Farce AND HIS Companions Going IN COASTER
In the core of a failed-to-remember town, where time appeared to have stopped, there was an old, deserted event congregation. The rusting Ferris wheel lingered like a rotting sentinel over the land, and the squeaking exciting ride tracks twisted through the scene like snakes that had tragically missed their direction. The once-bright park currently remains a landmark to the past, its reverberations of giggling gulped by the infringing quietness.

To My Big Brother. Content Warning.
March 3rd I always kind of hated my brother. Well, hate is a strong word. I just always hated how easy everything was for him. He's two years older than me, but everything just comes so easily for him. In high school, he was in ROTC, taking courses in criminal justice so he could get a leg up on his law enforcement career, and had a string of friends and girlfriends to make his high school years amazing. He never seemed to study, always retained what he needed for tests, and finished his high school years half a year early with a nearly perfect GPA. He didn't need to, he could have gone straight to the police academy, but he chose to join the Army for four years, saying it was his "duty to his country. He served as an MP and later as a base investigator for base-related crimes. He was practically ready to start police work when he got out.
