Michael It was the first day of my high school experience, and I had been in Switzerland with my grandparents for two weeks. Everyone had been to orientation, but I had missed it. I had no idea where any of my classes were. The day went on, but I didn't feel very comfortable. I went to my...

THEY It was a cold dark day upon the hill of the house where he slept in hell and dreamed in fire. But the only relief was the sound of his WWII records. It soothed him. He couldn't breathe without the sound of the music to his ears, and without the sound of the slow scratch before and af...

I've owned a tiny futon store in a small mall in the downtown area of a rather bantam city. This little hole in the wall had been my peaceful, get-away for nearly ten years. I rarely received attention from tourists, let alone the other business owners. I didn't bother anyone, and no one really...
