&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
See one day in history, that no one
ever told me about, but somehow I remember, there was once a writer. Famous and
now dead. Long dead. They decided to create things. People. Off those so
influential, they the word be a better place. Yet somehow missed something.
They missed these bubblegum creatures. Small in stature. They looked like
cartoons, I don’t know what a cartoon is, there is just something so animated
about them. They were giggling and smiling. Things I rarely see in town. In my
town grey and dull, in my town lost and sad. There was something missing and in
the midst of it all there was remnants of what we lost. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In the corner of their bubblegumed
house there was a tv.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-TERRORISM&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+Terror&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-EVERYWHERE&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+These people who have mistakes in their genes are taking
our&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-FREEDOM&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+Falling into myths of the past &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-MUST BE STOPPED&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+They are creating things and &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-CAUSING TERROR &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+They are soliciting in activities like love and procreation&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-TAKING OUR DREAMS&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+ Remembering what life was like before our freedom&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-TAKING OUR FREEDOM&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
+These people must be stopped before their curiosity &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
-GIVES US DOOM&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
All I could hear was fear. The TV main
purpose in everything was to keep inflicting fear in the hearts of my people.
The little bubblegums laughed and sand. Nothing could bother their intense joy.
Not even the stranger that was watching, judging and I. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
They were worriless.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I was jealous. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The TV usually kept off in my box. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Fear inside me, because I feared I was
the one they were talking about. The one causing terror. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But those bubblegums,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They
did not care.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But they, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They
were not bothered. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But I, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wanted
what that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But I, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Was
nothing. Nothing compared to them.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;1&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;There
was a confusing air passing through. Like it smelled bad but you couldn&#39;t catch
on to what the smell was. I was just sitting there, in the corner, analyzing,
discreetly, the possible things that could be creating that smell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Maybe it&#39;s a dead animal? But it smells too
sweet. Maybe it&#39;s a rotten rat that had raided a candy shop the night before it
had died? That actually seems probable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Them I see it, it&#39;s not a rat all, it’s a
fucking human. I think it&#39;s a human his or her or its skin was too pink, like
bubble gum pink, and the skin was dripping off as though it had been sitting on
a tropical beach for hours and hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;I was still sitting there, but I was in awe of
what I was seeing. I didn&#39;t understand. We were not even near a beach or
anything like that. We were in the middle of the world. Like the city in the
direct center. Not like the core of the world that would be reasonable due to
the things skin. He or she or it started to drift away down the street. I was too
curious to just let it go. So I followed. I needed to know what and why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;I didn&#39;t know what I meant or why I cared but I
did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The thing entered a door, at the end of
a dead end street, which was covered bats which is strange, because I had never
ever seen a bat before. So how on earth did I know it was a bat? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But I knew.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Somehow I knew, and I was not afraid. I
kept going. I following whatever this thing was into a dark hooded house
surrounded by broken dreams of the kind hearted. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The thing was I was always afraid, so
why was I not afraid now?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
There was something reassuring in that
melted pink face, something beautiful, and lost. Broken in fact. As though this
thing had gone through something to me, a broken and lost person, who found joy
in making fun of the world. It was like all the crap, and broken hearts I had
received meant nothing but humor to me. I was able to find a smile in the worst
of situations. This made life bittersweet, because I was not only broken, but
hiding behind a shield of humor. This pink bubblegum being knew how I felt I
could tell by the broken, or melted, smirk on its face. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I didn’t stop after it went through the
door. I waited a minute, and checked if it was locked, and of course it was
not. It was like the thing had wanted me to follow it. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
On this planet filled of things I don’t
really understand. Where my knowledge exceeds my own understanding. I wondered
what awaited me behind this door. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Was it love? No that’s a stupid thing
to even think about, love does come unexpected like this monster thing thing,
but when it comes you know, but you don’t understand. Or maybe you do
understand, I would not fucking now. I currently think I am in love, but how
does one know. Is it the excitement that you get when you talk to that person?
The silence you can withhold while being around this person? Is it the thoughts
that carry out while you’re not with or talking to this person? Is it the
calmness you achieve just by listening to their voice? I don’t know, but I
think I am stalling. I am honestly afraid, not only of being in love, of what
stands between me and this door. Of what stands behind this door. What if it’s
the end of me? What if because I entered this door I never know whether I am in
love or not? What if I am just fucking stalling because I can’t stop thinking
of these impossible things that don’t make sense because I am of afraid of so
much and my fear is barely hitting in?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I think I do love him. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Fuck.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I hate this shit so much, like why is
there so many stories about this when it fucking sucks. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Fuck it, I say. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Fuck it as hard as I can fuck it, and
then I open the door. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
2&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Behind it. There was nothing. Not even
a bubble gum person. Just nothing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I realized my worries were nothing as
well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
2.0&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Behind the door there was bubble gum of all flavors. Little
bubble gum people singing songs of those broken dreams those teenagers used to
have. Dreams of musicians they would marry. Dreams of futures they would have.
Dreams of love they could never get. Every crush that crushed them. Every hope
that broke them. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I slowly walked in, trying not to step on anything sticky or
chewy or lost. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I knew there was something up. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I knew there was something lost. Maybe in myself. Maybe in
these, alien sort things. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Maybe they were martians. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Maybe they were cyborgs. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Imaginary friends of those lost hopes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Crushed crushes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Lost dreams. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Maybe they were formed from my own imagination. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Maybe they were lost friends I thought I forgot. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In my world of ketchup fingers and buttercup hearts. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I didn’t know what to think. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I wasn’t trained to really think. I trained to not think at
all. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I was trained to believe in religion. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
And not be myself. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Of course I rebelled, like most. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
And of like none. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I wanted to speak, but I was not even trained to do that. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I knew how to speak.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I think. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I knew how to walk, but I could hardly even do that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I was a copycat in an original world filled of unoriginal
things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It needed one.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Hey, do you guys mind if I smoke as we walk?” I asked.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Some of them stared at me like WTF no?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;But Steph nodded in approval, and asked to join. So did Joey. He always smoked along with me. He and Steph were my smoke buddies. They were the only ones that actually approved. Kitty did not care, but she would never try one. It was not her thing. She was too much of a goody two shoes. I used to be a goody two shoes, when I still had a God. When I used to pray everynight. “Please God, don’t let anything baad happen to my family, my friends, my pets, and everything I care for,” is what I used to say. Sometimes when I was really scared I still said it. This reminded me of my parents. Of their preiching. Of how my father goes to church twice a week: once for himself, and once to makeup for me not going. He was afraid of me going to Hell. He was afraid of himself going to Hell. My whole family was afraid. That’s why they still believed. It was there ticket to heaven. It was there ticket to a longer life. A happier life. But what was my ticket? I did not need a ticket. I had my own faith. Faith in myself, and faith in the world. Though it was awful. Dreadful at times. But I still kept faith. I had to. It’s the reason I never called myself an athiest. I couldn’t. After years of believing something sticked. Believing in something stuck. Let it be myself, the world, or superstitions. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;I kept thinking about what they qwere talking about. The clown. The suicides. I felt like everyone who had died in htat forest was watching us. I felt like the Clown was waiting for us. He had to be. But part of knew none of this made sense. How could they be watching us? How could he be real? How could he still be alive? How could I be so foolish to believe? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;But sometimes faith attacks you. You believe the foolish, because something inside you forces you. Something inside of you pulls you in. Just like the forest was pulling me in. I believed in the forest. I knew it was there, but that’s different. That’s realism. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Let nothing bad happen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Please let nothing bad happen. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/feeds/1533756706555443160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394688357227182732/posts/default/1533756706555443160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394688357227182732/posts/default/1533756706555443160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-2.html' title='Chapter 2'/><author><name>Erika Delgado</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06863001752881056606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXudhdCMn6QqsPWhquakmRhXrYkcUakm7FDgI94Bn-YiIvBbdYIV18qDyr7kBD2nnryq6zJQQHnDqfQ-EjMds2DkfDvyeV7SJ8NS3UwrUcuEA0go_jyJsGmX18LKQFOc/s220/3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394688357227182732.post-4259077109725524059</id><published>2011-10-14T18:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T18:48:39.512-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fiction"/><title type='text'>Chapter 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpFirst&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align:center;line-height: 200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Here I stand, ready to embark on a somewhat rivetting adventure.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But it’s cold. Really fucking cold. There’s a frightening breeze that sounds like a screech. It feels harsh, but somehow soothing. There’s a bristle in the trees that reminds me that that is my future. Those trees will soon be my home. They will surround me, and they will save me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I am just standing, no movement needed.Waiting for something. Anything. Not saying a word, but my friends, they are loud. They are screaming, not like monkeys, but more like lost souls, telling me random things. Like how there has been murders in those trees. Someone says that the trees are alive, and that they will snatch you as soon as you stand on their turf. They tell the story of the suicides that go down in the forest. About the thousands of people that just come to this same forest to die. How back in the 1800’s people would desert their dying family members there. They talk about the myth of Circus Andy, a clown that came to town during a festival back in the 20’s. One day he was being laughed at by some kids, and for some reason he went mad. Just went stabbing along, as though clowns are not meant to be laughed at. They say how he ran away into a abondoned cabin in the forest, and lives there to this very day. And when he hears laughter he comes back out to stab again. Which does not make much sense, because if they knew where he was wouldn’t they have caught him? Then again the cops are pretty stupid in this town of Saintsville. They rarely catch anyone, but not much happens here. Only a ton of suicides, that echo in the streets. They repeat multiple times that Saintsville has the most suicides in the country. But me: Silence. I am listening to them, but honestrly trying to ignore them, because all their doing is freaking me more out. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I am trying to listen to the things around me. To the bristling trees that remind me of the sounds crowds make at concerts. Swaying. Slowly. Feels like a dream. Not one of those trippy wtf is going on dreams, but one of those perfect dreams where everything just fits. Almost like it’s reality, but it’s so much better. Then there is the grass below my size 8 feet. This green and slightly oramge grass that reminds you that fall is near. They make a squishy sound. God, they even feel squishy. Squishy. Squishy. Squishy grass. It feels like it rained in the near past. I begin to sway like the trees. Like the crowds at the concerts. My friends begin to make fun of me. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Why are you just standing there?” Says Stephanie, whom is my best friend since kindergarten. She is model pretty, tall, thin, long wavy blonde hair, and doll faced. Always being told she looks like Allison Harvard, but really they are total oppostites. She’s a little strange, and little slutty, but I love her. Dressing in black jean short shorts that barely cover her ass, black tights, and a striped tank top. Even in this weather she dresses as though it is summer, but in her mesh backpack she failed at hiding a jacket. Everyone was wearing stripes. It was the theme of the day. Done especially so we would not get lost. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Have you forgotten how to talk?” says Joey with his to his shoulders black hair. His eyes were large and green, and he was sweet. I secretly had a crush on him, and apparently he secretly had one on me, but we did nothing about it. We were too scared, but I planned to make my move of this very adventure. But my head was telling me no, yet my heart was telling me go. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Remember it’s just one syllable at a time” says George with his hands in my face. George was a chubby boy. Loved his pizza, but all of us loved pizza. Pizza was the thing. We worshiped it. We call our group of 6 pizzatarians. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Then some sounds” says Ezra moving his hands in a mystical jazz hand menover. Ezra was a muscian, and always brought is vintage guitar from the 60’s along. It was signed by Lou Reed. Now he worshiped Lou Reed.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Well Lou and pizza. Ezra has short curly hair, and dressed as though he was from the 60’s. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“And then, all of the sudden,”says Jane, a great silence followed and then loudly and out of the blue, “WORDS.” Jane was a tad punk. You know as punk as you can get in 2011. Which isn’t very punk. I like believe punk died after the 80’s, but she would crucify me if I told her. Her favorite bands include: The Ramones, Violent Femmes, and Nirvana. She has short horizontal black hair, and always wore red lipstick. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Ha,” I say still standing there, “don’t worry about me.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“That’s hard,” said the final friend Kitty. Kitty is not her real name, but she does love cats. Like really loves cats. She has five: Cat Stevens, Luna, Salem, Moodshadow, and Daria. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“That’s what she said,” I say, smirking. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Ha ha, but really,” she says with a stern serious face, as though we were not just joking around a minute ago. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Yeah, we worry a lot,” says Steph widening her eyes.. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Like about this grass,” says Jane looking at the grass as though it was the enemy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Yeah, it’s so squishy,” says Joey tapping his feet..&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“It might just ruin my shoes,” says Ezra looking at his feet.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Oh no, not your 50 dollar shoes,” says Kitty in the most scarcastic tone of voice you can imagine. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I sniffle. Trying to remember if I brought clinex or not. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“It might just all be a lie,” says Steph&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“We might just fall into nothingness,” says Joey in a very soft tone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Everything is nothingness,” I say looking at the grass.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;           &lt;/span&gt;“Ooh deep, ” says Ezra doing that hand thing again. He does it a lot. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;“Deeper than the darkness that awaits us in that forest,” says Jane.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I smirk. Remember I did bring some clinex. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I love my friends. They always force me out of my comfort zone. Just the other week they forced me to go to a club. Most bazarre thing ever. I danced, yes, but I did not know what I was doing.I felt like a bafoon, and probably looked like one. I even tried dancing with Joey, but we both got so nervous that it just turned into Twilight Zone. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I begin to sneeze, a deep relaxing, but distraughting sneese. They all look at me. The trees shift. The grass shuffles. And my friends laugh. Then there are even birds, flying, but still noticing everything I do. The way I breath deeply and athsmatic. As though it’s the last breath I will ever have. Who knows, it might just be. They notice the way my hair shines green in the light, and slowly ruffles. With those few frizzy strands blowing in the breeze. My feet unable to stop moving, because I am nervous. I am scared. I am impatient. You can see it on my skin. My face. My bones. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;My face is squinting, my mouth is slightly opened, and my nose is in distress. Allergies. Evil and wretchid allerigies. I should have taken my medicine, but I worried that taking it would waste my time. We begin to slowly shift. I move last. Wait for them to be infront of me. I just follow. Like a lost dog. One thick leg in front of the other. “Time for adventure,” is all I can think. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/feeds/4259077109725524059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394688357227182732/posts/default/4259077109725524059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7394688357227182732/posts/default/4259077109725524059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edacevis.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-1.html' title='Chapter 1'/><author><name>Erika Delgado</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06863001752881056606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXudhdCMn6QqsPWhquakmRhXrYkcUakm7FDgI94Bn-YiIvBbdYIV18qDyr7kBD2nnryq6zJQQHnDqfQ-EjMds2DkfDvyeV7SJ8NS3UwrUcuEA0go_jyJsGmX18LKQFOc/s220/3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394688357227182732.post-4296004125686867805</id><published>2011-10-14T18:47:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T20:03:22.325-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fiction"/><title type='text'>Prologue</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpFirst&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align:center;text-indent: .5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; &quot;&gt;Today I am parched, and everything is moving slowly. I am sitting in my bright green room, that is covered with vintage posters of bands like The Velvet Underground, Janis Joplin, and not so vintage Bright Eyes. My desk is cluttered with empty green tea bottles, and blank papers. Some papers have pictures of cats on them, and there is even a few filled out applications that I have been too freaked to turn in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Yesterday was another glim day for me, but somr what exciting. I was through the tree filled streets. Took a right turn of Mathew’s Street into the appartment filled streets that are covered in ancient cars, all for sale. Took a left by the bowling ally, and another right on El Romano walked straight past the grave yard, that only reminds me how short life really is. And another right when I got to the mall. There I walked through all the starbucks, and chinese retaurants and companies until I passed Best Sale and got to the Beauty Store. Bought bleach, and a few cans of blue hair dye. And walked straight back home. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I attempted to dye my hair blue, and that did not work. I bleached it for too short of a time, and it looks green.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Well, fuck it I like it. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Another, fuck it situation. This summer I liked a guy, a lot. Like a lot a lot. I did nothing about it, but I’ve liked him for 6 years. Since high school. I am now in college. Saintsville college. HORRIBLE COLLEGE. Classes are huge, like 700 people per class. I never have had a single conversation with a single of my teachers. I don’t even think they know who I am, but one at least. One teacher that loved me. He told me I was a wonderful writer. Always wrote the best notes on my stories. He made me realize I was a good writer. He made me realize that all the people in high school that thought I sucked were wrong. He gave me confidence. I love that guy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Today I am supposed to go camping with my best friends. CAMPING. ME. BAD IDEA. I hate the outdoors, but at the same time I kind of love it. I would probably like it more if it had internet conection. I respect nature. In a world without God, you learn to. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;The other day I had a conversation with my parents about God, it did not go well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“GOD, GOD IS EVERYTHING,” they said. They then began preaching to me reasons why I should believe in God.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Without God the sky is darker,’ my mother said with a crooked dark smile.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Without God life is shorter” my father said breathing deeply through his smoke infested lungs. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Without God life is grimmer,” my mother said while glarring at my Grateful Dead poster.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Without God there is no soul,” said my father said as a tiny piece of hair fell from his already bald head.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;“Without God your soul is sad,” said my mother as though she did not hear the last comment. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Why would my soul be happier if I believed in God? But what is a soul, no one can give me a real answer. They just say it’s something we all have. Something that makes us us, and controls us. I personally always thought that was our brain, but whatever. But God, idk. I just think that God is something they need so they can have faith in something, but I don’t need a God, because I have faith in myself. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;I don’t really know where I am going with this, I just know I want to write. That’s it. I want to write. So I am bringing this journal with me to this camping adventure so I can write about everything that happens around me. Like how write now I am just in my room, sitting, writing, doing nothing but that. Well thinking, a lot. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormalCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span
