Kidnap: A Short Story

You start running for your life. You look back if he is still chasing you. You trip. You roll down the hill into the bushes. Bushes that are wet and not due to rain. You see a dead body hanging on the tree with her throat slashed. You get up.

You continue running.

You see a highway. You run in the middle of the road. Cars keep passing you. You see the lights getting brighter and brighter. Is it a van, a bus? No, it's a truck. It's going 60 mph. No, 70 mph. No, the driver is going at least 90 mph. You fear for your life but you don't move. On one side of the street, you see the kidnapper trying to cross the street towards you. He crosses the street. The truck is not stopping. Neither are you. The truck gets closer. And closer.

BAM!!! There is blood on the floor. A broken body.

There are four guys that get off the truck. You seem to recognize two of them. The older man with a white beard yells, "Isabella" as he tears up. The other man seems younger and more handsome. You run towards him once you see that it is your beloved one, Ryan. The two guys standing beside your father and boyfriend are police officers. After being disappeared for three days, you have been found. The kidnapper is now dead.

You on the other hand, have so many scars and bruises that it seems as if you have tattoos. As paramedics start coming, more police officers and the media, you feel strange. You walk towards the front of the truck to see the kidnapper for yourself. As you walk slowly towards the front you notice that there isn't a body on the ground.

There is blood but nobody.

You ask yourself, "How can that be? That truck came with such an impact! How? What?" Your body starts shaking. You start crying. You going into a panic attack. Ryan walks towards you and hugs you from behind, your body jumps. You don't understand what just happened. There police officers everywhere with K-9 dogs. There are dogs barking like crazy towards the forest that you just came out of. You run towards the barking noise. You see someone from far away. As you walk towards that person, there is something being reflected on the ground. You grab the broken glass. As you continue walking, someone knocks you down. You turn around. It's the kidnapper. You grab the broken glass as you get up, and stab him in the chest. He falls down. Police officers finally got to where you are. Yet, you are still stabbing him. As police officers are trying to get you up, you take off his mask.

It's Michael. Your step-brother.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
