Bleak
“Why did he come back?" Tommy Tate finished his sophomore year alone at home, suspended from Latimer High School.

“Lynne Tate stepped inside her single wide trailer. The icy February air swirled through the open door and pierced her exposed skin. Lynne was tall, slender, had straight brunette hair, and her normally beige face was scarlet from the frozen night.
Lynne’s voice tremored as she called through her home. “Tommy?”
The dining room light glowed over the table, illuminating two torn out pages of a journal. Lynne’s black cat greeted her at the door, twisting through her legs. Lynne stepped to the table. The words “From your son” were written at the top of the torn-out pages.”
2014 on the job
2014 Post:
“Though I discovered that I was not allowed to take my writer's binder to work, I realized that my managers looked the other way whenever I wrote on receipts. In the last 21 months, I've written 20 chapters, 60,000 words and 240 pages on over 150 receipts. Over my last week at GSP dining, I want to step back and thank everyone who has helped make my dream a reality.”
