Aztecs support movement against racial profiling campus Tara Millspaugh News Editor

Arturo Garcia Staff Writer

San Diego State students rallied in solidarity to show their support against alleged racial profiling toward some University of Southern California students.

Late Saturday night, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a noise complaint coming from a party half a mile from USC. The noise complaint called for more than 70 LAPD officers.

Some arrived at the house party in full riot gear with batons, shields and masks, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Partygoers were primarily black and Latino students. The host, Nate Howard, said the intent of the party was to celebrate his four years at USC and to network.

“We had fun,” Howard told CBS Los Angeles. “We’re graduating, and we were having a good time. It was the last day of classes. We had sponsors here.”

Howard said he was arrested because of his race and that another party across the street with primarily Caucasian guests remained undisturbed.

An LAPD watch commander confirmed with CBS Los Angeles that the department did receive a noise complaint and said when

officers arrived on the scene, the students refused to leave, and threw beer bottles at the officers.

Additional LAPD officers responded to an “officer needs help” call. Security from USC’s public safety department also arrived.

The LA Times reported that six people were arrested and one officer was injured that night.

Former San Diego State Afrikan Student Union President and Associated Students Executive Vice President Channelle McNutt encouraged students to attend a forum about racial profiling on Tuesday at USC. “Everyone was passionate regardless of race and class because this is more than that,” McNutt said. “This is a human issue—and we needed a collaborative community to move forward with action.”

McNutt and 19 SDSU students drove to LA to show their support at the forum, but McNutt said the room had reached capacity and no more students were allowed in.

But efforts of SDSU students haven’t stopped there. SDSU’s National Association of the Advancement of Colored People President and psychology junior Esther Are gathered a group of students to wear black clothing and take a picture in front of Hepner Hall. They will post the picture on social media sites to

show support for the movement to reduce racial profiling on college campuses. The hashtag that is trending to support the cause is #USchangemovement.

“We want to bring our community close together because there is a divide within our community, especially on our campus,” Are said. “Doing this, supporting the other campuses, will hopefully help us support one another on (our) campus.”

Last month, an incident at UC Irvine also received backlash for its racial profiling. Members of the Lambda Theta Delta fraternity posted a Youtube parody of the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z song “Suit and Tie.” One of the fraternity members painted his face black, which upset the community.

SDSU’s A.S. Diversity Commissioner Washington Navarrete said all these incidents fueled the

multi-campus movement.

“The main thing this movement wants to do is raise awareness of the realities that students of color face in universities,” Navarrete said. “Students of color have a different reality at campuses like UCI and USC—these students are facing harsh realities of discrimination.”

Graduating editors say goodbye and thank you Tara Millspaugh News Editor

I didn’t think I would ever have the chance to be called an “editor.” I’m not the strongest writer and I still make grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, but my writers have trusted and respected me.

This job isn’t easy. I wanted to pull my hair out and give up within the first few months, but something kept me going. Watching and helping my writers grow into journalists is one thing I’ll

Stacey Oparnica Senior Staff Writer

It’s kind of funny, actually.

I look back on the past four years and I can’t seem to remember how eight semesters managed to sneak by me so quickly. At the same time, I feel like 10 years worth of experiences managed to squeeze themselves in, too—by far the best being my three years at The Daily Aztec. I’ve had some great times here. I distinctly remember sharing what felt like a cubicle with my roommate, Ashley, in the Olmeca Residence Hall

never forget. The news section is always a good place to start out for newbies. Sometimes their articles start out terribly, but there is always potential.

The news section is its own demon. My section needed to have enough content for the first two pages of every newspaper this year. That meant we needed at least four to five articles per day—20 articles a week. That’s a lot of articles! But our team managed it. There were a few times when stories wouldn’t come in on time and I didn’t have the energy

to write the article. However, if I hadn’t done it, there would’ve been a blank space on the frontpage. Knowing the newspaper and a team of 40 was depending on me made me always work hard.

Anyone can write, but it takes a certain kind of person to be a journalist. For those writers who stuck through my weekly meetings, millions of emails and constructive criticism, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve learned more from you than you’ve learned from me.

I have to thank Assistant News Editor Ana Ceballos for being my wingwoman throughout all the craziness. I could depend on her for writing deadline stories, handling meetings or just for the occasional rant when I was about to explode. She wasn’t an assistant; she was an equal, and above all, a friend.

I never made many friends throughout college, mostly acquaintances. But, coming into the newsroom and working with the team to troubleshoot all of the possible problems, there is

during our freshman year, and sleeping with the lights on after watching the midnight premiere of “Paranormal Activity.” That same year, my diet consisted primarily of microwaveable burritos, hot fries and enough sunflower seeds to dent my front tooth. At least I managed to avoid the renown ramen college diet.

Of course, I’ve made some mistakes. I slept through one final, lost a few friends and, at one point, racked up more than $15 in late library book fees.

But I made dean’s list on several occasions, passed the gram-

mar, spelling, punctuation test on my first try, learned a hell of a lot about everything from astronomy to social media, and was inspired by some of the university’s most open-minded and creative peers, lecturers and professors.

I also developed an obsession with memes. I made incredible, seriously hilarious friends. I fell in love.

The truth is, I am encompassed by a swell of emotions. On one hand, I am so ready to study for my last final ever. I’m excited to throw my cap in the air and am extremely grateful to have a job

waiting for me after graduation.

But I am also lost; lost because I’ve loved every minute of being a student—even the truly horrible and stressful parts—and I’m not sure how to cope with not being one anymore.

But whether I’m ready or not, here life comes. So here’s to my last day as a member of The Daily Aztec family. Here’s to four years as an Aztec, which are forever embedded in my heart.

But most of all, here’s to you SDSU students who still have a little time left. I hope it’s every-

absolutely no way that you won’t leave as either friends or enemies.

Luckily, I can call all the editors my great friends and I know they will each make an impact in the journalism world one day.

This newspaper has singlehandedly developed me as a journalist. It wasn’t classes or textbooks, it was being in the environment and learning among the other editors. With that, farewell and thank you. Hopefully you’ll see me on TV one day.

Paige Nelson Photo Editor

Honestly, San Diego State didn’t feel like home to me until I found The Daily Aztec. I was a lost little freshman looking for a place to belong and finally found solitude within the fortress of cubicles in the basement, located on a remote part of campus. I started out as a staff photographer, doe-eyed and willing to do anything to impress my editor—even if it meant getting thrown around at a metal concert and denting a lens (yes, that really happened). I didn’t have a clue what I was getting myself into when I stepped into the photo editor position last year. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the greatest people on campus and watching them grow. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Only a true DAztec could appreciate or understand the madness that is this newspaper. I’ve met some of the best friends of my life here, and for that, I am forever thankful.

SDSU enjoys winning year from beginning to end year recap Adriana Bush

Women’s basketball The Aztecs tied a school record set in 1993-94 with 27 regular-season wins and had the second-longest winning streak in school history.

For the second year in a row, SDSU captured the outright MW regular-season championship. The Aztecs continued their success in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament up until the second round, when they lost 69-58 to BYU.

Assistant Sports Editor

San Diego State athletics has spent the past year dominating the Mountain West Conference. With sheer power and determination to win, SDSU proved it’s a mighty force in college sports. The Aztecs racked up a total of nine MWC regular-season and tournament championship titles, and there’s a possibility for that number to increase as baseball, softball and outdoor track and field athletics are still battling through their seasons.

Women’s soccer Women’s soccer has been one of SDSU’s most successful seasons in school history. This season, the Aztecs achieved their highest-ever national ranking at No. 7 and for the second time in school history, SDSU finished undefeated in league play.

However, that was only the beginning: SDSU went on to defeat the University of New Mexico 2-0 to become the 2012 MWC Tournament champions.

It wasn’t until the third round that SDSU ran out of steam and lost to the University of California, Los Angeles. The Aztecs finished with a program record of 21 victories.

Football The Aztecs claimed their 19th conference championship and first MWC title, which was shared with Boise State and Fresno State. This past season, the Aztecs rode a sevengame winning streak, their longest winning streak since 1981, to capture

their first conference title since 1998.

SDSU went on to play in its third consecutive bowl game for the first time in school history, where it ended up losing 23-6 to Brigham Young University.

Volleyball The Aztecs claimed their first-ever regular-season MWC volleyball championship with a three-set victory against the University of Nevada, Reno. However, SDSU ended up sharing the title with Colorado State.

The Aztecs had a 23-8 overall record­—the most wins for the program since 1995. SDSU received an at-large invitation to the NCAA volleyball tournament, where it ended

before falling to Florida Gulf Coast University in the third round.

Cross country SDSU placed first in the UC San Diego Opener and the Titan Invitational in Fullerton. Senior Marianne Hogan won the individual title in the Titan Invitational.

Swimming and diving For the second time in three years, the Aztecs won the MWC Championship. Afterward, SDSU sent seven Aztecs to compete in the NCAA championships.

Men’s basketball The Aztecs finished the season with an overall record of 23-11 and conference record of 9-7. SDSU was knocked out in the semifinals of the MWC Tournament by the University of New Mexico. In the NCAA tournament, the Aztecs defeated the University of Oklahoma

Indoor track and field SDSU is currently finishing up its outdoor season, but early in the year, it ranked No. 20 in the country, picked up its first ever MWC indoor track and field title and sent a few of its athletes to the NCAA championships.

Water polo The Aztecs finished the season with an overall record of 23-11 and defeated UCSD in the Harper Cup. SDSU lost the third-place match in the Big West Tournament against California State University Long Beach.

Men’s tennis Just last month, SDSU defeated the University of Nevada, Reno Wolf Pack to clinch its first MWC regularseason championship since 2007.

Women’s tennis The Aztecs also claimed their own MWC regular-season title after defeating the Falcons, for their first MWC title since 2003.

SDSU earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship and will make its 22nd NCAA appearance tomorrow against No. 19 Baylor

Outgoing editors say farewell to San Diego State

The Daily Aztec outgoing editors from left to right: Photo Editor Paige Nelson, News Editor Tara Millspaugh, Copy Editor Stacey Oparnica, Entertainment Editor Kevin Smead, Sports Editor Ryan Schuler, Features Editor Lauren Yap, Managing Editor Hutton Marshall, Copy Chief Julie Aeilts, Copy Editor Amanda Guerrero, Editor in Chief Antonio Zaragoza.

Antonio Zaragoza Editor in Chief

When I started as editor-in-chief almost a year ago to the day, I had no idea what was in store for me. I took the reins of a struggling newspaper and set out to build a team that could support me in an endeavor to completely reformat the way the newspaper operated, looked and was perceived on campus and in the community.

A year later, I can now say we have successfully reached our goals. The staff of The Daily Aztec is charged with being the caretaker of this newspaper. This year, we began a celebration of the newspaper’s centennial. That’s 100 years of reporting and cataloging the many events that took place on this campus and in our community. I tell you, valued readers, the task is immense and requires untold hours of research, writing, editing and designing to put a single issue together for delivery to you.

Each writer here is a volunteer and has sacrificed much to find the content you read every day. Their commitment to professionalism and high standards of journalism made it possible for this great university to have a newspaper worthy of you, our precious readers.

As the outgoing chief, I want to take this opportunity to thank the many people in our campus community for allowing us to be part of your everyday lives and allowing us to share with you the successes of our fellow students and faculty.

I thank the Associated Student executive team for its professionalism, candor and warm friendship.

I am so proud of all you have accomplished throughout the year.

I’d also like to thank the wonderful people at Marketing and Communications for believing in us and supporting us whenever we needed help—which was often. Greg Block, Aaron Bruce and Andrea Rollins,

thank you for your endless coaching and friendship to the paper. To our esteemed journalism professors, thank you for showing us the way and preparing us for our futures as journalists. Without your skills and knowledge, this paper would be an empty shell.

To Christina Brown and her incredible staff, thank you for helping us to manage ourselves and developing us into strong leaders. I will never forget your dedication to our cause.

To my family at Equal Opportunity Program and Student Veteran Organization, thank you for giving me a home and place to rest my mind and find the courage to continue during difficult times. Your unwavering desire to care for students is one of the reasons this campus is so diverse and successful.

To President Hirshman, I thank you for being a leader who cares for the well- being and future of this institution. I always appreciated your willingness and desire to engage with students and discuss their concerns as well as their successes.

To my staff: I will always owe you a debt of gratitude for the hard work and dedication to the newspaper. Whenever and wherever you may be, I will be there for anything you may need.

Lastly, I thank you, our readers. Thank you for supporting our newspaper and believing and trusting us to deliver you honest, professional content. It is your support that helps us continue our mission of excellence and leadership.

San Diego State offers everyone an opportunity to learn and be their best. This is not only a place of growth and education, it is a place of excellence because leadership starts here.

Most Sincerely Yours, Antonio Zaragoza Editor-in-Chief

J. Hutton Marshall Managing Editor

I realize it’s presumptuous for a college journalist to write a farewell column, because few people so inexperienced deserve one, and I doubt I’m the exception to this rule. Still, this is a significant moment for me—the last issue I’ll have a hand in at The Daily Aztec. I won’t be able to look back at my time at San Diego State without thinking of this newspaper, which swallowed up these last four years of mine. Besides, this is the last day before the batteries in this megaphone run out, so I might as well shout into it for just a bit longer.

Julie Aeilts Copy Chief

While I’m excited to be graduating— free of fluffy filler assignments and group projects with disproportionate workloads—the prospect of postcollege life is slightly terrifying to me.

I’ve found comfort in the structure of resting my elbows on a desk five days a week, and I’m overwhelmed by uncertainty as I frantically scour for the life of a professional.

I remember my initial experience traversing the intimidatingly huge campus of San Diego State. I was 15

Lauren Yap Features Editor

My time at The Daily Aztec was the best experience of my college career. I was constantly astounded by the talent and professionalism of the staff. It was very intimidating to be thrust into this position because I was surrounded by exceptional editors who maintained such high standards for this paper.

Not only did I have the privilege to work with the best co-workers, but also the best friends. Although some days were more challenging, I had an overwhelming support system. I want to thank Tony

dustin michelson , senior staff photographer

From my freshman days of being suckered into going to Associated Students council meetings to my current standing as a senior, where I now go to them willingly, I’ve learned the true value of journalism and the power it holds—with all the coffee dependency and heavy drinking that come along with it.

I’m sorry, I won’t bore you with my musings on journalism. You’re already nice enough to read this far, I don’t want to torture you.

What I really want to do is thank you readers this year, and most of all, you critics out there who steadfastly held us accountable for every one of our slipups this year. And no, I don’t

mean those in the Greek system who picked up the newspaper for the first time last week, I mean those who truly engaged us throughout these last 12 months. Good journalism isn’t negative, it’s critical. That’s the only way it can be beneficial. Criticism, internally and externally, is how we as a newspaper got better as well.

So please, critics of The Daily Aztec, don’t ease up on those poor saps inheriting the paper next year. Keep sending the emails in all caps. Keep foaming at the mouth at our outrageous opinion columns and egregious misreporting. Keep demanding better, otherwise you might never get it.

minutes late to my first college class because I couldn’t maneuver my way around, even with the assistance of a map highlighting my route, tucked securely away in the clear, front sleeve of my three-ring binder.

I never thought that now, five years later, I would know the locations of every hidden spot and accommodating staff restroom on campus—you know, the ones with the unblemished paint and accompanying romance novels. From the free Thursday performances at the old Aztec Center stage, to a newly acquired jealousy of the aromatic cooking abilities of

my foreign housemates, college has provided me with unimaginable experiences and friendships. As an employee at The Daily Aztec, I’m grateful to work in an environment with quirky and motivated people.

The conversations held and opinions shared between the pale gray walls of our underground office could not be forgotten, though few were appropriate enough to be recorded. Regardless of the pressing decisions graduating students must eventually face, not always knowing where one is going, whether on campus or in life, is an opportunity to be embraced.

Zaragoza and Hutton Marshall for everything they contributed to The Daily Aztec and for always believing in me and providing feedback.

I also want to thank Ethan Bailey, who is not only a talented writer, but an inspirational person. As for the Features writers, so many of them have continued to write engaging content, and the new writers embraced criticism and are now in a position to be section leaders in the future. I sincerely hope each and every one of the staff writers returns next year and remembers, I am always just a phone call away.

Also, thank you to the backpage writers for sharing your gifts and

making us laugh. I hope the backpage will continue to showcase creativity. The Features section is finally in a strong position, and I have full confidence that Elise Miller, next year’s features editor, will continue to grow and improve the section my team and I worked so hard to build. Finally, thank you to the readers. The Daily Aztec means a lot to many people, and now I know why. I’m honored to be part of a newspaper that has existed for 100 years. Although I am sad to leave, I know I’ve made relationships that will last a lifetime.

Here’s to the next 100 years.

We might be on break, but we’ll never stop opining

greetings Dear Readers, This introduction marks a bittersweet transition here at The Daily Aztec. My ascension to the position of opinion editor means it’s the end of a journey for Leonardo Castaneda, and frankly, I’ve got big shoes

to fill. However, when one journey ends, another begins. Leonardo Castaneda is assuming the role of editor-in-chief, so the paper is in good hands ‌ but what about the opinion section?

First of all, I’d like to begin my tenure as an editor at this paper by saying how grateful I am to Leo and Ana Ceballos, our new manag-

ing editor, for trusting me to lead the section.

I’m excited to work with staff writers and contributors to create material for print and online versions of The Daily Aztec. We are pushing forward into the next year with a renewed focus on local issues and an increasing interest in connecting with on-campus groups.

Opinion writers at The Daily Aztec have a responsibility to you, our readers, to spark intelligent conversation on a variety of topics. No subject is off the table, as long as it’s relevant to San Diego State. For us to find the best possible topics, it’s time for us to actively engage you, the SDSU student body.

If you have any comments, tips

or are interested in joining our team and writing for the opinion section, connect with us at opinion@thedailyaztec.com and be sure to follow us on Twitter @AztecOpinion.

Thank you for reading, Kenneth Leonard

‘Into Darkness’ will be another exciting ‘Trek’

sneak peek David Dixon Assistant Entertainment Editor

J.J. Abrams’ 2009 cinematic adaptation of “Star Trek” was one of the biggest science-fiction movie surprises of the last few years. Not only did the unconventional prequel satisfy many die-hard Trekkies—or trekkers, as some prefer—but there was enough laughter, emotion and energetic creativity to appeal to those who were not even devotees of the franchise. Abrams will try to strike gold again with the sequel “Star Trek Into Darkness” on May 17.

As with most of his projects, Abrams has not revealed too much information about the adventure.

What is clear from the ad campaign is that the crew of the USS Enterprise, including the arrogant, but charismatic leader Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and half human/half Vulcan Commander Spock (Zachary Quinto), must face off against the powerful John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). Many fans have speculated that John is a variation of classic villain Khan from the original T.V. series, but this information is being kept from the public.

Judging from the posters and trailers, this installment will be more grim and bleak than the previous entry. While this could add depth to the reboot, hopefully Abrams still keeps some of the fun that made the previous chapter such a breath of fresh air.

Information about “Star Trek Into Darkness” can be found at startrekmovie.com.

Thanks, Daily Aztec. You’ll always be my Juggalo family. farewell column

Kevin Smead Entertainment Editor

From the beginning of my time at San Diego State, I’ve always looked for somewhere to belong.

I’m a local and learned very quickly that staying in town and going to college has some big perks, though there are an equal number of downsides.

One of those major downsides is that making friends is far more difficult if you don’t live in the dorms.

I didn’t (and still don’t) have the personality to join a fraternity, nor did I know enough about campus life to get involved with some other organization.

In all honesty, I wish I could have just been a Juggalo.

See, Juggalos have a built-in network of friends since they’re all part of one big, sweaty, Great Milenko hockey jersey-wearing family. All I’ve ever wanted is

a group of pals to get stupid on Faygo with and have them return my “Whoop whoops.” I just wanted to be part of a group that was down with the clown until they’re dead in the ground.

Luckily for me, I eventually found The Daily Aztec.

It was as if I’d stumbled upon on my very own Psychopathic Records family. Even starting out as a news writer, I knew I had found the Dark Carnival I’d been looking for. During the two years I’ve been with The Daily Aztec, I’ve learned more than I have in my whole life. Sure, I’ve written a few dud articles here and there, but not every piece can be “Big Money Hustlas.”

In all sincerity, I would have never made it through if it weren’t for the people I worked, and ultimately became great friends, with. The two different staffs I’ve worked with have affected me in different, equally excellent ways and non-ironically, have made me a better person. We’ve been

through some intense trials and tribulations and became closer because of it. We’ve painted our faces with the unholy green sauce from La Casitas, had extensive office debates about exactly how magnets work, held our very own weekly Gatherings and simply grew into mature, sophisticated Juggalos and Juggalettes.

So thank you, The Daily Aztec, for introducing me to some of the best people I’ll ever meet.

Thanks for pushing me, making me work harder than I ever have before and forcing me to grow. I feel as though I’ve become part of something greater and I can’t wait to see where this paper goes in the future. I can rest assured knowing there will always be a great group of people keeping its legacy alive. As for me, I know no matter where I go in life, the friends I made at The Daily Aztec will be there for me. To quote the supergroup Dark Lotus, “I’ll always have Juggalo family.” k athleen galligan , detroit free press , mct

HEY! LISTEN!

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

This is not only a great IT solution, but the strategy the creators of much beloved British TV show The IT Crowd are employing. After several years hiatus, they’re getting the band back together for a legitimate finale. Stars Chris O’Dowd and Richard Ayoade have become more reconigzable faces as of late, with greater presence in both film and TV. Between Ayoade’s roles in films such as “The Watch”and O’Dowds parts in both “Girls” and “Bridesmaids” have kept them quite busy. Roy, Moss and Jen will be back one last time, though, and we cant wait. Will we get a sequel to “Gay: A Gay Musical,” or a new update of Friendface? Will the Elders of the Internet actually know who Jen is? Probably not, but we’re still really excited.

The dreams of our fathers fiction Mason Schoen Staff Writer

At the base of the great rock, the boy’s father measured the length of the rope. He turned to the boy.

“Did I ever tell you what I dreamed of when your grandfather passed?”

The boy stopped tying his shoes.

He looked up at his father, his sun-ripened face wrinkled in the appropriate places. The boy shook his head.

“Well, I dreamed of a river with slow currents. I dreamed I walked into this river and the smooth stones against my feet were somehow dry underwater. There were pines and laurel all around, and it was night, but the stars were out and the moon was full.

“A horse walked out from the dark. In the moonlight, he became my father. ‘The other side,’ he said, ‘is nothingness, and in that nothingness, we are nothing.’”

The man tied the rope to his harness.

“For some reason, that comforted me. He walked back into the night then, not from the way he came but instead, he went across the river. On that bank, I thought I saw him climb a tree of shadows,” the man said as he swung the end of the rope like a pendulum. “But when I looked again beyond the moonlight on the water, there was only darkness.

The current got so strong that I couldn’t swim against it, so I got to the opposite bank and walked out of the river, where the wind froze my skin.

“That’s when I woke up. I walked to your room and cracked the door as you slept. I considered waking you. I considered holding you, but you were too old for that—you were at the age when touch meant weakness.

“And as I sat there, I wondered what dream I’d have if you, my son, died young. What your horse would look like. I wondered if, once in the moonlight, you’d be able to put into words all those things you’d seen beyond, if the afterlife would give you a tongue to speak its secrets.”

The boy watched him. The man began to climb the great rock.

Halfway up, the boy’s father turned back.

The man tethered to the ground and guided the boy up the broken rock face. He watched as his son pressed his hands into the chalked places of the route.

When the boy reached the top, he untied beneath a sprawling oak tree. Night birds warned of darkness. The last light of the day turned archipelagos of sunlight against his skin, the shade of leaves black lagoons between. In the distance, the boy made out the long, broken shadows of running horses, wild and ancient as stone itself. He watched them until they broke through heat—mirrors

as long and calm as sheets of water. He watched them until they disappeared beyond the next rise.

He turned to rappel down.

Against the western ridge, against the sun, an abandoned colt tested the edge of the rock.

The red light flickered. The colt tumbled down the rock, leaving scars of sloughed skin against the stone. The colt smashed flatly against the ground.

Again at the bottom, the boy placed his palm against the body and felt for a pulse.

Instead, all he could feel were broken shards. The colt panted heavily against the earth.

“Dad? I don’t want to watch this. Dad … I don’t, I don’t want to see him die.”

“I know,” his father said. He covered the colt’s eyes from the hungry sun. He moved to hold his son.

The colt spluttered, raised itself from the ground and shook itself of chalk.

He walked through yellow grass until he reached a thicket of oaks in the distance.

He walked through canopies of shade as thick as doorways.

He walked slow and blind through the darkness ahead. He left chalk marks on everything he touched.

I’m sorry, I have to go.

There’s still so much I need to tell you.
