Desk,
And Bree fighting last night? We weren’t fighting, I said. We were arguing. Loud argument. Passionate subject, I said. And Bree’s under a lot of pressure from the top brass to make something happen, s...
You’ve already seen what I look like, so you can probably guess which one I chose. As soon as I got to homeroom, I went straight for the back row and sat as far from the teacher’s desk as possible. Th...
They were my parents. Dead. They died in their bed under freakish circumstances three months ago, leaving my brothers and me devastated and bankrupt.
There's a saying I remember from my grandmother: One today is worth two tomorrows.
Thank you for inviting me here today I said my voice sounding nothing like me. I'm here to testify about things I've seen and experienced myself. I'm here because the human race has become more power...
Suddenly, the only thing I could hear in my head was the voice of then-senator Howard Baker during the Watergate hearings, asking one of the most famous—if not the most famous—political questions of a...
Sighing, she gave a brief nod. I was supposed to win. I was supposed to finish you off. They never counted on you winning. And then you didn’t kill me. It was awful.You’re welcome, I said, feeling fre...
Please, I begged silently, please do not let my last moments on earth be me crammed into a tiny boat in the dark, surrounded by mechanical singing pirates.
On a good day, she - as funny and loud, as effervescent as a glass of Champagne; on a bad day she was like Napoleon with lipstick and PMS.

Most people will live their entire lives believing they know exactly who they are and what they’re capable of. But that’s only because most people will never have to find out for real.

Mom said. I’m proud of you, honey. You must be doing something right. Whatever it is, just keep doing it. Oh, I will, I told her, just before I shoved some more scrambled eggs into my big fat not-quit...
Mom and Bear got into a big fight that afternoon when she told him what had happened. He kept yelling about how she wasn’t hard enough on me, and she kept telling him to back off. I just stayed in my...
