Starry, Starry Night

It was a slow night. One of those nights that contained a nice hot bubble bath, candles lit, and my lonely nights chill play list on shuffle. Nights like this didn't consume of any homework, only reflection. A tornado of thoughts swirled through my mind as I attempt to relax myself with my surroundings.

The whole album of Ctrl was playing through and I decided to go out on my balcony of my room and light one of my friends stolen cigs. I only smoked when I felt I needed extra aid to calm my nerves. With the tension of the town at an all time high and the death of Mr. Evans I decided I deserved this one cig. So I take a smoke. Breathing out my smoke and looking toward the sky it begins to set. The gradient of orange to purple was astonishing. It seemed to be more appealing than the nicotine flowing through my bloodstream.

The next ten minutes passed slowly as the sun set. The sky became a deep sea blue with twinkling stars covering the skyline. Star's were my favorite thing on Earth and I have grown up to love them and their subtle significance on the world. Stargazing was at an all time high tonight and there couldn't be anything to make me more comfortable.

Continuing to stare off I see a shooting star. The last time I ever saw one was when I was stargazing at the park with my mother at age 8 and made me realize some miracles are true if your eyes can see it. So I saw another and a wish followed. My wish was super sacred to my heart and it has been heavy on my mind. The prayers were never really answering them so the sign of a shooting star gave me hope on this desire I wished to come true.

    Starr's scream echoed in Marie's head for days after the rooftop meeting. Soon after Starr had emerged from the door, Marie flew back into the building, past the terrified girl and a puzzled Mei, who seemed to be trying to piece together the clue that Marie had left in the snow. The combination of her being able to move the snow and Mei not being able to see her while Starr could had left Marie utterly frazzled, and the only thing she had thought to do was leave.

Mr. Evans

The day started with the annoying sound of my alarm waking me up to go to school. After snoozing my phone for the 23rd time I remove the warmth of my bed sheets from my body. As I shift in my bed I glance out of my bedroom window. The familiar view of dark gray clouds covering the sky and trees swaying with the wind didn't surprise me. Ever since the passing of Mr. Evans I haven't been able to sleep without hearing odd creaking in my room. Is he haunting me? I am not one to believe in ghost, but the past few nights have been too odd to say the least. I’m only a teenager with a mom that is never home because she is always working. Most nights I stay home alone in the apartment. Paranormal activity occurring in my room is the last piece of stress I need right now in my life. I proceed to do my morning routine and cook myself breakfast. As I open the pantry I see the gingerbread cookies that Mr. Evans and I shared the love for. He loved these cookies and always had a fresh batch ...

Karma, Its a thing.

So as they always say, what goes around comes around. I have never felt the effect of that saying until this year. I am now a true believer in karma to the point where it has truly shaped my personality because I have no become more aware of my energy I put out into the world… They day started with a weird vibe roaming the halls of the apartment complex. After talking to two ladies they told me the tea. Apparently there was a photo that had resurfaced and showed Edgar was trying to kill Ether and that is stirring up a bunch of turmoil amongst the community. Information keeps resurfacing and it's becoming to haunt our whole apartment complex. I decided that all of this information was becoming overwhelming and so I decided to go for a walk and grab an iced coffee. Once I break free from the whispering noises surrounding the halls I see a crowd standing in front of the complex. The direction of their heads all went upwards towards the top of the tower. I decide to look up as well an...

Fog Reveals the Past

Crazy things have been occurring in the town. I never thought there would be so much drama my senior year. The things happening seem straight out of a tv show on Abc that airs every Wednesday night. Information has been surfacing the town every day it seems like. And its weird how the death of Mr. Evans started the domino effect. I start my day out as I always do. My routine of opening my blinds to notify me about the forecast. When I open my blinds today a gray misty fog hung low across the sky. The fog was so thick that a flashlight couldn't even break through. Fog in my eyes is just a nuisance. Like what is your purpose fog? You ruin peoples hair. Add extra humidity to the air. Affects a person's overall mood. And mostly importantly make it hard for people to drive. Every time I see fog it brings me back to six years ago when I was involved in a car accident. And still to this day I categorize that as the worst and scariest day of my life. At the age of 11 I knew that ev...
