“A Journey to the Past” by Melinda Madrigal

The movie starts of the past were glamorous, from the dresses they wore to the makeup they used. 1910-1960 ...

I remember like it was yesterday. The memories of that horrible day does not fade with each passing day, the memories get stronger. I maybe old, but my memory is youthful.

“Nika's Bravery” by Melinda Madrigal

I never expected this to happen. I never intended for this to happen. I did what any normal person would do. But yet it is happening, the whole town is here. I don't want the recognition nor do I need it. I'm a simple person who did something others would do. But nobody did anything. I was there and saw what happened. Yet others were there as well and did nothing to help.
