                                                                      Names
     

           I looked into the mirror.  All I could see was the names people had called me.  I did not want to believe it.  But something made me glance back up at the mirror.  I turned and left.  That night, I just couldn't eat anything so I went to my room.  I could not understand why I had cared about all those comments.  I walked back toward my mirror and smiled.  I knew what I was going to do.  I walked over to my phone, and logged out of all my social media accounts.  I had regained my confidence.

                                                                   The Tunnel


            The water was splashing against my ankles.  The smell was almost unbearable. I continued to run.  I spotted in the distance, that there was light.  My hopes suddenly raised.  I stopped and glanced upward.  It was another sewer cover.  I climbed the ladder, hoping I was finally safe.  I grabbed onto the cover, but found myself slipping back toward the murky water.  I looked back up at the cover.   Slime dripped through the cover, landing with a splash in the water.  Suddenly, I heard a voice from the other end of the tunnel.  It was the police.
