Winter Snowflake
The first time leaving is always the hardest. Amy could still remember that night. The night where a shadow man had stood over her, with the cold breeze stinging her skin and the moonlight casting shadows over her face. But he had left. Amy’s father. Leaving nothing but a void of emptiness.Amy was five at the time. The second time, Amy was on the other side of the door. She needed to get away from her mother and the ever-enlarging gap that her father had left behind, but her heartstrings had tugged her back like a marionette—for her emotions chained to her like a puppet. Amy pulled and resiste...
The truck that drove away. (Exclusion of Japanese-Americans)
I've heard so much about the Japanese-Americans being sent to camps surrounded by barbered wire. I asked Ma for the reason, but all she said was "Because they endanger our country." I think Ma is wrong. Mr. Nakamura from the shop down the street could never endanger the country, but what would Ma think if I said my opinion out loud.

Another Day
By the time I stepped outside the leaves were on fire, and I was running late. It was a beautiful site the orange and red leaves cascading down from the trees, but no time to bask in their beauty unless I wanted to be in trouble with Sierra again.Laughing at the memory of the last lunch date I missed with my best friend, I hurried down the street. Just as I reached the cafe I heard a loud screech from behind me turning around to see Sierra in her Audi waiting for me. Pulling me into a tight hug she said, " I missed you LaiLai." Smiling and pulling her close I replied, "You too RaRa." When w...
