The Gift

  by Connor Zimmerman ’20 It must be perfect, It cannot be any ordinary object. It must make her smile, laugh, and cry. It should be the apple of her eye. Browsing through the stores, The clock is ticking, and doors are closing. Sweat begins to run down my face, It feels like I’m running […]

Lost

by Sam Pellman ’20   I’ve gotten lost multiple times in my life on multiple occasions. I’ve gotten lost in the mall, roaming store after store until I don’t remember where I started. I’ve lost my mom in the grocery store. I’ve lost my car in the parking lot and spent 20 minutes trying to […]
