Losing Owen

Brooke W.

The monitor let out a final stretched beeeeep. The body lying in the bed was now stiff as stone and cold as ice. The nurse let out a sad sigh and exited the room. She knew how hard it was to deliver news like this, but it didn’t stop her. As soon as they heard the news, Sophi felt a sob creeping up her throat. Tears rushed to her eyes. All at once, all of her emotions spilled onto the Kleenex in her hand. Owen’s mother hugged her tightly. She, too, was crying, but much less since she’d already cried so much.

Night Thief

Brooke W.

“This way, you idiot!” Kaz whispered. Kali, Raya, Juniper and I all slowly and silently crept toward the vent. Kaz busted the vent open with his crobar. The opening fell and clattered on the white marble floor. He flinched at the loud noise, then fastened the rope to his gym weight, which he’d been carrying in his backpack. “Me first,” he said, sounding irritated. He was leading the mission, and according to him, Juniper wasn’t doing a good job with the directions. Kali was the bagger, Raya was the watcher, Juniper was the mapmaker, Kaz wa...
