Jerrica Stephens: A Short Story

162 Words1 Page

Jerrica Stephens sighed from the back seat of her old Jeep as it lurched sideways on the abandoned dirt road. She juggled an advance anatomy book on her lap, trying to get a jump start on her last year as a medical student at John Hopkins. Bile churned in her stomach, irritating the ulcer that was her reward for being top in her class. She reached down into the floorboard and pulled up her massive medical bag and searched for her medicine. Her fingers brushed over the small bottle of vodka tucked away in the bottom. For a moment, she could almost taste the hot, bitter poison filling her mouth, washing her troubles away, if only for a little while. She zipped her bag back up, fighting the urge.

  • Yvonne Allen's Narrative

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yvonne Allen does not have any right to wear her headscarf in her licence photo due to the security issues it would create. She believes that her rights are being infringed upon, but doesn't realize that a licence is a privilege not a right. It is hard to argue this fact when it says literally nowhere in any law or precedent that any U.S. citizen has any right to a licence.
