Claude and Edith, 

My dear friends, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your boy. He was such a brave soul to go into that building after it caught fire. He saved two lives with that selfless heart God gave him, but I'm so sorry those lives ended his own. You should be proud of the honorable young man you both raised and know that he will always be remembered for what he did. I send all my love and hope you are dealing as best you can with this terrible tragedy. I found this picture I had taken for his birthday in the park and I thought you should have it. Please let me know if I can do anything at all for you.

Your dear friend,
Bonnie Edmonson

Hot Summer Night  by JeniRaeD
33 parts Complete Mature
Sixteen years ago, my sisters and I moved from France to the United States to live the American dream. Not long after, I met Declan, a marine who was home for his mother's funeral. He was my everything, my world, and the love of my life. Four and a half years later, I became his fiancée. Then, when I thought everything was going well, my world ended when I awoke to him gone. No note, no nothing. He was just gone. I waited days, weeks, and months to hear from him and for his return. That never happened. Then, I met Chadwick, who took the pieces of my broken heart and put them back together. He promised me many things during our dating years, guaranteeing he'd give me the world. And he was. Then, after years of not wanting to give my entire heart to him, fearing he'd do what Declan had done, I pushed the fear of him leaving me aside and married him. The night we married, instead of giving me the world he promised, I was gifted a nightmare. For over six years, I lived in a lake of fire. If I wasn't locked in a dark, cold room for days on end, day and night, I was tormented, punished, abused, and tortured in the blackest darkness until I could no longer see, talk, or move. Maltreating me until he broke me. Finally, one of my prayers was answered when an ally close to Chadwick helped me escape the prison of hell. She flew me out of New York and brought me to her friend's home in Mobile, Alabama, where I got the shock of my life. He wasn't just her "friend." He was a ghost from my past, and now I'm in his care. Oh, and he has a child nearly as old as our breakup.

Two best friends sealed their acquainted pact by the flickering campfire, never to disclose their shared secret. The fire billowed inside the carcass of a truck deep in the woods, and burning within it was the reason for their unwavering silence. There was no going back from it - the rush, the power that pulsated at their fingertips, the desire to do it again, and again... and again. Syvl Cogney and Esmeralda Harris had an unbreakable bond. They were always by each other's side, whether it was in the hallways of their school, at home, or meticulously planning their strategy for each elimination. Their friendship was so strong that they were inseparable, forged together through their love of killing. Until somebody dangerous noticed the girls. He meticulously planned every detail: from the chains in his basement to the heavy-duty locks on the windows of his secluded cabin. It ensured that no one could ever enter or escape without his permission, and as for Syvl, freedom would be scarce. Little did he know, his plan would turn haywire. All she had to rely on were her skills and the promised truth from her masked captor. With a soul as broken as hers, they form a connection like no other, facing a greater enemy than being caught by the police: Being caught by the System.
