2:00 Terrell Lawson

He promised to kill me at 2 AM. The demon in my room. I didn’t believe him and that made him mad, He growled and snarled “Soon.” I turned around and looked at the clock. It read 1:31. I looked back at the foot of my bed but now the demon was gone. I bundled up under the covers and tried to forget what I saw. Until I felt a hand on my shoulder; I turned and saw a claw. I jumped up out of my covers and stood on top of my bed. The claws were gone but shadows were screaming, “Dead, Dead, DEAD!” The walls began to spin around, my room became a blur. I almost screamed out for my mom but she would kill me first. My clothes were full of sweat, I couldn't take it anymore. I glanced back at the clock again, It read 1:44. My window opened up a bit, I felt a breeze of wind. Whispers, cries, thousands of eyes, I begged for it to end. The mind is such a scary thing; it felt so real to me. I said my prayers and watched the clock.

Go from 1:59 to 3:00.

Thunderstorms Anayanci Sanchez

I could never really describe the way thunderstorms made me feel - It is a strange experience. At first,

as the wind starts rising and getting stronger, I feel it inside me. Everything growing bigger and building up. Then the sirens,

as a warning that soon, there will be an explosion. And it begins. Lightning strikes

and thunder falls just a few seconds behind. All in the meanwhile, giant droplets fill the isolated streets of my skin. In the end all that is left, is the petrichor of the rain.

Remember Me Anayanci Sanchez

When we grow old together, I want you to have every part of me memorized. The way I like my coffee How I wear my favorite sweater How I style my hair Know me like the palm of your hand Even if you don’t know it all too well. Because I don’t even know mine. But I want you to know every part of me. Because we will grow old together and I will forget. So listen when I tell you Memorize every part of me. The scent of my hair. They way I can’t sit still while watching t.v. Remember the constellation of freckles, sitting on the right side of my hips. Remember me.
