We humans often consider ourselves to be apex predators, invincible thanks to our superior intelligence. Somewhere deep within our subconscious, there is an ever present awareness of danger, but it’s easier to ignore the notion. Thus, "the world is stable and life is secure" isn’t an unreasonable conclusion. At age twelve, I was living in this state of mind, content with not having to face the fragility of my existence, when I picked up Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone. The title page boasted that it was “a terrifying true story”.
It was a gray day. The sun did not shine; it could not pierce the layers of powdery black skies along with the fog. The thick mist that was not really rain, or fog covered the southeastern corner of New Jersey. It was depressing, just like most days in the area surrounding the Overbrook Asylum. On the outside, Overbrook was a welcoming place where patients were treated with care along with respect; the inside was very different.
In 2012 I survived Hurricane Sandy. Since I just started first grade I was scared, especially when the electricity went out. We didn’t have electricity for 8 days. It was very hard for us because it was the first time going through a situation like this. But we kept on trying.
Fort Fear: A Story of Family and Bravery I set my foot one step inside the hallway. Had I gone crazy? The air was musty, the path was dark, and everything was ancient. Did I dare?
Ever since she had muttered at me, I felt different. I’ve been doing things for other people that I normally wouldn’t. Whatever anyone says I have this urge to do it. Like yesterday when Marlana asked me to go and buy her some food. So I got up, drove to Malden and bought some food for her, then went back and gave it to Marlana.
Candy wrappers were in the floor, old water bottles still in the cupholders, and jackets, basketballs, and bags piled in the back. It didn’t matter though because we were about to have the time of our lives. The first hour was boring as always. It was boring mostly because there was no new roads to drive or sights to see. It was along first hour, too.
Take, fill, write, hand. The routine stuck in my head from repeating it so many times. As I start wiping the counter and closing out the register, the little bell rings above the door. Looking up towards the sound, I see a blond head of hair making his way to the furthest table in the corner of the shop.
We got in line and waited to buy our lift tickets. We got the tickets then headed outside, grabbed our boards off the rack and headed back inside
I could barely stay seated since I was so ecstatic. After we got there we had to go through security line, the line was pretty short, but I still didn’t like
Make sure to take a book as well,” is what my mom had said to the both of us. We made a tiny list of what we were going to take with us, which was really just our phones, 3DS, and a book that I can’t quite remember the title. It wasn’t long until the day came when we were scheduled to fly to Madrid, Spain. We grabbed our bags and packed them into the car, with a bit of arguing from my brother and I, and we were off. Our destination, the airport.
I didn’t expect to see so many people waiting for me. I saw the banners and their expressions. I got in the hall about 10 minutes after we arrived due thanking people for voting me.

Almost any pubescent twelve year-old would’ve enjoyed the sight (or at least, that’s what my father’s question suggested). “Do you want it?”
I had watched my mama for a moment as she paused and thought deeply about what she’d just said to me. I even thought for a second that she might have been reminiscing about her childhood. Growing up around here and all the tough times she must have had with some of the people who ultimately caused her to want to run away.
