The Schizophrenic Whistle-blower
My story begins with the Tuskegee experiments. Shadowy White supremacist organizations in the government basically feared a black messiah so they meticulously tested black people’s D.N.A to discover “abnormations” that led to a person having different abilities. In the past, a whistle-blower outed these scientists for purposely giving black people syphilis in order to see how their cells would react in various ways. There was a hidden connection between these secret organizations, the adoption industry and the psychiatry industry. Social workers and child protection are used as tools for breaking up families that they think have “abnormations” in their bloodlines. Such “abnormations” lead to a person having abilities like super memorization, telekinesis, the ability to fly, super creativity, extreme intelligence, empathic powers, and any other form of psychic powers. Anything outside of their idea of “non-threatening” is labeled by their doctors and social workers as “schizophrenic”, so people can be secretly categorized for their abilities but dismissed as crazy or damaged in the general population of society.

Where did the Devil's Chair Urban Legend Come From?
The devil's chair became an urban legend when the benches that were so beautifully sculpted became no longer used over the years. Kids started to use them as a place for dares at midnight or on Halloween to see if the dared friend can stay there before the spirit gets them. Also known as legend tripping.

The Two Ideal Outer Banks, North Carolina
On Ocracoke Island, hundreds and miles of uninhabited coastline coexist with a charming village atmosphere.ently find it difficult to pick just one place in North Carolina to take guests. Do they yearn for whitewater kayaking, crisp mountain air, artisan beer, or hiking and biking? They go to places like Asheville and Blowing Rock in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Visit downtown Durham, Chapel Hill, or Pittsboro if you want modern, farm-to-table cuisine and a cool college town.

Meet Your New Stepfather
The grown woman stood in the hallway of the hospital. She had just called her boss and said she would not be back today, and she had called her husband to tell him what was going on, he was leaving work and coming straight to the hospital. She had called her kids to let the two oldest ones that were doing high school classes online know her and their daddy would be late so they would have to look after their younger brothers when they got off the school bus. Last she had called her little brother and told him to come as soon as he could. He was on his way with his girlfriend, with traffic this time of day no one would be here for hours. After all that she just needed to take a breath before she went back in the room, it was going to be a really long day.

Bomb Shelter Pet
My fifteenth year presented me with a forgotten friend. I found her one morning, practically starving, having been accidentally imprisoned in the building’s bomb shelter. She was only a few months old, and readily adopted my petting hand. I brought her some food and thus found myself, once again, the caregiver of my favourite creature.

Father Value
Family structures can be connected to the idea of a family tree. The structure is based upon who had breed together to create the family that exists as a whole and tends to continue to grow. Family structures can also be defined by the roles or power each individual has in the lineage. Normally the Grandmother and her husband hold the highest power that gets passed down to their children, eldest to youngest, and they pass it down to their children. I’ve learned hierarchy proves nothing other than age being increased, in my opinion of the black families. Much like other populations, we tend to suffer from single-parent households and poverty. I plan to discuss the findings of Patricia Thomas of Duke University on the effects of father presence in black homes.

It All Started With A Tomato
A few months before the world shut down, I saw a video on Facebook (or maybe it was Instagram), on growing tomatoes by slicing up a store-bought tomato and simply planting the slices in a pot. I happened to have an overripe tomato in the kitchen so I gave it a go.

THE WORLD OF MR. EDWARDS
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say , Edwards still remembered the day he’d died.. The sky had been exceptionally beautiful, streaked with hues of pink, purple and orange peppered with cirrus clouds. The soft evening breeze had caressed his cold flesh, whispering secrets into his ears like a secret lover. The glow from the setting sun had fallen on half of his body, leaving the tainted red part in the shadow of the banyan tree he’d collapsed under. The birds nesting in its branches had settled back in their cozy homes, looking down at him as if trying to make sense why a perfectly healthy man like him was lying there, bleeding profusely on the wild grass.
