We are all familiar with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" phenomena. This one September day, the health line assumed that. Some young boys dialed 911 as a joke. Their parents were out of the house. However, a few blocks away there was a young boy whose sister was kidnapped. He would have been kidnapped too but he hid himself well. He grabbed a cordless phone and called for help. The people on the other line scolded him while he tried to remain calm. It turned out the people handling the call hung up. The poor boy buried his head in his arms praying for the best.

Origin of Walmart
It started off as a test to further advance Psychology. People would be given starvation wages and poor working conditions. The word "union" was a banned word. Everyday the coordinators of the study would tweak something, while others observed. Some of the people employed would lose motivation at first. Some required an accolade to satisfy them, others would be disciplined, and some would receive a payment. None of these things could be talked about. The repercussions would be severe.

Love and friend
Alright, let me tell you a story about Jamie, Alex, and a little old café downtown that saw it all. Jamie and Alex had been the kind of friends who could finish each other’s sentences, knew each other’s coffee orders by heart, and were always the last two people chatting long after everyone else had left the party. They’d been inseparable since their college days, where they met in the most cliché of ways—bumping into each other and spilling coffee all over the library floor.
