The Bitter Truth
Cars zipped by endlessly as he observed the movement of Agents that were assigned to secure the perimeter around the Parliament. Richard stared at the front doors as they swung open. He raised the silenced barrel of the rifle from the windowsill and aimed the crosshairs on the person exiting the building. He used the thumb of his right hand to press a button on his watch to start the chronometer. Then he hit it again to pause the time as soon as the person disappeared behind a tree.

My New Project
The picture I chose for this post is only there because the guidelines for posting a picture are quite specific and I only have photos that are too poor or too rich in quality to post, so I found an image of a fish pooping. I am also required to add a photo or video to each post, so this could be a fun little adventure for all of us.

The murder of David 'Stringbean' Akeman
If you grew up during the 70s, you probably watched a program called Hee Haw. It had jokes, dancing and singing from many legendary country performers like Loretta Lynn, Buck Owens, Randy Travis, and countless other country stars.

THE RAPE I WITNESSED
Before I begin, this story will be graphic and hard for some readers. A few nights before my best friend got raped she invited me to an air B and B party with a few of my other friends and some random people that I barely met that night. This event took place June 13th, 2020- June 15th, 2020. Everyone at this party seemed pretty ordinary, no one came off to me as creepy. The house had three bedrooms, two living rooms, one dining room, a kitchen, three bathrooms, and a pool. Everyone entered through the garage so the cameras didn't catch how many people actually entered the house. The three bathrooms were designated to certain people for those who wanted to spend the night. One was the master bedroom and was designated to the one person who paid for mostly everything. The other bedroom was called the "guy only bedroom." Leaving the last one to be called the "girl only bedroom." Each bedroom contained three beds. Those of us who showed up to the party first on the first night got to pick our beds first. I showed up first so I picked the bed all the way to the left side of the room. My best friend picked the bed on the right of the room and this other girl picked the bed in the middle. The other girls who were staying the night slept on the floor, didn't sleep, or slept in one of the living rooms. My best friend invited one of her close guy friends over so her boyfriend would show up. Her boyfriend doesn't know that many people at the party, so he said that he would go if that one guy showed up. Two hours after the party started, both of them arrive together. My best friend got so excited that she ran outside to walk them in. But, little did she know that inviting her close guy friend would make the worst night of her life.
