Escaping Reality

As a little girl I used to write down all of my dreams. They all involved me, happy little Avery Marie Lockhart. Some dreams would be about how I defeated an alien on a planet full of bubblegum, and others were how I lived on a farm with my perfect family raising two chickens and a duck. I would dream about how I would become famous, and buy my dad everything he ever wanted. I was the one who supported the family... I took care of it all.
Things have changed now. I still write down all of my dreams, they’re just not so happy anymore. Little Miss Avery grew up. And her dreams have turned into nightmares. That alien that I defeated has come back to haunt me, along with all of its other monster friends. Some nightmares are just memories, about how mom died. Or some are about what would happen if dad ran out of alcohol.
I have had this one dream though, many times. It’s about me, escaping from here.
Leaving this place behind me and moving on. But it always stops before the very end, so I never know if I actually do escape.

To Be Loved
There are different people who live on this planet who have different personalities, body shapes, and skin colors, but all of them are looking for the same thing. Love, peace, and a warm, comfortable life. All of them are looking for a companion to share their lives with and to help them fight their dark side; they want a shoulder to lean on when they feel vulnerable and a warm hug to embrace them after a long, tiring day. That's what most of them wished to own; this is exactly what they've been desperately seeking. Are they going to have what they desire? Or will the future be hard on them, making them suffer first before fulfilling what they yearned for? Small peak. "If you cross that door, then consider that you have no family; you will be dead to us." Her father shouted at her. She looked at her feet, thinking, what did she hope to hear from him? She turned around and looked at him dead in the eyes. "Have I ever been alive to you, dad? Have you ever for once treated me as your daughter, a part of this family?" She said it with a trembling voice. Her father was fuming with anger. "Then leave, and put that in your mind; the moment you close this door behind you, you are DEAD TO US," he yelled at her. She only looked at him dejectedly but was more determined to never stay. She reached her limit; she looked at her brother and mother, who were holding him to prevent him from reaching her, and smiled brokenly.
