“The Davy Romano Case” by Oshin Wong

Submitted to Contest #70

I will never forget the day Emma Patterson went missing in Lake Side County. It sent a wave of chaos throughout the small community, but no one’s life was turned upside down like that of Davy Romano. I’ve been a cop for fourteenth years and this job, it never gets easier. It was a Friday night when I got the call; I was working the grave yard shift on patrol with my partner Benny.

“Unanswered Prayers ” by Oshin Wong

Submitted to Contest #70

When you pray at night what do you ask forgiveness for? I was 17 years old when I made the worst mistake of my life. I was young stupid and naïve, just a dumb kid who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. I remember it like it was just yesterday. I was high that night, tweaking out of my mind but like an all too familiar itch, I needed more to quench the fire that was burring inside me. I had no money so I had to think fast, I made a split second decision that would haunt me forever. Growing up in foster care I was always abused by other ...

“Family Matters” by Oshin Wong

When I was 5 years old my dad walked out on us, people thought I was too young to understand what was going but I was a kid not blind. It was obvious that I woke up to dad being more absent than usual, he wasn't at the table for breakfast or dinner and he wasn't there to tuck me in at night. For a long time I blamed my mom for my dad leaving and because of that we never really got along. Things escalated when she got remarried when I was 12. I hated John, he honestly wasn't a bad guy now that I think about it but I just c...

“Never Apologize for Living your Dream” by Oshin Wong

Submitted to Contest #69

My parents had scarified everything for my little sister and me when we came to America. They abandoned their friends and family just so we could have a chance at a better life. I will always look up to my parents; they are the best people I know. However today I feel like I will be taking their sacrifice and hard work and throwing it back in their face. It was never my intention to walk away from the family business but as time went on I found other interest and other passions. There was so much more to the big city than working in a loca...
