Interval 1: Glass or Stone

Lilith

I hate everything in the world. The screaming in my head and the boys that stared at me and the knife that held my neck, I just kept on running and running down the eerie hallways. Men glared at me with perverted eyes and the girls whispered to each other about how much I was a slut and the teachers detested me for the grades I've gotten. Why couldn't I just have a normal life like all of them and hang out with my girlfriends and try out new makeup and post selfies on snapchat? Every night I would shrill and fight in my head until I thought my brains were in shreds and thought of the man with the hoodie. He would slam my head into the floor and pound his legs into my thighs and then everything was silent and black.

When I finally found a bathroom and hid in a little, tiny stall where I thought of him; I took some paper towels and swiped my sweat off and then sobbed my eyes out.

"Your momma is not going to help you now," he cackled outside my stall.

I screeched land jumped into the wall, hoping that if I closed my eyes I would be invisible and he would go away, far and far away, more than the earth and stars and universe. With his colossal boots, he kicked the stall and detached the door's hinge and then it slammed into my body with such force that I must have lost consciousness for a second. Blood poured onto the floor and stained my skirt and the pain spread throughout my body. Bile rose up my throat threatening to choke me and I never felt so cold and revealing in my life. Tears gushed out my face and vomit covered my mouth and hands started to touch everything. My Breasts and mouth and stomach and my disgraceful object and then with my salient teeth, I sunk my teeth into his hand like a ferocious animal and he groaned in pain; with all my force I slammed my feet into his jaw and I could feel the bones crack and dissipate. Blackness consumed me and everything from this terrible world was gone.

Oliver

Greenland is where I'm from and when I moved to the great paradise of United States, I cheered in joy and danced until my lungs burst and people stared at me like I was a lunatic. When we moved into my new home I never knew it would be so fancy, the floor was made out of rugs and we had running water and we could just go down the street to get food and I was so happy that we could finally rest and live the most peaceful life ever. Papa explained that he was taking over something called a "supermarket," and I asked what it was and he guffawed and patted my head and told me,

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"It's a place where people get food and fat!!"

When my first day of school finally came I was so excited that I was practically jumping off the walls and mother gave me that warm smile that made me love her even more and when she drove me I asked how school was for her. She told me that there were all these teenagers just like me and you could hang out together and all the teachers would be helpful and maybe you could also get a loving girlfriend that can fill your heart with love.

When I rushed out of the car, running to the lobby of the school the first thing I noticed was the cellphones that they greedily grasped in there hands and it kind of annoyed me that nobody was paying attention to anybody but before I could contemplate even more, the bell rang and I had to go class or I would be in massive trouble; I swiftly unrolled my crumpled schedule and scrouged the school for my 1st class.

I have no friends, which disappointed me and made me angry that mother lied to me because in lunch nobody sat next to me and I had all the space in the world and when everybody got up to there next class everybody ignored me. That never happened in Greenland.

World Literature class was surprisingly entertaining, at the beginning of the period she pounced from her chair and shushed everybody and took away the phones that people were hiding in their lap and started talking about something called the macroverse. She told us that the macroverse was an idea that a turtle named Maturin had a stomach ache once and threw up the whole universe and when that happened, the destroyer was created who is called IT. She said that IT was the destroyer of the all of the universe and his main goal was to eradicate the human race, which kind of scared me and all the students in our class were kind of creeped out. She said IT took many forms like a clown or a mummy or a bird or a spider where if you looked it in the eyes you would die instantly. I could never imagine a single horrifying clown could end all of humanity.

I heard my parents argue tonight about some girl freaking out in school and I was so curious that I got out of bed to make out all the words they were saying. Mother said that a girl was in the bathroom trying to cut herself and she broke down the stall door for no reason and had to take her to the hospital and that how could such a sweet girl become so suicidal. Dad sighed and said that some people are very unstable a little touch can shatter them into little pieces.
