Zackary stepped out sooner or later, and dried himself off on his flannel before getting redressed and going back to camp.

She's seen nothing but the concrete
Yeah, the world has left her cold
She's been beaten, bruised, and broken
She's felt pain instead of love
Inside, she was an angel
But she never knew she was

I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created me, something I would've never seen
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me
After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You're the only one who knows, who I really am

I plastered a smile on my face as I walked down the stairs, mentally preparing myself to be yelled at. When I got downstairs I found my mom smiling as she was cooking up a storm. She was running around the kitchen, working on a couple of different things at the same time. I quietly took a seat at the island and watched, waiting for he to notice me.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

Upon first inspection, the two didn’t look like they should be together: Marlene Angel, the upbeat naturalist, with pale skin and long, stunningly fire truck red hair with freckles walking hand in hand with Josiah Angel, the competitive blacksmith, with his tan and buzz cut of black hair.
Throughout the enjoyable walk in the park, Marlene was continuously pointing out what was to her amazing specimins of nature. She noted them with such enthusiasm Josiah couldn’t help but smile.
Then, Marlene turned the attention back to Josiah.
“So, you’ve got that big competition tommorow,” Marlene remarks, swinging their hands.
“And afterwards…” Joiah teases, nudging her.
“A date with yours truly.” Marlene grins, before looking down at their intertwined hands to stare at the engagement ring she’d received from him just the week before.
“I suppose you could say I’ll kill two birds with one stone,” Josiah remarks, looking into the distance happily.
Suddenly, Marlene stopped in her tracks, staring shell-shocked at Josiah.
“You’ll…what?” Marlene gasped, the last word a whisper. Josiah looked very uncomftrable at this point.
“I..I said I’ll kill two birds with one stone…are you alright, love?” He asked, tilting his head in worry.
To his surprise, Marlene ripped her hand from his. “You’re joking about…about KILLING ANIMALS?” She raised her voice, fire building in her eyes. Josiah tried to defend himself by putting his hands up and stuttering incoherently, but to no avail.
“I take that as a PERSONAL OFFENSE…I have been a NATURALIST for EIGHT YEARS and you know this WELL!!” She began to yell at him. “This isn’t FUNNY, JOSIAH! You are DISRESPECTING ME and my CAREER! I cannot BELIEVE that YOU, JOSIAH, would DO such a THING!” She took a deep breath in, making sure to emphasize each word with power and authority. Some other couples walking in the park began to stare and mumble things to each other.
“Mar, I would never-”
“DISRESPECT!”
“It’s an…”
“I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!”
“IT’S AN IDIOM!” Josiah finally shouted, stopping afterwards to realize what he’d just done. He’d yelled at his fiancee.
With arms opened, he walked towards his fiancee, who accepted the hug, standing as though petrified on the spot. After Josiah pulled away, she mumbled:
“It’s…it’s an idiom?”
Josiah nodded. “Yes. I’m so, so, so sorry. I thought everyone knew that idiom. I didn’t mean to yell at you, or offend you, I really am sorry, Mar…”
“I know you are. I’m sorry for not understanding.” Mar replied, smiling and taking his hand again.
Josiah smiled, relieved, swinging their hands just as she had before. The couple smiled at each other before walking on.

The house certainly didn’t come off as welcoming - it wasn’t even finished, house-wrap encirlcing the wooden planks and plywood serving as a ceiling. It was certainly no place for the girl, not even sixteen, with her black hair that caught what little light there was with sheen and her pale, almost angelic face. No, she had no place here. And yet here she was.
Curled up inside of the thin, navy-green tarp, she shivered in both cold and fear. Even she didn’t know why she was here - was it impulse? Was it desire? Fear? But there was no time to dwell on that - the sky outside was gray and the moon barely cast light on the thin vegetation around the abandoned house. She had to stay alert, in case it wasn’t safe - which it wasn’t - ashes still lay in the fireplace, occasionally lifted up and laid back down on the girl by the wind.
Eventually, the poor girl lost the long and well-fought battle of her against her eyelids. Curled, shivering in the thin tarp, she dreamt poorly and coldly. What a shame.
As if on cue, uneven footsteps stepped onto the plywood and began to echo through the thin, bare house - first on the tile of what would have been a kitchen and bathroom, then to the plastic covering of the living room, then to the stone porch, and finally to the bedrooms made of plywood, where our girl is resting. Our poor, angelic girl who should not be here.
A blade is unsheathed. It could be viewed as pretty is it was not in these circumstances. It was one of those metals that reflected all sorts of different colors in the lighting, and the sliver of moonlight that shined on it was perfect for this. There was a (probably fake) unidentifiable gemstone in the handle, a sort of chilly blue.
The uneven footsteps drew closer across the plywood. The footsteps were hard, as if made in business shoes. The blade, too, came closer to our girl.
It made contact with our girl. Our girl is dead. She was not supposed to be here. There it went, another unfair life. One that drove itself to death.
The uneven footsteps hobbled in the other direction.

You may have hurt that one friend earlier, but that doesn't mean you're worthless.
