I am not these Diseases
The school nurse brought my dad, who was a teacher at the parochial school I attended, into the nurse's office. There was a female classmate of mine in the nurse's office too. She was skinny too. I found out later that she suffered from anorexia. I was slouching in a chair nearby; tired, hungry, and thirsty. "Mr. Fox," the school nurse said, "You need to take your daughter to a doctor right away." My father didn't say anything, as a child of a physically and verbally abusive alcoholic father, he didn't usually react strongly or quickly to much in life. It was safer to stay in the shadows, but in the bright lights of her office, there was no where for him to hide.

Oh, Deathless One...
"Oh, Deathless One, we invite you here to feast on our offerings of blood and eternal loyalty," thirteen people of all genders, chanted and gathered together in a circle, on the snow-covered area during a chilly night. They are dressed in black cloaks, with charms dangling from their necks.

Born Dead
BORN DEAD! By Patricia Fox I woke, my torn jacket folded up under my pounding head, too much wine to drink, I think. I don’t remember hopping this one, I must’ve been really wasted already. There is no ticket required to ride the freights, thank the gods. I wonder if the train will hit the next rail yard before dark, so I can maybe get some food. I remembered there is this field of vegetables and some apples trees right near the station. I can hop off, then it’s about a quarter-mile to the rail yard, so I can avoid the Rail Yard Guards, too. I think the yard ahead is the place that has that field of vegetables by it, and those lovely fruit trees. Perfect.
