"Three More Found Dead, Two Missing"

The headline causes my hands to shake. The upperclassmen of Thornborrow University just recently went on a trip to the Amazon Rainforest. There were sixteen people; fourteen students and two teachers. Fourteen have been found; twelve students and both teachers. The faces of the students were so battered that police are still unable to identify most of them. The only reason they could identify the teachers was because they wore special badges to signify that they were touring with the students.

It's been three days since the first wave of bodies was found, yet only one student's lifeless body has been recognized. Thornborrow University had to pay the family of this student, Richie Hudson, $10,000 as an apology. Of course, Richie's family is still suing T.U., as are other families. Nobody else knows if their child is dead or if they're one of the last two remaining. I've cried for three days since I heard the news; my sister, Abigail, was one of the seniors on the trip.

She was so excited to go; it had been her dream to go to the Amazon Rainforest since she was six. After she met a parrot named Rex, she knew that she loved the forest and everything that dwells inside of it. Once she heard that there was an opening for the "Amazon Rainforest Enrapture!" She immediately signed up. She left in 6 days, and nobody has seen her since.
