Hidden in Plain Sight
she did what she had to do to survive.. even if it meant doing something she'll soon live to regret
There I stood. At the edge of the dock. The loud thrashing of the waves moving around below my feet. The water moving at a rapid pace; flowing over and around the fallen body. His body. The tattered clothing of his swaying against the current as they barely held against his skin; as if to be holding on for dear life, afraid to become lost amidst the darkness of the ocean forever. My thoughts moving rapidly throughout my mind.
What did you do? Why did you do it?
Did you really think you'd get away with this?
There I stood. My eyes watching slowly as the waves slowly guided his body out towards the far sea. Goodbye, Thomas. You'll be dearly missed... or would you?

Two Against One
To The Educators I Trusted Most, I can't say that I never understood it. I can't. You wanted nothing more than to help that poor, innocent new student who had no one else around but herself. That poor girl who was getting bullied by boys her own age and needed a superhero to swoop in and save her; protect her, might I add. You needed to be the one for her to come towards when things went to hell, right? You did as good as you believed you've done. Real good. Too bad you never actually did anything to help that new student at all, did you?

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
