A short dance piece set to Imogen Heap's song Hide and Seek. Focusing on the low incarceration rates for sexual assualt cases. The dancers body is decorated with statistics as you watch her fight the constant battle with the media and against rape culture to be seen as more then just a body to abuse. Eventually ending with her death a figurative ending to the never ending battle for justice in cases of this magnitude. Co-Creater with fellow Odyssey writer, Yasmeen Ashour and dancer Akeelah "Bizzare" Metlock for our final projects. The statistics are as follows:

15 out of 16 Rapists walk free.

39% of attacks reported of those 50.8% chance of arrest.

Of 39% of attacks reported, 16.3% chance of prison.

If arrested 80% chance of prosecution.

If prosecuted 58% chance of arrest.

Once convicted only 64% chance of jail time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
