The Price of A New Life at Manitoba
Grayson is an excellent student, but even as a young child, he displayed criminal tendencies by faking the parent's signature on a grade sheet for one of his friends. Grayson, who was expelled early from school for this transgression, is surprised to learn that his mother, Amelia, is dating his uncle. Although his mother begs him not to tell his father, he does, and as a result, his father dies by suicide. Grayson kills his mother and uncle by lighting the house on fire after learning that his mother and uncle are still seeing each other. He is brought up at a juvenile facility where he is sent. After his release, the warden instructs him to focus on his studies while providing the address of another of his uncles.

The Decaying Sugar Princess
I was fighting against the wave of tears pushing for release, straining to hold them back while maintaining the elegant composure of hostess at a table of strangers. My mind was erratic and unable to focus, the sounds of the street below were distracting, enveloping me, shrouding me from the madness of this “business luncheon” or rather the facade to day drink.

Sabbatical
If you had asked Amanda Herchel two weeks ago where she pictured herself in two weeks time, she'd probably say something normal like, "Tanned and talking my way out of an airport parking ticket," or, "Nursing a hangover from the vacation bender I'm starting tomorrow." She absolutely would not say, "Ya'know, probably sitting in an interrogation room handcuffed to a table defending some guy I barely know." But here she is. Here she is with stale sunscreen coating her shoulders and dried sand caked between her toes. Here she is using some agent's suit jacket as a pillow. Here she is sitting in an interrogation room defending some guy she barely knows.
