Kristallnacht Dusk was gone, here comes dawn. Two out of three were gone. Millions of others have gone before them. What a monster they had become. It all started with violence, then broken glass. One way to ruin class. It covered, smothered pathways. Glass glistening like water on the bay. Many were left battered. Lives …
The door slammed. I sprinted to my room , my eyes already pouring. I can’t let him in . I won’t . I can’t deal with this anymore, I just can’t . Sage . Sage . Sage . That’s my name. My dad called me this but he always said it three times like a …
I hate my life. You never know when you will die, it could even be today. You never know around here, you just don’t. Someone I know will die today, it could even be me. We live in overpopulated Earth, everyone is poor, everyone lives in fear. I have learnt to live with that. The …

Waking up shivering and shaking like a car on a bumpy road with the rusty alarm clock blaring, barely with the synchronized pounding of people up stomping their boots. The sad reminder of the cold concrete when I stand up to get my boots. While tying the laces of my dusty boots with the built-up …
We stroll down the street listening to the soft whisper of the rain. As we approach a group of boys, we pull away from each other. Being gay and alive is an act of protest that I did not sign up for. In the absence of the world, I know your hand would be outstretched …
