      “Do you keep crying; all you do is cry for what you lost?”       “No… You are right. I…”       “You’ll make excuses again, won’t you? Stand up and fight for what we’ve lost.”       “I don’t have the strength to do that.”       “I knew what kind of shit you were from the […]

      The thunder was scaring the hell out of me. I got into the backseat of the car and my father drove off as soon as the door closed. I was looking out the window, keeping my eyes as far away from the front as possible. When our eyes met, my father’s gaze pierced through […]

      I was lying face down unconscious; I didn’t know where I was or how I got here. I was exhausted to lift my head off the ground. Although it was difficult, I somehow managed to do it. I shook myself off and looked around. This place was not like anywhere I had been before. […]
