“Only 5 minutes a day, let’s go on a walk.” I was already out passed the door when my mom wanted us to walk. I sat on a bench painted in black acrylic paint waiting for the bus to drop me off at school, while at the same time, my pink ROOTS backpack was dangling in between both of my legs. Bus 32 stopped right at King Street. I got up holding my backpack on one shoulder as Mr. Alvin opened the bus. I got on and found the red single seat closest to the exit. My stomach started aching a few minutes after I sat down, which ...
“It’s all on me, please there is no need to pay me.” I enjoy reading for others, it helps me and my community. My name is Tristan and I’m here daily as part of my job. I’m twenty-three and I stopped going to college. To be honest, my college year was stressful and no one liked me. That’s when I decided just to drop out.

Time goes by, and I spent...

It was dark at night and a few minutes to the clock striking midnight. I planned to stay up for as long as possible and invite a friend over.

It was a cold Friday morning in Toronto, Canada. There was frost on the ground and it was icy. I got up ready to slay the day. My hair was already straightened and I was in the spirit. I put on my dad’s oversized dark blue shirt and pants, planning to twin with my boyfriend. I looked great! As I rushed downstairs and ate three small yogurts for breakfast and handed my dad my school computer. My dad thought it would be a great idea to show him the messages downloaded from my abusive ex before the school principal sees them. This...
Death is like sadness because it feels like a knife stabbing you in the heart. -Grace It was the night of October 31st and it wasn’t spooky just yet. At already 6pm, it began to become cold and windy. The wind started blowing in my direction covering my full face. Surprisingly, it wasn’t completely dark yet. My house was ready for Halloween, but I knew I wasn’t fully ready. As I took a hot shower, I put on my witch costume from the dollar store and started with my black mascara. I added my purple lipstick and green eye shadow. I ma...
