The thing about this city

   That's the thing about this city, cars are always honking, sirens blaring, people yelling and cursing. It's just another day in the city. Never is there a second of peace. Apartments cost twice the amount of houses in the country yet twice as cramped. That's just life I guess. Never as relaxing as they say. Even though there are many different negatives to focus on there's experience gained from it. Throughout my time I have learned to study, study people. People are an interesting group. The more you think you know about them the more you get surprised. The city might be full of chaos but it gives me the chance to learn about what I love. Every challenge gives me a view of how others react. Water being splashed on might seem like a very big inconvenience to many, but you would be surprised by the way others react. Some might yell or pitch a fit while others just wipe it off and continue on their day like nothing happened. The city gives me the wonders of life brought to you by many different kinds of people. Not only people actually, but it tells me about life. How some things might seem worthless to some animals, while its treasure to others. A janitor might find it annoying to have crumbs on the ground while a pigeon loves it. It’s free food! You can learn alot during all the time you spend in this city. The biggest problem you can face is not even looking up to watch. Most that I see lower their heads as they walk and miss the beauties of life. If you are feeling on the negative side the city gives you the creep sometimes. As you might walk past a shop or office you can just feel as if there is something watching you. Following you. Never leaving you alone. The city has its wonders but also its secrets. Throughout my time watching I have noticed there is a surprising amount of secrecy going around. Might just be someone nervous about everything around them or others who seem on the edge of a breakdown. The city gives me many to think about everyday. There are more stories than I can remember. The city sometimes wants you to notice the suspicious activities other times they want you to feel perfectly fine like nothing is wrong with the world. So I warn you. Watch out in the city. There are things that scare me from time to time. I have told you of so many wonders of the city but that was just so I don‘t scare you away. Recently there have been vanishings. My best friend went out for ice cream a few weeks ago, and never came back. People have been spreading rumors that there is something more than what meets the eye and that anyone who tries to say otherwise disappears to never be seen again. My parents say nothing is wrong and that everything is as it should be. But I don’t believe them. There is something going on. It needs to be fixed. Soon, before it gets worse. Honestly, I can’t see how it can. I tried the other day to find out some information but that’s when I realized. Something or someone is watching my ever move. Waiting until I say or do something to make it alert. I have tried to tell my parents on several cases but every time I say something is wrong in the city they stop what they are doing and stare at me. Then they say together “No, everything is fine. We are happy.” Then they just go on like nothin happened. So, again I say something is wrong here. Everyday something worse and worse happens. A ten car pile up Monday, then on Tuesday a mass murderer. It might seem like it’s not terrible stuff but I swear, it’s going to get worse. I haven’t seen my friend in over two weeks. My friend was the kindest person I have ever known so who would take her? What on Earth happened? Even stranger, why are her parents not even worried at all. It feels like the closer and closer I get to finding out the truth the more eyes I feel watching me. more and more people are vanishing, leaving to go somewhere but never coming back home. Yet no one is talking about it. It has only started in the past month. What happened last month that started all this? I need to know. Everyone seems to be keeping a secret these days. At school I feel like the odd one out. Like everyone else fits in but I don’t. Everyone else looks so happy and chirpy while I feel like I am being torn from the inside out trying to figure out what is going on. Does no one realize that something is wrong? The other day I asked a teacher, “ Is there something going on in the city? People seem to be disappearing.” The teacher just looked at me confused and went back to the lesson. She did not even answer the question! Things have gotten so weird in the past few days that I do not even know if the things I am saying are real or not. Maybe I am just imagining the whole thing. Or something is actually wrong with the city. Please help me. I can not tell what’s right or wrong anymore. What’s the truth or a lie. I need answers, and my pathetic search for answer did not answer any. It only led to more questions. I need to search harder, harder than I have been. If I do not respond back within the next few days. I found the answer, and it was not a good one. The one that I am dreading the mos. please hope that it doesn’t turn out to be that. But if it is know that something needs to be done. This has gone too far. Help us.
