"My ancestors were Apache," he told me carefully removing some tobacco from a brown leather pouch and tucking it into his pipe. "You're the first Native American student we've had on the ranch. I hope you do well." He closed his eyes and inhaled the tobacco as if it had a redeeming quality. The sound reminded me of steamboat I once saw on the Trinity River at the state fare in Houston. The smoke smelled like sweet charcoal. I liked it.
Peta is a Navajo teenage boy experiencing work herding cattle from one large Texas ranch to another. Unfortunately, he is accompanied by a high school bully - now a drug addict - Anthony. Both boys will be indelibly changed after their trip.
America today, like all western countries, is struggling with the rise of racism, the problem of ever harder drugs and drug addiction, and forgiveness. This story attempts to capture that mood.

Boo, Inc.
Welcome to Boo, Inc....Have you ever created a prosthetic head so convincing that you could chop it off in an Insta Live Stream, gaining a thousand followers overnight and a call to the cops? Have you ever dressed up as monsters to scare the living daylights out of a cheating boyfriend, all for a hundred dollars and a flood of social media hits? Have you ever stabbed someone to death for fun and dumped their body in the LA river? It all started with two kids named Boo. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Boo-Z, short for Boo Alice Zook, but you can call me Boozy. High school in Cali was a wild ride, going from being a hotshot macro-influencer dancing in the streets to living in a wheelchair after a brutal hit and run. But my sexy-psycho-quasi-boyfriend, Boo Alexander, isn't ready to let me leave the industry just yet. Something's not quite right in my head, but Boo always has a solution for me. A caffeine cleanse, a line of coke, shots of apple cider vinegar with herbal tea - anything to keep my mind focused. I've basically hit the Sadomasochistic Jackpot. If I take a spin around the block in my wheelchair and down a six-pack, my passion for killing will reignite. Especially now that we're getting paid for it.

Waiting Until Dawn {Mike Monroe x Reader}
"Back to this hellhole, huh?" "I wouldn't call it a hellhole" He mutters. "Oh, but I would." I snap harshly. He almost flinches. "(Y/n), I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to get out of hand like that..." I cut him off. "I know. But I can't believe you would ever think of doing that. It's cruel!" He looks away in shame. "I'm sorry." He says again. "It's not me you should have apologized to." I say, hot tears threatening to spill. I didn't know who to feel about him. I was so completely in love with him, maybe I still am, but they were my best friends. I just wish everything could have been different.Complete
