The downstairs was silent, sunlight danced through the windows and I couldn’t stop the stupid smile that had spread over my face, twisting my head either side to click my neck, snatching the remote of the side table of the three seater couch my thumb hit the power button and the Samsung beeped in reply, with a grin I collapsed back onto the couch, my butt making contact with a very hard substance.

A loud wheeze quickly escaped the person I had sat on.

Stranger’s eyelid’s pulled back slowly and his mouth opened slightly, his green eyes met mine before he lifted the hand that had been on the floor to rub his eyes,”Morning, Angel.” his voice was gruff due to sleep and his body rumbled beneath me.

Even though I felt bad that I was sitting

Yet another ring awakened me as I realized I had invited company. “Here” the text read. My plans for the night hit me like a sledgehammer to a nail and I sprang from the couch to grab the door.…

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    I was 13 years old, just starting off high school, when I realized what this dark cloud that’s been floating over me for the past couple of months really is. It wouldn’t be until more than a year later until I seek out professional help. It started off innocently enough as just a feeling of constant emptiness at the pit of my stomach. It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

    Flames engulfed my blurred vision as my sobbing, curled up figure choked and convulsed. Oxygen depleted from my lungs as the smoke quickly drew in to replace it. The blazing inferno roared in my ears -- over my piercing screams -- demanding that it be heard. I could feel the intensifying heat, but I was numb to the imminent burns; I was numb to everything. The sky began to blacken, as did my perception.…

    “Baruch atah Adonai, noten ha’torah”, I passionately chanted before my friends, family, and the congregation of Beth Shalom. Those five Hebrew words, which had been ingrained in my memory over the past months, concluded my first aliyot; according to Rabbi Kosman, I was now a full-fledged man. No longer would I be sidelined to the kids’ table at family events nor constrained by the 10 o’clock lights-out policy. Rather, I would enjoy all the benefits that seemed to come from adulthood: rated-R movies, the occasional sip of wine at the dinner table, and access to my own personal finances.…

    Reconciliation Interrupted by the faint sounds of birds chirping and grass swaying in the gentle breeze, the calming silence became a distant memory. As the birds flapped their wings, moving at the edge of the tiny meadow, from one tree to the next, they cast their shadows over the body of a small brown skinned, black haired girl. She lay on her back in the hilltop grass, facing directly up towards the almost blinding light of the afternoon sun. Her dark skin, holding a lively warm glow, reflected the rays of sunlight off of her quickly flickering eyelids. Suddenly, they were open, revealing her dark brown almond shaped eyes and her ever so slightly off white sclera.…
