  • Nothing Else Needs to be Said

    How many times must we fall for this trap before we learn our persistent lesson?We are born into prophecies and destinies, swaddled in the arms of the future before we can even lift our newborn heads. Some of us are lucky; some of us are told we will be heroes, the names inscribed on the bases of marble sculptures, our faces forever etched into stone for all to worship and thank.But the lucky ones are fair and few in numbers, and the rest of us are left behind.Those of us infected by misfortune have our destinies thrust at us with upturned noses and trembling lower lips, as though we are poor ...irIone door

    The Reunion I Didn't Want

    School, 7:57 am: AriusI leap out of the car to see the haphazard brick school building. Children careen into each other and tumble towards the ground. I hear people howling and laughing. They seem to be causing a riot, but in reality, they act like every other middle schooler. I quickly stride towards the doors as the bell shrieks, making my ears ring loudly. As I near the doorway, rowdy students push past me. Drifting towards the back of the crowd, I bump into another boy. After a quick apology, the student introduces himself.
