letter, from my mother.” Sean didn’t respond. I looked up at him and he had a look of absolute shock.
“Your mother?” His features then turned to a scowl. His body language got tense.
“Yes” I said nodding my head. Sean turned and walked out the room. He was upset. Especially, because he was apart of my struggle all his life, and he hated the grandparents he never knew for putting me through it. I was angry deep down, but happiness eliminated that emotion for now. Sean was too young to see it my way. I saw this letter as one step close to the closure. One step closer to the truth.

BABY IN A CELL!!
Those last few steps seemed the most difficult. I had ever made in my life. Walking down death row with prison guard on my side. All I could do was stare at my stomach and think what I have done. Flash back 2 weeks ago. Me and my home girls in the yard laughing at the skinny girl getting punked on the basketball court. “Annnt!!” The bell rung. Everyone had to line up to leave the yard. I always waited to the end because I needed extra assistance with my lil bump. Yes. If you haven’t noticed by now. I’m pregnant. 8 months to be exact. And I’m in jail. Because my baby daddy threw his stash in my purse during a raid and made me take the fall. I’ve been in here for 4 months now. And it doesn’t look like im getting out anytime soon. But back to the story. Im always at the end of the line. And this 1 guard would always try to assist me. He was a male guard in a female prison. I always felt uncomfortable when he would approach me. He would touch me and talk to me in a disrespectful and sexual way. Yes. I would tell the guards and warden. But come on now who would believe a convict. So as I was walking to my cell he walked behind me this day unlike others. Something wasn’t right. I tried to act like I had to use the bathroom. But who was it kidding he exclaimed I was pretty and hard headed and I needed to be punished. As he said that he began to unbuckle his pants. I crunch my legs. He hit me like I was in a Tyson fight. I feel to the floor. He hoped on top of me. I tried myself to fight him off of me and scream. But it seemed like I was talking to the walls only. No one came. He tried to push inside of me put it didn’t work. After all my squaring he finally got in. I cried loudly. He was hurting my child I could feel it. He was to ruff. He began to rub on my stomach claiming this was his baby. He pumped me hard like I was a virgin. I felt my child moving and this feeling was not good. He finally finished. He was sweaty. I was sedated by the body. I couldn’t move I laid there for 30 seconds. And thought about what happen. As he was pulling up his pants something trickled down my leg. I then quickly reached and pulled his gun out of his hoister. I SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD! RING ERRRRT! The sirens came on. The guards came to my room and rushed me. I could barely move. I had blood running down my leg. I tried to explain my side of the story. That the man jus raped me. But they weren’t trying to hear it. They placed me in a holding cell for tow weeks. As the guards came and got me those last few steps seemed the most difficult I had made in my life. Walking down death row with a prison guard down my side. All I could do was stare at my stomach and think what have I done? They jus ruled against my favor for life in prison. Instead he sentenced me death. He gave me and my unborn baby the chair. Because some horny ass guard raped us. Two lives are going to be taken over some unconnected sex. And a mother reacting. That’s ain’t right
YUP
I was not expecting what was waiting for me just as I rounded the corner. It was Derrick waiting for 6 years now. I was wondering what the f*** is he doing waiting on me, when I’m walking up with my new boyfriend. Derrick quickly approach me saying “This is Stephon” Instantly Derrick tries to fight Stephon, I mean at the time all I can see is derrick standing 6:1, light skinned, dreads and Stephon 5:7 dark skinned, with dreads also. I grab Stephon so that we can walk away but he wasn’t trying to hear that at the time. Sunrise, damn here I go back off to school, but on my way to Derrick house to pick up my sister. I called her down stairs to meet me, but Derrick run his ass down stairs before I could even press the talk button. “So that lil nigga over me” He said with a grouchy voice. “I mean you been doing you Derrick, so when I move on it’s a problem”. We argued back and forth until I figured I was late for school. After school I meet up with PHON-PHON which is what I call Stephon for short. Derrick pull up in a car “didn’t I tell you about this nigga e” Stephon replied “man e let me get this nigga’ I fall back and let them fight, they going at it for a while. Then they both pull out guns. Quickly I stand in between both of them, and say” shoot me then” Stephon drops the gun first “man buddy ass wild’ Derrick say “come on e get in the car. Now I'm stuck and don’t know what to do. Should I stay or should I go or should I have turned the other corner?
GOING HOME
Going Home
Harry was puzzled when the door didn’t open. Why? Of course, it was his mother’s house. So he knocked again. Still there was no answer. Panicking, he shot the door down with the hand gun he had taken from the side of his pants buckle. Walking inside he found nothing, not even his own mother. “Where the hell can they be?” he questioned himself. For about ten minutes he stood there thinking to himself about where could his family be. Then it hit him, Bookie did tell him that he had 24 hours to give him his money or else. Harry was raged with anger, knowing that Bookie must have broken into his mother house and kidnapped her. The first thing he did was hopped back into his black charger and drive furiously down the I-85 towards Bookie’s headquarters. Yes, Bookie had money, lots of it.
Walking into the door and the first thing he witnesses was Bookie harassing his mother by kissing her on the mouth to cease her from screaming. Harry eyes were as red as a bull charging at a silly ass man with a red suit on and he pounced onto Bookie’s back.
“Get the fuck off my mama you black bastard” retorted Harry.
“Somebody get this nigga off of me man!” screamed Bookie.
Ten tall, muscular, broad black men went to Bookies’ rescue. When Bookie finally took a breath after halfway been choked to death, he pulled a gun out on Harry.
“Ha, the little white boy from a black village…You think you can just come to my place uninvited, and to add that not only did you try to kill me hoe!” he said half-jokingly. “You are a damn fool” he then began to laugh.
Harry was under the arms of one of Bookie’s security men. He couldn’t speak, and he couldn’t move. Harry was trapped. Bookie continued to talk shit to Harry about his money and how “stupid” Harry was. Though he was unaware the whole time that Harry was looking for any advantage to get him and his mother out the place safely. He cocked his head to the left and noticed the gun on the inside jacket of the security guard who held him captive. Being slinky and tall was an advantage for Harry because he kicked the security with his legs enough times that his knees got weak and fell. Kicking him again quickly, he grabbed the gun and his that he had hidden in his pants. He moved so fast that the other men couldn’t respond fast enough. He began pointing the guns at the men and then they did also. Afraid of getting shot, still holding the guns, he had to come up with a plan and strategize his next move.
“You’re such a dumbass Harry; you really think you can clean us all out?” “I got to see this” Bookie laughed out loud, this time joined by his security. Ten damn security guards stood with guns in his face with the exception of Bookie. Bookie seen the nervous on Harry’s face and began to provoke him, he wanted to test him. He began by rising Harry’s mother skirt to reveal her underwear and started unbuttoning her shirt.
“What you going to do about it Harry?” “Whaaaat you gonna do about it?” he thought he was hilarious and began to laugh hysterically.
Harry was even more raged and didn’t give a fuck no more. He began to shoot and so did the other men. The mother screamed and so did Harry as he fell to the ground in shock. He laid there silently as the man he used to call friend laughed outrageously in his face. With the last breath in his body he spoke “I tried and I’m sorry mama…” and he closed his eyes. She yelled and kicked but could not move for she was tied up to a chair. There was no more Harry and soon his mother met up with him in heaven.

TRAPPED
She ducked as the plate smashed against the wall behind her. While her nose was already bleeding and knots on her head, she couldn’t and didn’t know how to escape it. While her father gripped her arms and dragged her down the wooden basement stairs, she tried to kick and squirm out of his grip, but was not able to be released. He handcuffed her to a pole and tied her legs together so she wasn’t able to kick and put duck tape over her mouth to keep her from screaming. “Now, I bet you the next time I ask your ass to do something for me, you’ll do it…am I right”, he said, Micah shook her head yes as tears streamed down her face, “Now, I wasn’t you to go upstairs and get comfortable for daddy, you hear me”, he said with a smirk on his face as he walked towards her to take the handcuffs off, remove the duck tape from her mouth and untie her legs, Micah didn’t respond, she closed her eyes and cried, “I said do you hear me!”, her father yelled as he kicked her in her face with his 11 ½ sized timberland boots. She started to bleed heavily out of her mouth and nose. He picked her up and pushed her towards the stairs, “Take your thick ass upstairs and do what I told you.” Micah said nothing as she slowly walked up the stairs, “Hurry up, I don’t have all day”, he said. She still paced herself until she reached the top of the stairs, then she ran until she got to her bedroom, and slammed the door. “Oh my god what the hell am I going to do, I need to get out of this house”, she thought to herself as she paced back and forth in her room. She decided to go through the window so she walked towards the window and studied the distance between her bedroom window and the ground, “It’s not that far”, she thought. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, now she was starting to panic, her father was coming up the stairs and she was running out of time. Micah grabbed a bunch of sheets and tied them together, and tied it to the edge of her bed. Meanwhile her father was getting closer and closer to her door, so she tossed the end of the sheets out of the window so she was able to climb down and get away, while she was climbing out of the window her father walked through the door and caught her as she was climbing down from the window. “Were you trying to run from me bitch”, he said as he walked towards her, “No”, she said hesitantly, her father grabbed her by the neck, and threw her on the bed. “Hum, since you like sheets so much let me show how to use one”, he tied her hands to the headboard and sat on top of her while he was punching her in her face. Jeremiah ripped her clothes off her body, she cried heavily as tears rolled off her cheeks and blood trickled from every angle of her face, he looked at her dead in the eyes and softly said, “Lights out.”
The Return of The JUNEBUG
Jeireseth McLean
The Return of The JUNBUG
It was the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and wires. It almost resembled a human with a web of red and blue wires that resembled veins. I saw a surge of blue electricity run through the object, suddenly it began to breathe.
“How the fuck is a robot breathin’?”
In a voice similar top that of my Great-Uncle June I heard,
“What the hell you just say!”
I’d started for the door when I saw my uncles ashes partially scattered along the floor, Could this be? Had Janette finally succeeded? Had she finally raised the dead? As I sat there in amazement the humanoid robot began to walk towards me, my body’s impulse was for me to flee but something in my heart freed me to stand still. The robot made no hasty movement as if attempting to comfort me, then it began to speak again.
“Come here boy.” said the robot.
I couldn’t I was struck.
“Whatcha scared of I said COME HERE!”
In that moment I realized it was Uncle June but, how? Why?
“I…I’m scared” I responded nervously.
“Of what, Nigga I SAID COME HERE!” again demanded Uncle June.
I walked towards what I believed to be the imposter of a robot. He grabbed my arm and I felt a tingle. He began to generate skin all over his body, when he removed his hand and I felt a small burn on my wrist. I closed my eyes through the ordeal, when I opened them there he was my Great-Uncle June at age 17.

The Day I Lost My LIfe.
David L.Frierson
5-6-10
The lane was night dark even at noon. I knew she was coming and coming soon. Today was the day she was killed nobody home but her and me. I remember her annoying me I was not having a good day left to baby-sit her. What more can I say. My mother and father always drank, so it was not surprising when I received the call that they were killed in a car accident, but that just added fuel to my fire. She whined and whined I couldn’t take it no more I went in the kitchen and pulled open the door and got the chainsaw cut her head right off her shoulders blood gushing all over the rug her body hit the floor that cry I would hear no more. They say you are never really missed until you dead or you gone, but who ever said that was dead wrong. It was dark so soon in the summer and it was only noon. She never did like the light it was dark down that lane blood everywhere in sight. Ill be here when she comes for me. I mean you can’t avoid death and she’s not going to avoid me. I guess its destiny. The road was night dark 12:00 noon I walked through the flames and there she came and then I left cannot live twice the lane was night dark even at noon when I lost my life.

It happened so quickly I had no time to think, only react. He kissed her mind passionately as he laid her on her back. He ran his fingers through her hair thank God there’s no tracks. Reaching into her Southern Hemisphere damn she has a nice rack. How in the world did he get her to shack? He heard her heart… Bum Bum … Bum Bum… “OMG please grab my hips.” He swung his arm over sliding and gliding down her contours the constant murmur of “Baby I’m yours.”... A Symphony is sounding… the creaking of floor boards… The rumbling of the headboard… “Damn girl you must have been a pro before”… He’s the maestro call this the Art of Noise… Don’t mistake him for one of these minuscule boys… he wears big things he got that jumbo toy… If you ready to try your insides he’ll destroy… Satisfaction guaranteed this ride you shall enjoy… she’s telling her friends “That man was amazing tall or maybe average about 5’9” he loves superhero shirts and damn sure meant to be mine.” “He knew my name and somehow knew my sign.” … I remembered he said “Damn Fe you mighty Fine… Take this pen and your number you should sign.” … “Girl it happened so quickly I had no time to think, only react” … But damn what was his name? … A.O.N.

Gina's last word
Gina stared at the doctor her mind in confusion
How could she make that her conclusion?
Said to herself how come
That will end up being my outcome
As if she died thinking to herself
If that’s the case put my coffin near Malcolm’s
Gina is having this analysis
As if she fell into a paralysis
She does not forget
Only thing in her mind is regrets
With all the mistakes
And her health is what she forsakes
And mentally she felt raped
Thinking to herself there must be another way
To live for another day
The conclusion was the disease
Neither her nor her family be pleased
Bitten by a dog with rabies
My eyes closed and no one was able to save me
How could she make that her conclusion?
Said to herself how come
That will end up being my outcome
As if she died thinking to herself
If that’s the case put my coffin near Malcolm’s
Gina is having this analysis
As if she fell into a paralysis
She does not forget
Only thing in her mind is regrets
With all the mistakes
And her health is what she forsakes
And mentally she felt raped
Thinking to herself there must be another way
To live for another day
The conclusion was the disease
Neither her nor her family be pleased
Bitten by a dog with rabies
My eyes closed and no one was able to save me

CHRISTOPHER MERRICK'S STORY
It was the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and wires; I was so young then, I think I was only four. My grandmother was in a bed; the only things I could remember was bright lights and how the machines were all over the place. The place was huge, I mean it held a lot of rooms. I remember my grandmothe’s room was 829. My grandmother was a woman who was always filled with joy, nothing but positive things to say. The last thing I heard my grandmother say is “ I love you baby, just walk with God and He’ll never let you go” Soon everything became ambiguous to me; I saw my grandmother laying in a nice box. I said to my father is grandma sleep, why isn’t she getting up. I knew my grandmother hated when we turned on the lights while she was trying to sleep. While my grandmother was laying in a box, most of my family members were crying. I thought to myself that she was only sleeping, but that was not the case. My grandmother was sleeping, and little did I know she never woke up. My granny was up in the sky, she was with Jesus. The place and the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and wires was a place called a hospital. I thought to myself I never want to go back there again, because it was the place were my grandmother had the tubes and the wires.
til death do us part
I was not expecting what was waiting for me just as I turned the corner.
“ T.T where the fuck you been?” Josh asked.
“ Look, can we juss talk lata,” T.T replied nervously.
“ I’m juss getting da feelin’ you don’t wanna mess with ya’ boy nomo”
“ Na boo. Its nuthin’ like dat. I juss got hella stuff goin’ on right now”.
T.T had took a thousand dollars from Josh, and now he thought they were going to get into a relationship. Who wouldn’t want to be with a 5 foot 5, carmel skin girl, with long dark brown hair to her back. Josh was really feeling T.T, but there was no way she would be committed to a 5 foot 7, dark skin brotha’, with dreads, and funky breath. The only thing Josh was good for was keeping her pockets fat.
“ I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you. Maybe I’ll let you take me out”.
“ Alright, hit the line up lata’”
It was around seven at night and T.T still didn’t call Josh. He had already left her a dozen voicemails, and text messages. T.T had other things planned Nikki, her best friend. She wanted her to go to the club because there was suppose to be a famous basketball player there, and they were thirsty to find someone that would pay their bills. When T.T and Nikki walked in the club, they broke every man’s neck in the city of Chicago. They danced all night and got plenty of numbers. Finally T.T was in the v.i.p section with the ball player. It was time to work her magic. They talked, laughed, and brought plenty of drinks. When the clock struck one he was asking her to come to his hotel room. As they were leaving the club Josh called T.T’s phone, she quickly pressed ignore. T.T’s feet were hurting, so she stopped to take her heels off.
“I’ll catch up with you. I see the limo”.
As she stood back up T.T felt someone behind her. She turned and looked back.
“OH MY GOD!!! Josh what are you doing?”
Josh stood there with a gun in his hand, pointing it at T.T.
“So you juss gon’ ignore my calls huh?”
“No I didn’t her it, I swear,” T.T explained.
“ I told you from the jump I don’t like getting’ cheated on…get in the car T.T’.
“I’m sorry!”
“ Get in the fucking car”
He drove around and T.T just cried.
“ Why you do me like this?”
“I cant be with you Josh, we have to stay cool”.
He looked at her with tears streaming down his face, while they were at a red light.
“You cant be with me, then you cant be with anybody else at all. Til death do us part T.T”.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“ T.T where the fuck you been?” Josh asked.
“ Look, can we juss talk lata,” T.T replied nervously.

my crappy job
Trapped. A rat in a maze a tiger in a cage every cliché he could think of he was trapped at this hell hole they called a job. He couldn’t stand the damn manager it seemed as if he was always on his case he couldn’t catch a break for anything. If he was late or doing something kind of wrong even if he was doing nothing at all the manager would hop all over his case and launch into what his cliché ass speech about how he was hurting “the team” by whatever he was doing at the moment. This deush bag ass nigga better get the hell out my face with this bullshit is what he would think every time he was being lectured. One day he would snap and go coco cucu bananas on this prick and beat the cant help it out his ass. But for now he’d sit here and listen to his bull. These deush bag ass customers didn’t help either he wanted to give them all the dirty bird. The only thing that kept him going was A) the need for the money to pay for his rent, needs and wants and B) his co workers. Well what do you know its time to get off work and blaze
Stormy Night
The storm whipped the trees outside and she huddled into her quilt. She began to cry and rock back and forward gripping her teddy bear closely.
“Janae, are you woke?” asked Jazzy.
Janae rolled over a few times and then answered, “Man, what you want?”
“Im scared. I can’t go to sleep,” exclaimed Jazzy.
“Get your mp3 player and let your music put you to sleep. We got to get up in the morning and its 2 a.m.,” said Janae.
Jazzy ran to the dresser to grab her mp3 player, and jumped back in the bed. Ten minutes had passed.
“Janae, are you woke?” asked Jazzy.
“Hhhaaa, what do you want Jazzy? Listen here we not fina kept on doing this tonight,” yelled Janae.
“Im sorry, but this is not working. I keep thinking about that night. And don’t say what night either,” said Jazzy.
Janae quickly got up out the bed to comfort Jazzy.
“Baby sis, don’t begin to cry nor think about it. Daddy handled him the right way. You have nothing to worry about,” explained Janae.
It was one night when Jazzy was 7 years old. Janae was out at a friend’s house and momma was at work. It was a rainy night with the tree branches hitting up against the window. It was only Jazzy and Boo-man at home. Boo-man was Jazzy’s momma boy toy.
Boo-man entered the room and woke Jazzy up and told her to go and get in the tub again. He waited on Jazzy to come back in the room to get dressed.
“Uuummm, Boo-man can you get out so I could change,” asked Jazzy.
“Hell naw I can’t. You know I’ve been eye balling you for a minute and now I got you all alone,” said Boo-man.
“No, you grown ass hell Boo-man and I am a little girl,” yelled Jazzy.
Boo-man threw Jazzy on the bed, and raped her. Then he just left her there crying and bleeding. He left the house to make it seem as if he was there.
Jazzy told her momma and she went looking for Boo-man with Jazzy’s daddy. They found him at a strip club and beat the hell out of him and left him there crying and bleeding like he did Jazzy.
“Janae, are you woke?” asked Jazzy.
Janae rolled over a few times and then answered, “Man, what you want?”
“Im scared. I can’t go to sleep,” exclaimed Jazzy.

Immigration Officer
My hand trembled as I punched the number into the phone. I have been seeing this man (Paul) for the past three months and was beginning to like him, and then I saw him in the news that he was one of the members of the Blackwater officer. He and his friends have been convicted for molesting and killing innocent civilians in Iraq. He was caught by the Iraqi embassy and held in jail for two months. He called me one day that can I help him contact an immigration officer in Washington. I thought about it for a week, later I called the immigration officer, after talking for an hour; we came to Oklahoma and investigated Paul home. The officer came and two months later, I was on my way to Iraq to see the man I hope to marry in trail. I was escorted by the U.S Army; I spoke to him after he was convicted of enslaving Iraqis children. He was sentenced to one year in jail. I went back to Oklahoma with a broken heart, I tried to contact Paul friends and got only Bob, he offered to teach me about the business and six months later, I was on my operation to Sudan. I did not know the pentagon was watching my activities, after a successful operation, I went back home. While channeling the news, the immigration officer that I called for help was caught for bribery and civilian misconduct. My friends called me that I must come over their house. When we met, they told me that the immigration officer mentioned my name as an ally and for the next days, I was getting emails and hone calls from the immigration officer threatening me to call him or his enemies will come and try to kill me. I told my friends about it and we headed toward Mexico, I got another phone call to call the police commander at Washington police station five minutes before twelve P.M or he will be executed by the electric chair and it was six p.m. when we check into a hotel in Houston, the immigration officer enemies has caught up with us and we saw them checking into a hotel just a block away from us. I called the local police and they stalked the men’s, when it was eleven thirty, a knock came through the door, Bob was shot and there was a shootout that lasted fifteen minutes. It was me and someone alive then two more men came in and shot me as I reached to call the commander chief in Washington, I was shot again and trembled as I watch the immigration was getting electrocuted. I died ten minutes later.
My life is over!
Greg closed his eyes, took a deep breathe, and jumped. Two minutes earlier.
“Ever since I was little, my life’s been nothing but hell. My mother molested me, I moved from foster home to foster. In school everybody teased me, called me names like. gay boy faggot or little pussy.kids always beat me up all because I was gay. I dropped out of college because I didn’t have enough money to finish college. I don’t have any friends, and the only family I ever had was my last foster mother Betty and now she’s gone. There is no point of living anymore. I can’t take this shit any more, im fed up, I tired and, I want to be happy!

the mother and her daughter
Sarah White
Period 8
4/5/10
It wasn’t going to be easy, but somehow she had to confront her mother. Her mother was stealing her money, and she was going out and doing drugs with it. She knew her mother was doing it but she didn’t want to say anything. She wasn’t sure if it was for drugs or not, but she was sure that her mother was stealing her money. She hated the fact that her own mother the person that was supposed to provide for her was stealing from her. She sat in her mother’s room waiting for her to come home, so that she can confront her. She hears the door open, and her mother tries to sneak in not knowing that her daughter was in her room. “Hi mom, where have you been,” the daughter said. “I……. was out with some of my friends, shouldn’t you be in the bed sleep by now?” the mother said. “Umm….no I don’t have school tomorrow,” the daughter said. “Oh well, I’m kind or tired so yeah,” the mother said. “Mom, I know you have been taking my money and spending it on drugs,” the daughter said. The girl’s mother wasn’t really using the money for drugs, she was using the money to pay off this man she owed. He said that he was going to kill her daughter if she didn’t pay him. The daughter wanted to know why she didn’t tell her, she could have paid off the debt herself. The mother said that the man was her father he was a pimp, and he use to make the girls mother sell her body for money. The daughter was horrified and went to pay off the debt and treated the man who knocked her mother up. From then on, the mother and daughter never kept secrets or stole from each other again

“ Runaway Child”
She tore thought the alley, ducked into a doorway, and tried to squeeze into nothingness. She has been running from the police for a week now, and still she cant get rid of them. Kendra tries to stay at some friends house because she ran away from home because she was tired of her mother not caring about her. Her mother was a very beautiful women with long pretty and curly hair, straight white teeth, and light brown eyes. Every man wanted her, she was what we would call “thick”, in this day and age. Her name was Kimberly but everyone called her Kim. Her daughter was the exact opposite. She was short, had short and thin hair, and her teeth were very crooked. She was very skinny and had no shape. Her mother was so ashamed of her so she kept her in the house all the time. The only thing she was allowed to do was go to school, on the days her brother and sister weren’t sick, and come back home and cook and clean.
“Kendra get yo ugly ass out the bed so you can go to the store and get my kids some ice-cream!!!” her mother screamed
“ Ma its 3 in the morning and I have to go to school in about 4 hours”
“You aint going to school today because you aint cleaned up my house in 2 days or did you forget.”
That morning Kendra got up and got the money from her mother and went to the store. On the way there she saw a former friend of hers, her friend was now 20 years of age.
“ Hey girl what you doing out here this late.”
“Girl you the 1 that shouldn’t be out here this late how old are you about 15 or something.”
“Kendra get yo ugly ass out the bed so you can go to the store and get my kids some ice-cream!!!” her mother screamed
“ Ma its 3 in the morning and I have to go to school in about 4 hours”

That's the bomb!
It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong. Uplift Community High School received a bomb threat from Senn High School. The day was a Friday of the week before the juniors too their ACT test. Mrs. Green went to the bathroom and heard that someone was messing around in the bathroom.
“Who that is?” screamed Mrs. Green as she was walking to the bathroom. Mrs. Green had a bad day and was ready to explode. Mrs. Green found a note that read, “This school will blow up and look to the right because it will happen in the next three hours”.
There it was. A countdown on the bomb timer read 3:00:00. The countdown began and Mrs. Green was about to have a heart attack. Mrs. Green quickly called the main office and told Mr. Lazlo about what happened. Everyone in the school was informed about the bomb threat and everyone was asked to evacuate.
“Everyone need to get up out of here.” yelled Mrs. Green as she was like the devil holding a conference. Students were so scared that they left without their belongings.
The weirdest thing happened next. Uplift blew up and it turned out that the bomb threat was true. This was not joking matter and the police did some investigation. The police came to the solution that Osama Bin Laden blew the school up and was back in America. WWIII began that day on April 20, 2010.

“Flashback of PJJW IV”
Those few steps seemed the most difficult I had ever made in my life. Now, I’m minutes to my death, let me take you back the years over my life. First off my name is Peter John Jacob William IV. In my life I had it all, the women, money, houses, and cars; I lived the dream lifer. My childhood was amazing; my parents spoiled me, and all of my brothers. We lived in a huge house, three cars, and also had a huge vacation spot in Florida. I thought to myself it was unbelievable, but that wasn’t even the peak of my life. Teenage years were probably the best, that’s when I thought to my self that things couldn’t get even better. I met this girl named Angela she had the best personality. Angela and I fell in love and had sex all the time, it was really good, it was the best I ever had. I grew up and thought to myself I was out of my old ways, getting ready to settle down (because I was around thirty). That’s not the case with me or my life. To me I was just getting started, by the time I was fifty I had twenty kids (supposedly) by twenty baby mammas. The few steps will soon be the hardest ever. I had to give up everything, the money cars, houses, and girls. I gave it all up for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was the hardest decision I have ever made best it is the best.

Just One Look
Damn. She didn’t know passports even had an expiration date. All her life she’s been waiting to go see her even since she lost her in the big fire. The big fire was the worst moment in her life; it was 1963 when she had her first child in West Suborn Hospital, and when she first looked into her daughters eyes somebody yelled fire. People were running everywhere and my baby was quickly taking away from me as I was trying to quickly leave the building. It’s been 16 years since she seen her, but she was so happy when she got the letter. Damn three more hours until I get there she said sitting on the plane looking at her passport comparing it to the new one. O my god I can’t believe Im standing here in front of the door. Knock, Knock……..
chelsea final
It was not the birthday gift I was expecting. I woke up to find out that my aunt was in the hospital. My aunt was in a coma. She was in and out of the hospital. I was supposed to be going out to eat for my birthday, but I was so devastated from the situation that I did not feel like doing anything anymore. I and some of my family went to the hospital to visit my aunt to see how she was doing. When we arrived at the hospital, she was just lying there in the bed still. The machine starting beeping and I saw doctors rushing into the room telling us to get out. Thirty minutes later, the doctor came out and approached us that my aunt had passed away.

Why Do Fools Fall in Love?????
Why do fools fall in love, well if you listen I'm going to tell you. I believe fools fall in love (male or female) because they are sick and tired of being single, and they want to hurry up and fall in love with the first person that comes their way. You see fools to me are basically desperate, which is why they are called fools. They be falling in love with good for nothing people, and then they end up getting married (which normally never last), but hey, their "in love". They also don't focus on the quality of the person, if you look good, and for males if you have a big ass, then that's all that matters, but they don't focus on the personality or what's on the inside, well they do focus on the "inside" if you know what I mean, that's not a good reason to fall in love with somebody. The word L.O.V.E to fools, is not a word or an emotional feeling, it's an abbreviation for (legs open very easy) that's why they love you....DUH!!!!!

THE LIGHT AHEAD OF ME
The dream last night had seemed so real, but it was just a dream right? I was walking down a dark road with g but a really bright light in sight. It felt like I had been walking for years, my legs felt like logs, and my body felt like it was made of paper as if the wind blew hard enough I would float away and disappear out of the universe like a ballon. I had no idea where i was or where i was going, but this did stop me from following the light. Once I got close enough to see what was at the light there was a male figure standing there moving his hand as if he was greeting me to come closer. Once i got close enough to see who the man was, I saw it was my grandfather who had passed away when i was younger. He gave me the biggest hug ever and whispered in my ear "No matter how old you are i will always be here to lead the way for you." I began crying and instantly woke up. All i want to know was it just a dream?

Western Expansion
It was the strangest thing I have ever seen, with tubes and wires. I was a little boy, when I read about the expansion westward. I was curious; I didn’t know what was happening before my eyes. I asked my teacher at school and she said that she had no clue what was going on. When I got home, I asked my dad and he said we are just trying to make the country bigger and there are some people trying to stop us? We have tried our best to come to an agreement, but they don’t want to give us what belongs to us. I saw on the news, many people traveling with tubes, wires, guns and their family’s. I thought that we had to move also, nut daddy assured me that we were going to stay in Dover, Delaware. I heard from one of my friends that there was a man jailed for not paying his taxes, I didn’t know paying your taxes was a law. I believed his name was David Thoreau, my freinds brought the newspaper “Daily Herald” to me and I saw the article when David is being interviewed. He talks about the unlawful actions that the united sates does everywhere. David talks about the idea of manifest destiny and civil disobedience. A concept that the united states were asks by God to conquer all the territories west and civilize the tribes that were presumed to be uncivilized and without the knowledge of the supreme faith. He says hat he is tired of the unnecessary war like the war against Mexico and war againast the Native Americans. He is tired of the way the un9ted states are treating many people and countries. I got inspired by him and talked to my dad about him, but he say David is just trying to get attention. I went to sleep wondering about the concept of civil disobedience.

The cat that did not meow!
Once there was a cat that lived on the street. This cat was worried; she didn’t know what to do. She had did not just have one or two, instead she had five kittens to take care of. All but one of her offspring looked the same, as black as the night sky. The one that was odd was not like the rest. She had an orange coat. She was also the biggest of all her mother’s offspring. Months passed and she continued to grow and grow, even bigger than her mother.
Hunting every night for rats in the allies, she became the best hunter, catching most of the meals by herself. No matter how big and strong she was, there was one thing she was not able to do. She could not communicate like the rest of her family. They would meow and meow all day and night. She would open her mouth, but no sound would come out. Till one day, animal patrol came and tried to catch her mother and siblings. She jumped out of a garbage can and opened her mouth and gave a big roar. This scared the men and made them run back where they came from. Now every night when you hear meows from outside, you’ll hear a big roar sounding like a lion.
P.S. The cat is a lion.

A letter to that man
She hesitated at the post box, not knowing if she really wanted to send her letter. Then she thought about it a little more, and said “Well, it’s for his own good.” See about a year ago Ce-Ce’s father Buford got out of jail and was acting like he controlled her. But Ce-Ce wasn’t going for that, she was 17 years old and hadn’t seen her father in about 8 years.
When Ce-Ce was nine her father went to jail for picking up his friends Don and Steve, after they robbed a house on 47th and King Drive. He really didn’t know of any of these things until he got pulled over by the police. They took him to jai, and because he had a rap sheet as long as an invitation list to a party, they gave him eight years. Now this man doesn’t know anything about her and her life because of his time in jail. She never wrote him or went to see him, she just didn’t care anymore.
“ Man ma you know your baby daddy Buford get out of tomorrow, and my grandma want me to go with her to get him. I guess she going to be going by herself because I don’t even know that man.” Said Ce-Ce
“Well, you don’t have to go I’ll talk to her if you want me to.” Said Brenda Ce-Ce’s mom.
“Okay mom would you please because I really don’t want to go.” Is what she said as she leaves out to go to school.
Ever since Ce-Ce was a kid she loved her father and no body could tell her nothing wrong. She still loved her father very much but she couldn’t understand why he hadn’t made an effort to talk to her. Now Buford has been at home for two years and over these years he has denied Ce-Ce as ever being his daughter four times, he has also whopped her, cursed her out, and called her out of her name a couple of times. He never want to spend time with her unless he has some money, so when he broke he don’t even answer. At this point Ce-Ce has not given up on him, but she wants to tell him how she really feels, so she writes a letter telling him what on her mind.
Dear daddy,
I has come to my attention that you never answer the phone for me when I call. You never come get me and take me places like you do those little kids that are your friends kids that call you uncle B. I’m really getting to there point of hating you because you ignore me. My mom always struggles to take care of me and my sisters but luckily grandma helps out when she ever she can. I know you sell drugs so you got to have money. I really hate when we go to family events and you come around like every thing is good. It seems like everyone knows this but you, even your own sister don’t talk to you because the way you do me. I really hope that you take this and make it better.
Love Always,
Ce-Ce Harris

it cant be true
“ it can’t be true”
It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong.
“Ring, ring, ring” the noise of Mona’s phone woke her up.
“Hello,” Mona answered.
“Girl you still in the bed? Get up! Now you gon’ be late,” Shanti told her. Mona rolled out of bed, rushing to the bath room, as she thought to herself “dang, I’m starting the day off wrong already”.
School had went by so slow today for Mona, even though she got to school third period. Everyday after school Mona would normally go to her boyfriend’s house, but today she had an appointment at the clinic. This was Mona’s second time going to the clinic because she was afraid she was pregnant. Mona always thought about how her life would be if she were to have kids by Robert. All she could say was that they would be fine. Mona was 5”2, carmel skin, with black hair to her back. She had a swagg that was on point, and all the females wanted to be her. Robert was 5”6, light skin, with hazel eyes, and a smile that could light up the room. They’ve been together two years, and they were perfect for each other.
“Hey babe, you ready?” Mona asked Robert.
“I’m sorry boo, I cant go with you. I have to watch my brothers. I’m sure you aint pregnant tho’. Its proly a mistake like last time,” Robert replied.
“You know I wouldn’t mind having your baby tho’. You’re my man and I love you”.
“Okay, call me when you get out”.
The whole time Mona was at the clinic, all she could think about was how Rob didn’t say he loved her back. “Maybe I’m trippin’”. She didn’t like to trip on him a lot because she didn’t want to push him away.
“Girl I just left the clinic,” Mona expressed to Shanti.
“You were in there forever and a day” Shanti joked.
“Yea, but where you at? What’s all that noise?”
“Girl my brothers, but Imma call you lata,” Shanti hung up the phone so fast she had Mona worried.
“DANG, she must be busy, she didn’t even ask if I was pregnant or not”.
At the bus stop Mona decided she would do a surprise visit by Rob’s house, so she can see his expression when he heard the news. As she knocked on the door, her hands began to sweat. She was nervous and excited at the same time. Rob’s brother Maurice answered the door. He looked surprised and just stood there.
“Are you gonna let me in?” Mona asked as she pushed through the door, and laughed. “Where is Rob?”
“Umm…he’s in the back, but wait here,” Maurice responded

The Next Day of My Life
She SO did not want to be here, especially when he was in the same room. Pooh hated to even look his way, his voice, or even smell his scent.
“I can’t stand him,” yelled Pooh.
“Why?” questioned Mariah.
As Pooh was getting ready to explain and Jason walked past with his new girl on his arm.
“This is what I’m talking about. He is always doing too much just to make me mad,” said Pooh.
“Pooh, calm down. It’s gone be okay,” explained Mariah.
“No, you just don’t understand. I’m pregnant with Jason’s baby and he doesn’t want anything to do with me or the baby,” said Pooh.
“What the hell you mean he doesn’t want anything to do with you all? You didn’t lie down and make the baby self, so he has a part in this as well. Hold on he is going to have a change of heart once I finish talking to him,” said Mariah with aggression.
“No, don’t do that. Just leave him alone, because I don’t even know if I want it. This my junior year and I don’t want to ruin my life with a baby at this age,” said Pooh.
“Okay I understand what you saying now. Just be sure this is what you want to do,” explained Mariah.
“I’m going to go tomorrow to end this. Are you going to go with me? You know I can’t do this by myself,” cried out Pooh.
“Girl, you know I got your back. But did you tell Jason about this?” asked Mariah.
“Yes I did. He is happy about and said you probably can get back together now that I’m ending a life of ours,” said Pooh.
“HE is beyond a dog. That doesn’t make any sense. Don’t go back to him girl. He is not worth it,” said Mariah.
“I’m not but let’s get to class,” said Pooh.
The next day came and Pooh and Mariah was at the hospital. Pooh’s name gets called. Right when Pooh was getting out her seat, Jason walked through the door.
“Pooh! Wait baby don’t do it. I got to ask you something as well,” yelled Jason.
“What do you want? You said you wanted nothing to do with this. So go away,” said Pooh.
“No, baby I want you to marry me. I was being dumb, and my mama told me what’s real and its being with you,” explained Jason.
“Omg you can not be doing this. I can not be with you, Jason I have to go,” said Pooh.
She walked through the doors and Jason dropped to his knees.
“I can’t stand him,” yelled Pooh.
“Why?” questioned Mariah.
As Pooh was getting ready to explain and Jason walked past with his new girl on his arm.

Losing Debo
“Losing Debo”
My hand trembled as I punched the number into the phone. I had just got the news that my cousin had been in an accident. The only thing I could think about was if he was okay? My aunt called my phone in total shock. The way she yelled and screamed shook my entire family, as we awaited the news to see if he would pull through or not. He didn’t. That’s when I dropped the phone and couldn’t breathe, think, or even cry. My heart felt like it had just been ripped out. While my older cousin sat there describing how graphic the accident was. He explained how the grand prix had been split in half and how their body parts and blood everywhere. The only thing I could do was cry. My cousin Debo was like my best friend and God had called him home so soon. I just went my cousin to know that he may be gone, but he’s never forgotten.

Don Of The Morning
Don Of The Morning
The lane was night-dark, event at noon. Walking in the shadows of death, hoping for savior. I hoped Jesus was answering my prayers because I was about to commit the greatest sin of all. Sometimes I just sit down and wonder if theirs an actual heaven. But never in my life I will picture my self here, but hey I am here and all I can hear was a lion saying; “holy, holy, holy, holy…” This only gave me hope but no answer. Now I am getting angry and the snake was following me with its sharp high pitch. I turned around and the God from this kingdom saw me and said all of this can be yours if you stay here. Their plenty of girls, money, and every thing was made of gold, and everyone knew you. It sounded like a good deal but I had to say no. So the lion said; “you” I said me, the lion nodded I walk into the light and the same things were offered and I took the offer. Same deal only their was light and I was the king of the throne and ran this world, but guess what the lion was the same person who was the God of the dark world and I became him through the power mind and influence of others. So to whom do we all worship because if you do not know you might be stuck in the same situation as me. But I did make a wise choice because at least I know the truth compare to European lies created by man I worship Horus The Sun, I am the dawn of the morning the Sun who brings life to all. Jesus is Horus but Horus was first remember that.

Just When I Thought It Couldn’t Get Worse
By: Jabril Gushiniere
It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong. My car was broke, I had just lost my job and to top it all off my mortgage was due at the begging of the month. I always wanted to do things the right way, work my way to the top, but now it seems as if the night way has gotten me back to square one. I used to hustle on the streets that are how I got my work ethic. The good thing about hustling is if you leave it, there’s always a chance that you can come back. I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I went to see my brother Travis to get me some Doup.

My life flashed before my eyes.....
My hand trembled as I punched the number into the phone. I couldn’t even think straight, I couldn’t decide if my life was worth keeping or losing. Should I quickly dial 911? Just then, the man about six feet tall shouted, “lady we don’t got all day, now call your husband and tell him to meet you on 14th street.” I was confused as to why the man was making me do this. Taking my time with dialing the number, one of the man put a gun on my back. Just then, my life flashed before my eyes, all I could think about is my family. My family is expecting me to come home. One of the men said “we could do this the easy way, or the hard way.” Tears were rushing down my face, and it felt like my heart was about to pump out of my chest. All I could say was, what are you doing, you have the wrong family, you have it all wrong.
Just then, one of the men snatched the phone out my hand, and searched through my contacts. “Found it!” the man shouted. “Now we have progress. But wait, who’s going to get on the phone, sounding like his wife.” The man about six feet tall shouted with fear, “I don’t know but I will think of something, put her in the truck.” All I could do was scream for my life, and try to break free, but the man had a good grip of my clothing. Just as they tried to put me into the van, the police pulled up and all the men jumped into the van, and drove off. I couldn’t even explain what was going on, but worst of all; I couldn’t identify at least one man.

Just as they tried to put me into the van, the police pulled up and all the men jumped into the van, and drove off. I couldn’t even explain what was going on, but worst of all; I couldn’t identify at least one man.

“It was Nothing but the Hospital”
It was the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and wires; I was so young then I think I was only four. My grandmother was in a bed; the only things I could remember was now bright the lights were, and the machines were all over the place. The place was huge, I mean it held a lot of rooms. I remember my grandmothers room number was 829. My grandmother was woman who was always filled with joy, nothing but positive things to say. The last thing I heard my grandmother say is “I love you baby, just walk with God and He’ll never let you go.
Soon everything became ambiguous to me; I saw my grandmother laying in a nice box. I said to my father is grandma sleep, why isn’t she getting up. I knew my grandmother hated when we turned on the lights while she was trying to sleep. While my grandmother was laying in the box, most of my family members were crying. I thought to myself that she was only sleeping, but that was not the case.
My grandmother was sleeping, and little did I know she never walking up. My granny was up in the sky, she was with Jesus. The place and the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes wires was a place called a hospital. I thought to myself I never want to go back there again, because it was the place were my grandmother had the tubes and the wires.

She so did not wont to be here, especially when her and someone very important to her just done arguing. Her Feeling hurt she could not take the pain, because she knew that she was still gone have to see her later at basketball practice. Every time in the hallway when they saw each other feelings started to go crazy because they knew deep in side that there feelings was still there but seeing her walk down the hallway with another girl really hurted.
DEAD NIGHT PART 1
The lane was night-dark, even at noon. All of the lights were off, and everything was pitch-black. In the middle of it all, there was a man on his motorcycle. He was riding a '84 Harley Davidson. While driving down the road, his motorcycle stopped in front of an old, run-down hotel. He jumped off his bike and walked into the Deadend Hotel. When he approached the front desk, he saw that the man didn't have any teeth. When he got closer, he also noticed that the man was also losing patches of his skin on his face. "What the fuck is wrong with your face man? It looks like your shit is hanging on for it's life." The man didn't respond, so Jack got mad and hit the man with his helmet. When the helmet connected with the skull, the man opened his mouth and a long, shrivering scream came from it. A couple seconds later, more zombies came out from the room behind the counter. Jack took out his .45 revolver and started shooting at them. There were too many of them for Jack, so he was soon wrestled 2 the floor. When the zombies started eating at Jack's flesh, he screamed out "help, please help me lord!!" . Then, all of a sudden, Jack's friend, Bob, ran into the hotel and started shooting everything that moved. A minute later, all of the zombies were dead, again, and Jack was bleeding. "How did you find me Bob?" asked Jack. "My bike stopped in front of the hotel, and I heard you scream." They fixed their bikes and rode off into the night, with Jack having a craving for some human flesh.

She ducked as the plate smashed against the wall behind her.
" What is your problem," said Sheka.
" I don't have a problem, that's you your the one running around town acting like a big slut," Ron said.
"Aw for real well this slut pays all the bills in this house," Sheka said.
"You guys really need to stop arguing because this is getting too crazy for me," Meka said.
"Alright we will finish this later," Ron said.

Which was crazy because Dell and i didn't like each other at first, but now we are closer than ever. I told Sheka to stop being so angry with Ron because it will end up bad.

Snake the Coward
It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong. There were three boys name Snake, Ghost, and Don. Ghost had a brand new phone that he loved so much and Snake admired the phone a lot. Don was a smart kid who just did the right things for the right people. Don was eating lunch and Ghost gave him the phone to activate it for him. After Don gave Ghost back the phone, Ghost was very happy and the two boys walked away peacefully. Snake decided to mess up the two happy boys’ day by stealing the phone from Ghost and blaming it on Don. Snake fed Ghost a ton of lies about Don taking Ghost’s phone and Snake knew that he was telling lies all along. Don got very angry and beat Snake up and Ghost was finally able to get his beloved phone back. Don did not get into any trouble because the police found out that Snake was lying all along and everyone now knew why Snake was a coward.

Found Reality
The dream last night had seemed so real, but it was just a dream right? I mean, I know we're just friends but I've felt so warm having her wrapped in my arms. We were just relaxing on my couch watching "I Lover You Beth Cooper." It's her favorite movie; I'm sitting up and she is resting her head on my lap. A sceme comes up where Derick is looking into her eyes as the sound of a campfire is being made. She grabs the DVD remote and pauses the movie. She looks into my eyes and calls my name in a shy and soft voice "Um Michael." What's up" I respond, she says "I know this sounds crazy but I'm in love with you.: "As we become closer I became infatuated with just your physical features: your smile, your eyes, and I swear your the cutest when your angry" as she giggles. She sits up and gives me another deep stare in my eyese trying to open the blinds to my soul. "I want to make your soul smile and make that diamond shaped heart of yours shine brighter." I was surprised and speechless; She then lowers her eyes to my lips and slowly moves in for a kiss. Our lips touch, the appeal for one another is creating heat within the room. She slips me her tongue; I give her mine. She takes my hand and leads me to my bedroom. Then I wake up from my dream but there is someone sleeping next to me. Was it just a dream?
HIGH
Color swooped and swirled behind his closed eyelids as the music soared, taking him back to a place where he resided between her thighs. Pause, it was more than that; I was the way he gazed into her eyes. He lost a soul that could always turn dark, he gave up what could be broken so he gave up his heart. Now what does he have left, Nothing. This man gave up everything to be engulfed in love. I mean he'd fall because well he's HIGH!
I didn't mean to break his heart, I was so in love I lost feeling. So wrapped up in him I was a drug he was dealing. I went numb. Now i sit here and stare as he sits there on his mother's plastic covered couch slouched. He sits there shattered into a million pieces attempting to find his self at the bottom of a liqour bottle. I didn't tell him to loose his self, I knew better. I knew better than to get HIGH off my own supply.
Euphoric notions turned into deep devotion. Thier love was potent. As the on looker I knew it was a tad to strong. It was like watching atrain wreck, I watched bad go wrong. Now she's there feeling sorry and he sits there numb and love is to blame for what they've become.

Dream State
Colors swooped and swirled behind his closed eyelids as the music soared, taking him back to the night when his heart 1st roared. He met this beautiful vixen that was about 24, He already knew for her what he had in store. She was caramel skinned about 5'4" and a beautiful smile that he grew to adore. He asked whats her name she said " Felicia what can i do you for? " I noticed your beautiful train can i climb aboard? She said " sorry sweety this not chutes and ladders. " and he hit the floor. Just give me a chance I swear my presence won't bore. She replied " Okay lets see what your scrabble be like " and we exited out the door. So shorty I mean Felicia where you from? " Chicago ofcourse 74th call it young Killaward. " So you repping the best? " Yes we should get an award. " So you guarding your chest? " Yes sir with a sharp double edge sword. " So niggas can't try to infest? " yes man homie you seem like the best! " Can i take you home? " Long as your hands don't try to undress. " ... As i open my eyes here she lays on my chest.

OWELL..No Africa for her. she had already missed her plane and half her friends were gone. There was nothing left to do but call her boyfriend over and spend time with him. 9 o'clock. The door bell rang. She walked to the door with a towel on. Because she had just hoped out of the shower. As she open the door he quickly made there eyes connect. He grabbed her hand. Closed the door and headed for the stairs. As they were going up. she was losining up his clothes. When they reached the room. he threw her on the bed and quickly took the rest of his clothes off. As she laid down he kissed her passiontaly. All that was going threw her head was "Danm his lips so soft". And as she was thinking that. He stoped and started for his pants. he had a condom in the back of his levi's. He gave the condom to her and then she slowly but instantly put it on him. He softly inserted himself in her in her as she grasped like an apple. He moved back and forth careful not to mess up the motion. Everything was perfect he felt great.

They Come Out At Night, So Run Like Hell Or Die
She tore through the alley, ducked into a door way, & tried to squeeze into nothingness. Then at that very instant she saw a very sudden, swift object. A shadow flicked byoff of the door way wall. She was breathing heavily in small, and slow breaths trying to come back to her senses. How ever she could not come to her senses. Then right at that moment a cold, freezing wind swept on her. She glanced out of the opening very slowly, & crawled out catiously. She stood up from off her knees such as that of a child not trying to wake up either mommy, or daddy. She gazed through the narrow opening of the door way, A ill-fainted cry broke out in a sudden close by. The girl became so startled that she scampered through the door way, and amidst into the alley way of hell. She panted longing to get to the exit of the alley way. Then just as she was 20 feet she tripped into a puddle of mud face first. She lifted up her head whining, crying, & panting repeating "no..." repeatedly, & then ....SWOOSH!. She was being dragged diwn the alley way back the opposite way of which she sprinted forth on. She was dragged at a speed of 100MPH. Then just like that at a suddle moment she lay dead as that of a soldier on the battle field in a puddle of blood. The apparition then fatally screeched into the night some where far awayin the depths of the castle. The castle has alley ways that are narrow, & the apparition will always come out at 2am in the morning for its next victim.....
