It Ain't All For Nothin

Last Night on 59th street a shoot out involving a liquor storeowner and a couple of thieves. They took over 1,000 dollars in cash from the storeowner.

Police do not know yet whom it was that stuck up this man but they hit him in the side and the head. But we’ve been told that the storeowner shot one of them in the side. The Man He Shot Could Be Seriously injured.

So if you’ve heard something about it please alert the authorities. Because this could have killed a man.

Mom

Silky sun-orange hair,Smelled like peaches:Dances with the wind,Changes color in the water.The stress of it allThe cigarettes litExtreme stress took overDrugs began to scent the airHorrible shoutsCursing and mistakes;The smack of the palm cuffing my cheek,Continuous stinging brick-red mark, giving pain for hoursThe chaos of the whole incident gives my mind earthquakesThe gravel pummeling the desk,Hearing the words Custody to Dwayne Clark paralyzed me.My heart began to ache,My mind began to crumple,I was collapsing, falling apart.My mind created a seal to lock the memories away.-Isaac Clark
