But everyone forgot about Alicia Park.She saw nightmares of faceless policemen with guns in their hands. They all surrounded her father and asked him to drop his gun. But it wasn't a gun. He argued with them, and then the shot came. A loud BANG in the silent night was heard. And one man was no more.She woke up with a start, knowing her father had to be there. He had to comfort her.

The train pulls into the station, sputtering steam as it chugs along. A silent shuffling crowd fills it, mostly children being sent away. The year is 1940. A terrified mother ties tags around her daughter's neck. "Remember. You are just a girl. Don't speak back, and know that I love you." The girl's eyes are brimming with tears as the suitcase with her whole life is handed to her. But she couldn't pack her mother's hugs.

Shocked, I realized what happened. The open window was bringing in more than just a soothing breeze, it was bringing in a blizzard! With a shiver I ran to the window and shut it.

“teenage sleuth” by Ray Everblaze

I walked up the stairs, my hands trembling with fear. I opened the creaky door to our apartment, shuddering at the large noise in the desolate hallway. It seemed as if the whole world was asleep. I crept into my apartment, feeling like a criminal in my own home. I guess I was.my father didn’t accept me in his home. He hated me, despised my existence. I hated him back, but o never could really. Because it was never my fault that he was broken. The only person who could fix him was the one who broke him, the one who never would have even wante...
