By Gisele Anagnost, TIWP Student After all of these years, it just couldn’t be. Oh the terrors that everyone went through ruining their own sanity in the process. And now She was coming back, turning everyone’s darkest nightmares into reality. Everyone thought that they had made sure that this would never happen again. They sacrificed […]

By Annabelle Kennedy, TIWP Student The hot sun beat down on the back of Layla’s neck, searing her skin. Sand and dirt stuck to her clothes, was trapped in her hair. Her hands were blistered and raw from hours of intense labor. Normally Layla Kent did not dig holes; she let others do that work […]
